As many of my readers may know, I have an addiction. Handbags, I have to have new handbags all the time. And now I have found the perfect place to get my daily dose of handbags, at none other than Handbag Heaven. And oh, what a perfect name they have. If you are like me then browsing through their website leaves you with a list a mile long of which ones you want. I was recently able to review one of their handbags, the Patricia Tote, and I fell in love. Just look at this awesome handbag:

The Patricia Tote is a sophisticated and classy answer to the slouchy bags that have consumed our lives in recent months. Lady-like is the word that comes to mind when you catch a glimpse of the smooth tan leatherette that is accented by woven detailing along the front. The front bonus pocket is actually a removable chain handbag that can be used when you don’t want to lug around the entire tote. It easily slides in and out of the front pocket and lines up seamlessly with the larger tote.

The inside of the Patricia is an organization extravaganza! A full length zippered pouch runs through the middle to divide the handbag into equal parts. One section includes a zippered tote, while the other includes places for credit cards, pens and your beloved cell. An additional zippered pocket is located on the back side of this great find.

I LOVE this handbag!!! The fact that it has a separate place for my cards and cell phone so I don’t have to use my bulky wallet is a great bonus. And the removable chained handbag is like getting two for one. And I just love this tan color, it goes with so many of my outfits so it will definitely get its use. I am really impressed with this company and their handbags. And they have something for everyone. Having a lot of colors and styles to choose from makes this the perfect place to get a high fashion handbag for a not so high fashion price. I will be telling all my friends about this online store and I would like to share this Heaven with my readers too.

In working with Handbag Heaven I am able to offer one lucky Dirty Shirt reader a $50 Gift Certificate to do a little shopping of their own on the Handbag Heaven website. See below for rules on entering.

Pamper Mom Extravaganza Contributor

Because every Mom deserves to be pampered!

I am a purse- aholic. I have a good collection going at the moment and am wanting more. My husband thinks I am nuts (maybe I am) but I swear if we ever won the lottery I would be in purse heaven. I say win the lottery because my hubby is like "$325.00 for a purse…..hellz NO" lol of course I don’t get them but boy would I love to. The price sucks I admit that I agree with him there. But oh how I long for new purses

I know I am nuts!!!!!! BUT I take great comfort in knowing that I am not the only one out there who loves purses, so there
