Thanks to JCA for sharing the unpublished code SHOPNOW, good for an extra 30% off sale items on J.Crew online. The discount makes this little bag $138.60, and still available in 7 rich colors. I got mine for $95 after calling several places using their in-store locator system – but I was told red was the only color at that price, and that I got one of the last ones left nation-wide at the clearance price (this was 2 weeks ago).
This bag is a lovely size for something with a smaller frame and can be worn three ways. You can carry it from the top handle as a handbag (above), sling it casually from your shoulders using the detachable long strap (below)…
Or you can loop the handle over your arm satchel-style…
Left: off the rack fit vs. hemmed + tapered Right: unaltered and rolled up, styled with basic black
Readers – Have you fallen yet for the little red bag? Please share any other classic and affordable options!

A new H&M; store opened recently near me, and I finally made it there yesterday. Looking around the store I found one pair left of those "Cruella de Ville" pants and lo and behold, they were a size 4 (perfect for me, since H&M; is just about the only place that hasn't vanity sized me down to a 0). I tried them on and was delighted that they fit perfectly. And for the price ($12.95!) how could I pass them up? I only wish I had had those pants a few years ago when I dressed as Cruella de Ville for Halloween (taking my little boys dressed as dalmatian puppies trick-or-treating).
the pants are great! Love the color!

Look for less!!!
Love those pants! I bought the spotted dress and did some major streamlining and it looks really cute. They didn't have the pants at my store at the time, but I definitely need to go check back in now. Hope I'm not too late!
Nice outfit o.O. I love ur pants xoxo
Chic and lovely!! Really loving the spotted pants 🙂

sounds really good! hope you decide to do a REVIEW of back suits for interviews…
I wanted to ask about your hairstyle! Your hair always looks amazing. I have really long hair and want to shorten it. Do you get your hair cut in layers to add bounce?
How come I can't find some nice pants like that on my local HM? You look amazing!!!
Amazing find!
Hi Annapurna! I saw all those things! : ) Trying to buy as little as possible from there (until fall arrivals hit, at least).
I think I saw the little one in person and it was really small. The "big" Edie really isn't too big in person, even for someone my size (~5 feet tall).
Black suit, feminine blouse (not too low cut), pearls, and 3.5" heels : )
Thank you! I cannot believe you're actually a reader! Hope you celebrated the years of hard work : )
Thank you for sharing, Grace! I had no idea I was on there – very exciting. And I agree with your Cruella de Ville reference…I kNEW I was inspired somewhere ; )
Hi Tien – I struggle with hair and would like to get a small barreled iron, but in the mean time (as in these pics) I just sleep with it in a loose bun for the waves.
I tried filming but wasn't sure if it was successful. I absolutely love the bag though and will do a post within the next 2 weeks. Hope you are happy with yours too!
Thank you, Anh! My boyfriend snapped these.
So classy 🙂 Love your aesthetic.

Jean, this outfit looks so polished, even with spotted pants! For some reason H&M; pants never look good on me, though. They always fit funny in the hips area. You're lucky they fit you well because they're so cheap!
By the way, who took these photos? They look great!
xo,
Anh
That bag is beautiful! And I'm surprised at the quality of those H&M; pants! They look wayyyyy more expensive than $13!
Thanks for the shopping codes! Love when people share the knowledge wealth!

Great idea with a pop of colour in the accessories. I struggle with the crease-proneness of H&M; pants but I love the way these sit on you. Also love how you style your hair too – do you have any tips ? Would love a video if you get a chance!

Have you done your review video for the new Prada bag? looking forward to the video! I ordered the same one following you, but can't wait to see your video when mine is still on the way to me 🙂
Love how the red and dots pop! Reminds me of Cruella de Vil and the dalmatians. Also, I wanted to share how excited I was to have spotted you on banner of the Style Snaps page of Stella & Dot! (http://www.stelladot.com/content/instagram)
Gorgeous! And that satchel is so cute!

The pants are awesome!! Love black red combo!!
Hi, I love your blog–always so classy and chic! Also, I came across this article about "cheap" fashion and I was wondering what your thoughts on it were. http://business.time.com/2012/07/26/need-for-speed/
Those are some fun pants! You look lovely and love the red bag!!
LOVE the pants, especially with the red bag!!
Question about the Edie bag. I was looking at the Little Edie bag, and couldn't decide if the bigger one was a little too big for non-work purposes, and the little one a little too small. I haven't seen either one in person. Any thoughts?
I was thinking the same thing as DSK Steph…101 Dalmatians! Those pants are so fun…I was actually thinking they were J. Crew. The price you paid is great!
That purse keeps taunting me! I really wanted it in the pretty turquoise color, but never pulled the trigger. That is awesome that you found it for under $100!!
Thanks for sharing the SHOPNOW code! I might have to give the site another look…I have a few items I want to pick up for the upcoming school year.
You look so beautiful! I love those pants and I've been eyeing that bag forever!
xo, Yi-chia

Gorgeous! When you first posted a picture of this bag, I thought it might be the one from F21 I had been eyeing just a week or so before. Of course it's not though! Those pants and sandals are fantastic!
Thanks so much for the alert! I'd been wanting the Edie bag for a while now, but couldn't stomach it at full price. I'm getting the cobalt color and I'm so excited!
i love these pants jean!
