Have you seen or heard of Cult Gaia’s ONE Ark bag?
If not, you’re about to notice it everywhere! It’s exploding.
Actually it’s flying off shelves so fast…it has since completely sold out EVERYWHERE since I wrote this post on Saturday. Except for here. So I would literally jump on it NOW.
For you bloggers, I know this Japanese inspired picnic basket handbag is not new. It started making it’s appearance last year, but it’s in full mode this season – especially now that it’s warming up. Spotted on celebs and fashionistas alike (Jessica Alba, Gal Meets Glam and Damsel In Dior to name a few) , I just got one myself! The best part…it’s under $98 (but has since increased slightly in price). Which NEVER happens with trending handbags. I ordered it right before Miami and wore it every night. It goes well with everything – from casual to dressed up and day to night.
This was the part I was going to say, “It was sold out on Shopbop but it’s baaaaack!”. But like I said above, it’s sold out again (ugh! In 3 days! SO SORRY). And not just on Shopbop, all the carriers…
I wore this exact look out to dinner in Miami. The LBD has the perfect tassel detail but still classic. And by Endless Rose of course! It’s by far my go to favorite brand. I scored it at my favorite boutique in Elmhurst (who just started carrying Endless Rose too!). To follow the spirit of this post…it was on Tuckernuck but sold out in 3 days too. What the heck!
BUT these pink heels are BY FAR one of my favorite purchases of 2017. AND they’re still in stock. Last but not least right? They carry you all through spring and summer with compliments galore. They add the perfect pop to an otherwise dull outfit.
So tell me. Have you seen the Cult Gaia handbag? If so, do you like it? FYI – They just released a few new colors this month (more expensive but still reasonable!). I personally love the black acrylic and dark stain.
Sean thinks it’s weird! LOL. Which means it’s right on point. We dress for the ladies any way, right?
Special thanks to Z dog for taking these pictures (and several more)!! And how gorgeous is the Loews Hotel – where we snapped these photos during our stay!
GET THE LOOK TOO!
This whole outfit is a big YES! At first I wasn’t sure how I felt about the “it” bag this year but now I LOVE IT!

Thank you Sam! How’s that little chickadee of yours doing? I’m obsessed with all her outfits. Xx
Oh hey cutie! I love that purse, but the dress is adorable too! xx
Awww thank you Maya! Hope you are well pretty lady!
SO obsessed with this bag!
Would you suggest the original color or the dark stained? I can’t decide!
Hi Anna! I’m obsessed with the bag too! It seriously goes with everything. I love the original color (I feel like it’s very safe) but the dark stained would be just as beautiful and classic. The dark would especially pop with white! Also, not to throw a monkey wrench into your decision, but Jenn just posted a picture with the white acrylic version and it’s so pretty too! https://www.instagram.com/p/BRjYpA-DsHf/?taken-by=jenniferlake
Now… this is a bag I have been contemplating sooo long whether to get or not! Just not really my style yet a cute bag for Summer to go to the beach in. It’s obviously nice on its own without my usual crap complicating the look.
Now you are making me re-think if I should get it!! Urgh…
Thanks for sharing…

It’s definitely different but the more I saw it, the more I love it. And I’ve found I consistently reach for it because it goes with eeeeeevvvverything. Not to mention, it adds a little ‘fun’ to an otherwise simple outfit.
