Fashion Shoot Handbags for Vertigo!

For the past few years, I would often run into an attractive young blonde in our apartment building in La Jolla and we would exchange pleasantries.   Our exchanges were always related to fashion because she was always wearing amazing handbags and cute outfits.   She was super friendly and had an incredible wardrobe.     One d
