MERGED MARY JANES: "The worst part about getting bags under your eyes is finding the shoes to match." -Adrienne Gusoff

To this day, my favorite purse is still my hot pink ankle boot purse. I spotted it in a hair supply store. I received many compliments, as it was unique and cute.

I see plenty of purses with matching shoe sets (my last one was a turquoise purse and shoes set. There was an Austrian crystal encrusted buckle on the band of the shoes). In my opinion, it takes the hassle of trying to compliment your two most important accessories.

However, the birth of the shoe purse is a spectacular one, as each one is sure to gather both compliments and jealousy. Finding a shoe purse can be a challenging experience, as you might have to visit a boutique or specialty store to find one of quality.

On theobsessionboxco.com, one of their items is a shoe purse filled with foot spa products - foot soak, lotion and spray. It comes in five

varieties: blue jean with soft pink trim, patent leather black, white with black trim, burgundy with black trim and Louis Vuitton inspired (side note: it's not a knockoff bag). Each sell for $24.99. (theobsessionboxco.com)
