Model Hyoni Kang gives us her secrets for hair, makeup and fitness on Elle.com. "Everything I use is Kerastase," says Kang. She's also a fan of the Lumiere Nutri-Sculpt. (I just started using that a month ago and it keeps it from drying, especially when I use the flat iron!)

Back in December, I began a series of personal posts entitled "A Few Of My Favorite Things" with the goal of sharing with my readers the things that I love. From my obsession with reality shows to a penchant for Hershey chocolate bars to my favorite person and all of her favorite things, I've provided a glimpse into what Señora Cartera favors. Now I'm closing out this series by sharing my all-time favorite bags with you.

When Sarah Jessica Parker's Carrie Bradshaw made the Fendi Baguette the "it" bag to have, I loved it and had to have one. Back then, I was single and favored smaller bags. The 'Baguette' was the perfect companion. I had quite a few, but, sadly, ended up selling them all to fund my next bag obsession.

This leads me to the Balenciaga City Bag. I've bought many of them as well, but only sold away a few. For me, the 'City' provides the look and feel I prefer to use on a daily basis. I can bang up my City bags without worrying because the quality of the goatskin leather on these designs is beyond comparison. I love that I can have the same bag, but switch things up with different colors. It's change done in small doses, and that's how I like my bags to evolve.

Now that you're familiar with my past and present bag obsessions, it's time to know what I hope lies waiting for me in my future. While the handbag loving world fawns over the Hermés Birkin, I long for a sweet, demure Kelly Bag. Even though a croc Kelly is pictured here, my heart desires an Hermés 32 cm black lizard Kelly. This bag is the epitome of timeless sophistication. I want to grow old with that bag. I want to attend my son's weddings carrying that bag, and I'd want to be buried with it. If I'm lucky enough to go to heaven, then I want my black lizard Kelly bag with me for eternity.  My hubby promised I could get one on our 10th wedding anniversary. Only four more years to go.

There you have it, folks. I hope you've enjoyed learning a few things about me from knowing what my favorite things are. I'd love to know what your all-time favorite bags are. Please feel free to share!
