Bag it up

For  while now I've been thinking that I need a new purse-- one that has class, style and functionality.  I must admit that I am the type of lady who, as much as I like fashion, I don't tend to really give much thought to the bag I'm carrying.  I've always been far more concerned with the function rather than the fashion...that said, I have been coveting purses on a higher designer caliber lately.  This is strange for me but exhilarating! But I am still not really willing (nor able) to pay designer prices.  Thus you see my predicament.  

These are several bags that I find cute, compelling and couture~

Orla Kiely-  how adorable is this car print? This is actually a laptop bag.

Kate Spade- classic!  And while we are on the subject of Kate Spade, have you seen her literary line of clutches?  Here's a peak:

Don't need a clutch, but I want one of these soooo bad! ;)

Jo Totes--I know this is a camera bag (for ladies) and I may not have a fancy camera (yet) but I still want it.  I love the cute design and all the pockets and dividers inside.  Oh the possibilities!

But here is the bag I ended up buying!

Twenty bucks from Target.  Yes, so maybe I didn't find my inner-purse-goddess with this post and maybe I'll never be able to bring myself to spend more than $100 on a purse, but I had fun writing this none-the-less.  I also think that my 20-buck pink parcel looks a tad bit Kate Spade-ish, don't you?  Well in any case, it holds all my stuff, it's pretty and it's pink.  I don't see how anyone could go wrong with that!
