My perfect getaround "everyday" bag

 

 

I'm not a handbag girl. I would like to be. I want to be. I look at them, admire them, want to touch them, display them on my bookcase like works of $4K a piece art.

But in everyday life I am one step above "shove everything in my pockets and hope nothing falls out" girl.

So far I've been getting away with a nice little pewter WOC from Saba (at a steal!) but shits getting serious now what with phones and cards, mints, baby wipes, etc. And I hate Totes. I can't do a Tote. Too bulky, too ugh. So crossbody or messenger it is.

I've been doing a lot of window shopping on Neiman Marcus lately because I have a wedding coming up and can't get the shoes I want anywhere else so I thought I'd give 'em a go. Well, talk about fast shipping!

So I got the Michael Kors 'Hamilton' messenger bag. Michael Kors, to me, is like Guess or Roberto Cavalli (read: ghetto "fabulous") It's kinda tacky, kinda high-school-girl-tryin-a-be-luxe, but I won't lie: I love this bag. Small, but not tiny, with three little compartments.



My only complaint? I think I might need to punch an extra hole in the strap so it can hide my "after lunch" bulge.
