A lot of bloggers post pictures of the amazing things in their purses. Me — I am posting the stuff in my purse not because it is amazing — but because there is SO MUCH STUFF! I really want a new fabulous, amazing, terrific, perfect bag, but with all my stuff I am severely limited in my options. Small little clutches are just not possible …
Plus, there is usually some sort of snack food, and during bad weather an umbrella, a hat, gloves, an extra scarf or all of the above. Hey! I can’t help it! I have a LONG commute. I need everything in here. Some days I am away from home for 20 hours …
Any ideas? Any great, large bags that totally work for you — and didn’t put you in the infamous poor house? S — O — S! Save our stuff! {ah ahh ah ahah ahha}

I love your writing style! You have me laughing away…“SOS” = perfect!
As far as bags go, I have tried soooo many different handbags, tested a bunch for quality and style. I find that my Nine West bag is probably my favorite. It has 3 storage compartments. 2 open spots and a large zipper in the middle, allowing me to divide my things for quick and easy access. (plus smaller ones tucked inside) It’s perfect and gray, so it goes with everything. I have had it for nearly 2 years and it still looks amazing. (not expensive, really, either)
The other one a like, that is a little more, is Michael Kors. His bags are so buttery soft and keep their shape well. If you find a classic one on sale, scoop it up
I hope that helps!

I usually carry the same type of things– today it was a banana, a scarf, a wallet, a book, a notepad, keys, make-up, more make-up, camera..it get’s ridiculous. I have two bags that I love and are huge, a slate sita murt, and a patent black gerard darel..I find that any large hobo-ish bag usually works for me as it can seriously expand.
