Purses and Handbags and Totebags "Oh my"!!

People who know me best know I absolutely love the items listed in my title!  I think I like shopping for bags and shoes because no matter how much weight I gain or lose they will always work. :)  Here is a pic of the new purse my family got me for Mother's Day (good job honey)

Isn't she beautiful?!  I heart Steve Madden!

And here's my totebag I earned from having my 31 party.

Love, love, love it!

Now that I have gone from a small more stiff handbag to a large roomy purse I had to change what I kept all the little stuff in that sinks to the bottom of any purse.  I was using this cutie:

It's great with lots of pockets, zippered and non-zippered, room in the middle and a snap with rings to grab quickly and move from purse to purse.  I got mine at Maurice's.

But it just wouldn't work in the new purse so I had to put stuff into little bags instead.

Keeps everything in place and I can grab them quickly. 

So how do you keep stuff tidy in your purse? 

I'm always looking for new ideas. 

And oh ya, if you need a new purse I'm having a garage sale this weekend and these are just a few to choose from!  hehe

It's in the Bag!

I was browsing through my Anthropologie issue last night.  LOVE that store....can't afford much but there's so much eye candy and you never know when you can find something great on clearance.  I only wish we had one here.  Thus the catalog. 
So I'm flipping through the pages and come across this cute bag...

Love it!!  Then I think, well that looks similar to the bag I've been carrying for a month or so...

Not an exact match but somewhat similar.  So first I get excited that I bought it then I look at the price tag of the one in the magazine and get super excited because I didn't pay $198 for mine.  I paid $25!!  Thank you Ross (and Kenneth Cole)!  Just goes to show, cute fashion doesn't have to empty your wallet.
