The Quest For a New Purse

I’ve taken a break from blogging to concentrate on my career. Now that I’m on a good track and am no longer doing interviews, I figured a quick update is necessary. The first piece of business is the news that the fiance and I are officially living together in the big apple! Second is a small wedding update, we’ve finally come up with a semi-wedding date! We’re thinking January/February 2015 (but this is likely to change).

Anyways, I’ve been on a quest to find a new purse for a while now. The last one I got was a gold Marc Jacobs crossbody which I LOVE. It’s so versatile including an option to extend the purse by unzipping the bottom. It’s not sold anymore, but you can get it on ebay for $795 here. The only link to an actual store (in a different color) that I was able to find was Bergdorf Goodman.

my all-time favorite purse

For over a year now I’ve been on the search for a new everyday purse. I did receive a few more as bday/anniverary presents from the fiance which I also love but the size/style didn’t work well for an everyday purse that I could bring to work. The main obstacle is packing my wallet, keys, umbrella, lunch, and notebook. I’m too small to carry big purses so it’s always difficult to find one that can fit what I like to carry and not look like a weekend bag.

A few weeks ago I was browsing gilt (I always look but only buy the NYC city deals) and I came across a Rebecca Minkoff sale. I’ve always loved the M.A.C. collection because of the tassels and buckle in the front. After a few rapid kako talks with family/friends I took the plunge on a M.A.C. Daddy in sage.
