I have a number of purses that I "rotate"

For a meeting, work, or if I'm going to be out for the day and need a big bag, I have a Marc Jacobs Stella that I got on ebay--it's actually real!

My standby purse for going out is a black Coach. I also have a brown Louis Vuitton that was a gift (would never spend THAT much myself) and a burgundy Coach satchel style bag.

I also have a couple of "dressy" purses, and of course my backpack for school, a beach bag, and a small backpack I carry to the gym.

There's a new bourdeaux colored bag at Coach that I'm coveting right now...but I don't quite have the $ at the moment...maybe next month!

I usually carry a black Michael Kors bag. I have a number of other ones I use as well, from the 7Euro H&M bag to a Coach.

Just treated myself to a new Bag last night - ARCADIA - it's black patent leather with tan leather trim. It's a good year round bag and it was a bargain at marshalls - love that store!

I usually carry my money and cell phone in my jeans pocket but when I take the time to actually pack my necessities, I use animal backpacks. You know, the ones shaped like teddy bears but have a zipper opening on the back. I have a dog, leopard, frog, Tigger and a pig that I use from time to time.

Immature, maybe but I love 'em!

Gee that sounds familiar!!
Actually mine is a reasonably decent leather, but it was on such a ridiculous sale that it might as well have been cheap Walmart.

As for style, the simpler the better, as long as it has room for change purse, comb, phone, keys -- and lots of times the phone and keys go in a pocket and the purse stays home -- everything else is already in pockets.

Since I've been on disability leave from work, I've been carrying around a black messenger bag the majority of the time when I do go out.

For work, I have a large black leather handbag/briefcase that I carry. Though it's been collecting dust over the past few months.

i'm with ya Meagan, TOTALLY!!!
This is part of my collection...

As you can see, i love bags and purses of all colors. If there's anything i can't have enough of, it'll be my bags and shoes.
*shake it shake it shake it*


And to justify my purchases, all of them are on heavy rotation, so yes....i use them all equally!
(i'd have to keep reminding the husband about that
) He goes
everytime i get a new one

I have a lot, but just use one at a time. I go in the closet once in a while to see which I have forgotten. This is my current favourite, because it has room for a lot of stuff, and is very tough. This photo is corduroy, and mine is a heavy canvas, but the same colour, with a very cool paisley lining. It's made by Fossil.
I like it because the strap is long enough to sling it across my chest, which is very handy for walking around a lot on vacations and shopping.

You mean I have to pick one??? I have at least 15 too. I too am carrying a fake Louis Vuitton speedy in white with colored logos. I also have a black fake Louis with brown logos. I have a huge black purse to carry in the winter so I can stick everything in including lunch, bottled water and my palm pilot to work. I want a new bohemian bag for fall though . I am from the south but never did find Vera's my style. I guess I havent been here long enough. Has anyone seen the new real Louis vuitton with the denim and leather. It is gorgeous!. I need it in Fake.

Happy purse hunting.
