Purses
 

So I need to start carrying around a purse again. I was just carrying a wallet and had my car key inside, but since we got a new car my keys are too big. Any suggestions on great purses? Bonus points if you can fit a diaper and wipes in there!

Tracyjoy! Lol! Her bags are camera bags AND diaper bags. She's got a whole bunch of cute ones.

ahhh my addiction

I go back and forth, I have some really good bags (a Dooney ad Bourke and a Juicy Couture) that I love... but I also love my bags from Target too! LOL! I tend to like to change mine often, so I'm usually content with some that is cute, will stay on my shoulder, and that hides stains... LOL!

You beat me to it!

Right now my purse, cell phone holder and wallet are all Vera!

I got my black leather one at Bentley on sale for $14.99! It has a lot of pockets and space but doesn't look that huge. I can hold wipes, a few diapers, my cell phone, wallet, keys, makeup, kleenex and a sippy cup in it!

I love D&B!
I also have a weakness for Coach...I carry purses for a long time so I don't feel bad splurging every once in awhile on a expensive purse.

I don't really use purses anymore. So, I'll be watching this thread with interest.

I just got a Kenneth Cole barrel purse at Nordstrom Rack and I love it! :thumbup: It was half price and got LOTS of room.

I'm like Shannon. I carry purses for a long time, so I just splurged on a Coach. Love it!

wow... you guys are girly...

Love that one!

I'm a Fossil girl myself :) Their quality is superb! I've had Coaches, but the Fossils actually are nicer and cheaper, so I'm sticking with them now.

I have some Vera right now (java blue!) Wallet, Diaperbag, Key Fob, and I also have it in the tote when I'm not using a diaper bag

I have a few coaches too..I normally carry bags for awhile so I don't mind splurging either (DH does though haha) I had the squiggle coach diaper bag with Ryleigh but I had to wash it all the time...I like the Vera much more!

oh I need a purse too! I'm still carrying around a Lands' End small diaper bag that I use as a purse. I like it b/c it has exterior bottle pockets that I use for water bottles. I always have a bottle of water with me.

My ideal bag

• zips closed
• does not have black interior
• has exterior bottle pocket
• is lightweight
• has straps long enough that I can wear it across my body

I'm thinking of maybe getting one from Baggallini but none of them are quite what I want. Close but not quite perfect.

I guess I'm more into function than fashion :p.

I love those Vera bags!!! I may have to get one!!!

I love my Coach bags. They last FOREVER. I have one I use 90% of the time. A nice big one in solid black leather. It was my "I'm an adult and have a real job with a real paycheck now so I better get an adult purse" purchase when I graduated college and started working :p I STILL get compliments on it! Lol!

No suggestions for you as I've never needed a diaper bag.

I tend to walk the line between teenybop and adult with my purses, and the more unusual, the better, so I buy most of my purses at Penney's or Target. I don't think I've ever spent more than $40 on a purse since I like to change purses at least 2x a year with the seasons. 'Boring' plain black/brown purses like the ones described above just do nothing for me.

I think it's only fair that I get to dress up and be cutesy with the only two things I can wear in regular size on my body: purses and shoes. :p

i love purses too, but mine are always fashion over function. i love fossil's too! hmmm...i'm really no help.

p.s. bryn, your out of control and i love it!

I love Vera Bradley. I have several of her purses in different patterns. I like the criss cross tote right now. Very roomy, but not too big.

I'm loving that TracyJoy site. I want one of her camera bags. but i don't want to pay $70, lol. i love her bags, though so its tempting. i'm a 'get more for less' kinda gal; bargain shopper.

Corey I bought the Kristine bag and got a camera strap and key fob to match :p I'm baaaaaad, lol!!

For purses, I'm a huge fan of the fabric Fossil bags. You can't get them at the Fossil stores or website--they're only available at department stores. (Macy's has a lot of them.) They come in a variety of styles and sizes, last well, have lots of pockets, and have non-black interiors. I have a tiny one that I carry when I'm out by myself and a medium sized one that I sometimes use as a diaper bag. (Correction: I used to use it as a diaper bag before DS2 started using sippy cups that leak all over. Now I'm stuck with 'real' diaper bags that have exterior bottle pockets or everything I carry gets wet. For a real diaper bag I love the Lands End Little Tripper that was mentioned earlier. It's not being made right now, but I was told it would be back in the near future.)

I'm obsessed with Coach as well. They're really great quality and last forever, so I can somehow justify the cost. Those Vera purses are looking pretty nice. lol
