A new love.

I've never been the type of girl to use a small bag, ever. The smallest bag I've ever carried was when I first started using purses in probably 6th grade, when I thought I was a diva for using a Coach handbag...which was inevitably stolen later that year...(my 6th grade heart still breaks....)

ANYWAY...
Something wild is changing within me because these past few summer weeks I've been so sick of lugging around my Le Pliage Large Longchamp bag. I never thought I'd say that. I almost feel bad for saying that because that bag is like a child to me. I call her champy..


And now I'm actually insane..


But it's been way to hot in New York to carry the ridiculous amount of stuff I do on a daily basis. In reality, I only need a few things in a bag, but when you have the room to put an extra this or that, it adds weight to a large bag...like my champy...

I found love in a hopeless place. I see Forever21 as jungle and when I actually find something that is in good condition, and good quality, I see it as a saving grace sent from the heavens above.  And this love is good. She is beautiful, and you would never think from the quality, and construction stand point that this little light of mine, was only $25.


On the website it's listed  as the 
" Basket Woven Crossbody" bag. It's $24.80, and worth about triple that. It's constructed beautifully, and for me it is a bit small, comparatively to every other bag I've owned, but it's not actually that small.

Isn't she cute?

It's not a secret that I'm a bigger girl to, so for me to recommend a small bag is out of this world for me. I was actually always afraid to carry a smaller bag, because I didn't want it to get lost against my frame. This looks classy, and is a perfect size for anyone.

I'm planning on doing a what's in my bag this week, so keep your eyes open to see what I actually fit in my new purse.

What do you like to carry in the summer?
Do you stick with a small bag, or go for a larger tote?
Let me know!
Until then,
-K.
