Michael Kors Bag!!



Last week (and the week before), I posted asking readers their opinion on which bag to purchase.  I was looking for something that was not too small - enough to fit my essentials, which include my wallet, my Blackberry, lipgloss and sometimes, my camera (especially if I'm covering an event for DelectablyChic!)I finally bought my new purse, a MICHAEL Michael Kors Jetset Chain Shoulder Tote at Holt Renfrew.  My mom gave me a gift card so the total damage to my credit card was $100 less than retail!  Thanks Mom!

(what I'm wearing:  Top from Smartset (XS); Jeans from Allison Izu (size 00/31), shoes are Bernardo (size 5))


As you can see from the first picture, it really isn't that big, a pretty decent size for us petites who want to carry a lot of stuff with us! 

Social Media and Purse Hunt Update

You might have noticed that I've changed things around a little on the site.  I've moved my social media links towards the top of the left sidebar so it'll be easier for readers to find us on Facebook and Twitter.  You can also now follow this blog without having to scroll down towards the middle of the page...

You might remember a week or so ago, I asked readers for their advice on which bag to get.  It seems that over on Twitter, people were leaning towards light grey Mia.  I was all set to buy it this past weekend when LO AND BEHOLD, it was NO LONGER AVAILABLE, at least not in the two Coach stores I went to (hello Eaton Centre and Bloor Street!!).  According to the website, the bags are available in black and brown, but they aren't really colours that I want.  So now, I'm looking at these:

More Coach...

Mia Patent Maggie (graphite and silver is above.  The bag also comes in cranberry and silver as well as leather)

More Coach...

The Mia Patent Carryall is similar to the above, but a little smaller (ever sooooo slightly).  Also comes in leather.

More Coach...

The Madison Leather Convertible Hobo.  Comes in four colours, including "clover leaf".  

What do you think?

Suggest a New Bag for Me!

OK, so I've had this Kate Spade bag for seven years - it's in its last legs and I am looking for something to replace it.  It's for spring/summer use (I have a black bag for winter, which I've had since 2005-2006).  Any suggestions?  I don't want anything too big - I'm not looking for a tote, so under 12" wide is ideal (but not too small!), and it should be dark brown or tan.  Ideally, I'm looking for something no more than $300.  Any suggestions?  Ideally not something from Coach - every woman in Toronto is carrying a Coach bag!
