OOOOhhhh. OOOOOOHHHHHH. Daddy, I want THIS for Christmas!

YUMMY! Two-tone leather classicness from Fossil.

Loving this combo. Sort of hippie girl chic.

Isn’t this gorge for spring/summer or for you girls in warmer climes?
It costs $188, so it’s NOT happening but if it had a longer strap, I would be whimpering softly in the night for want of it. An 8″ drop makes me too much of an armpit warmer for me in a coat, but for you slimmer birds without the hamhock upper arms, this could be a classic addition to your professional wardrobe.
I just looked at the photos again and…. *whimper, whimper.* I would go with the first one if I had my druthers. However, since the bag has no exterior pockets, we can’t go steady. I need a quick access pocket for my phone. EVERY bag should have at least one exterior pocket.

ARMPIT WARMER! I am laughing so hard. Perfect description of those not-short/not-long bag handles. Hates them.
I cannot claim that myself! It came from L’il Flava, who used it to describe those ridiculous little Coach bags that tuck right under the arm…
I agree about the necessity of the outer pocket on a purse. A must!
Love your blog and thankful for you and your ministry to all of us!!
I prefer my bags without external pockets, thank you! (Although a zippered one flush with the bag itself may be useful. Sometimes.)
I want one…in black…with slightly longer handles…”sigh”
And, since more than a few of us find ourselves getting 1/2 of our walking miles in airports, I say every bag needs an exterior strap/sleeve that makes sliding it onto rolling luggage handles easy. And, yes, of course, the exterior pocket. A very different bag, but here’s one that does it well, to my eye: http://www.ebags.com/product/nuo/chloe-dao-for-nuo-156-laptop-satchel/146830?productid=10008669&rlid=detail&rcode=res11111116480186202786949##
