Thank you. The bag is so great. I really love the versatility of the berry color. It really goes with everything.

I know. The bag is very decieving. It doesn't look very big, but it holds so much. I really love the color and style. The accessories just kinda fell together like that. Now I need to get a new capasity wristlet and mini skinny in the plum patent. Plum, berry, magenta, I love them all.

The case that I have my cell phone in is a Vera Bradley zip id case. The pattern is Mod Floral Pink. I love it. Vera Bradley is another weakness. It just goes so well together and I can fit the phone in perfectly. It has clear window on the front for your drivers license but I have my kids photo in it.

I've been away from the forums for awhile...lurking a bit here and there, but I wasn't crazy about the summer line AND I was trying to avoid temptation. Seeing everyone's pretty bags makes me want to spend $$$$! :-D

Since it's ALMOST fall (at least on the calendar) I thought I'd switch back into my beloved '06 Legacy Shoulder Bag. I carry my large camel Ergo tote to work every day, and I've been overstuffing it to the point that it's killing my neck and shoulder, so I thought I might size down a little bit...

Contents:
Sig Stripe wristlet (makeup, tissues, etc.)
Grace sunglasses
Legacy foldover wristlet used as a wallet (and I can slip my phone in and use it as a clutch)
My brand new iPhone 3G <3 and earbuds
Meds, multi-tool, inhaler and retractable iPod cord
6x8 Planner (with a custom Circa insert that I designed!), Moleskine, pen, and keys

Here's a pic of the inside of my planner...I didn't really like the Coach insert very much so I created a Circa planner insert using forms from diyplanner.com. It turned out exactly like I wanted and I'm VERY happy with it!

Thanks! I used Circa rings and my Circa punch from Levenger (levenger.com) and 5x8 notecards--they are a PERFECT fit, and I got 500 of them at Office Depot for $10. I cut a piece of plastic for the back part that I slid into the planner itself. I'm kind of an office supply junkie too, heh. I may try to get some thicker weight paper (but thinner than the notecards) cut down to 5x8 just so I can fit more pages in. If you have any questions when you make yours, feel free to PM me. I am quite proud of my handiwork.

Yes we can cram alot it those Ergo totes cant we?
I have back pain and the doctor told me to stop carrying a heavy purse on my shoulder. So which ever one I am using, I carry in my hand and I am trying to limit what I carry, but we need these things. I have to carry my diabetes supplies and my pain meds for my back. I carry very little makeup, just a compact and a couple of lipglosses. My purse is still heavy,
my father in law weighed it the other day and it was 8 pounds and that was after I took things out,LOL

Love the way you did the planner.
I just bought the 2009 refill and I started using it, but I am going to book mark that site for the future.

Wonder what I can fit in my 2007 Legacy Shoulder bag?

how well do the circa rings hold the paper? is it secure? and also what size is your planner? would this work for a 4x7?

chazzy · Sep 5th, 2008, 11:05 AM

Can somebody post medium sabrina leather in this thread please...
TIA

divajess · Sep 5th, 2008, 01:25 PM

The Circa rings hold the planner beautifully...I have no problems at all. I like using Circa stuff so much better than ring binders, which I've always had problems with breaking, not lining up correctly, opening, jacking up my paper, etc.

I would assume it could be worked up in a 4x7 version...I have the 6x8 planner and the insert for it measures in at 5x8, so I wonder if the 4x7 planner insert measures 4x6? The 5x8 was easy to do just because there were index cards of that size readily available, but lI'm thinking of getting paper cut down to 5x8 just because the index cards are a tad bulky. Really, if you have a Circa punch you can make notebooks (or whatever) in just about any size!

I am also thinking about seeing if I can get smaller Circa rings...I can't remember if the size I have are medium or small, and I think smaller might work a tad bit better.

Cute bag and goodies. I hope it's still around in the Mahogany when I'm ready to purchase it.

ITA on how lite it is...when you carry it you hardly know it's there. Much lighter than my HS tote but I love that one, too

I paid $94 for it because it was the last one at my store and marked down 65%...so I got a great price on it and it sounds like you did also! Yay for great Coach deals
