Thanks for all the comments...really, I haven't been able to take my hands off of it. It's very versatile.
mssmelanie, you were right, I was really happy on the plane...although, I felt like such a brat because I carried this big
gucci shopping bag onto the plane...people are probably thinking WTH is with this girl.
wannabelyn, This bag does fit a lot! I have my regular stuff in there, cell phone, wallet, ipod, keys, small cosmetic bag, sunglasses, a banana(just for breakfast this morning), and that only fills up the bottom of the bag. I can also put a lightweight jacket in there folded up and will have a bit of room left.
Chloe, this bag only comes in the beige canvas, with two different color trim, white or brown in both small and big size.
There's a zipper compartment that's pretty big, and inner pockets for cell phone and mp3 player/keys. I'll take a pic carrying it when I get a chance to so you guys can get a good idea of the size.
