Thanks everyone for your input! After some more thought and considering your opinions, I am leaning towards Speedy 30 Azur~ she would definitely make a beautiful summer bag since I'm down in SC. Then I could save my mono Speedy for the fall & winter months, alternating with my Petit Noe. Since I've allotted myself $700 towards the bag, then I'm going to give myself about another $450 to play with. Should I get a couple of little things, like another bandeau and maybe a small piece like a mini pochette? Or should I go for something a little bigger like a zippy coin purse? I'd like something to hold credit cards and cash, but can't splurge on a regular size wallet yet, not with the other stuff. Also, what pattern should I pick? More ideas and suggestions please! It will be a month or two before I do my shopping, but I'm one who likes to plan ahead & decide what to get before I get there (that way I resist temptation!) :devil:
