Wow! Thanks everyone so much for the nice comments!
MarieG - it is surprisingly roomy - I carry the wristlet, a huge wallet, normal "cosmetic" type stuff in the main compartment and keep my cell in one of the outside pockets for easy access, even though there's plenty of room for it inside. I also use the front and back pockets for my keys and sunglasses.I think it's a great size for an everyday bag.
