I think it's safe to say at this point that most of the gals here know I am a total wh*re when it comes to the shoulder bag . . . I have 3: plum suede, whiskey and pond. Of course, I vote for the shoulder! The whiskey color isn't available anymore, but they do have it in natural (which is tan with a yellowish undertone). I wore my pond one today for the first time and got a lot of compliments on it - it's a more muted and deeper blue than it appears on the website.
