You guys are going to think I am crazy, but I found the Cole Haan bag, for $99.20, they have the black, green, and aubergine. OMG!!! Should I get it, I very rarely buy stuff site on seen, especially if I can't return it.
Should I do it? What color?
 
thanks for the tip!

Of course! I spent a miserable weekend walking around on vacation in NYC with TONS in a cute, cheap bag from Target. Had a HUGE red mark on shoulder that turned into a bruise. Lesson learned!!


You all are a bunch of enablers!!! :pout:

I know! SO many bags, little little time (and funds)!! Loving that CH cross body, I'm also lusting after an Alexa....
 
Chicjean, I never even would have thought of that. I'm sorry for your pain, but glad you could relate the experience. :-)

Ok, for real this time. I found the CH Hyde Park messenger, well, the lady at the outlet found it for me in woodbury tan, $120 with all the discounts. I think I'm going to go for it b/c of that price.

Yeah you guys are some enablers, look at how crazy I am going over a messenger bag I've only seen on here, but I've been looking for a messenger since the summer.

Wow what a find! I have one and it's fantastic. Not too heavy and the handle is very comfy on the shoulder. If I saw it for $120 I would snag another one for sure. Congrats!
 
I love that you have a Kindle and an Ipad, folks think I'm crazy that I won't both.

btw, this is an awesome bag. I'll have to keep an eye out.

Here are a couple of photos of my new Fossil laptop messenger at the Denver airport. I really love this bag and I think I can use it as a day bag as well for when I don't need my laptop. It has the following inside:

  • Laptop & Charger
  • Case with other electronics chargers
  • Kindle
  • iPad
  • Large Paperback Book
  • Gum, Mints, Powerbars
  • Case with Pens
  • Cough Drops
  • Digital Camera (in outside snap pocket)
  • Moleskine Notebook
  • Loose Papers folded
This bag has so many pockets that I can't even show them all. It's so well thought out and practical, and I love how it reminds me of an old flight bag. My husband said it looks a little 'Indiana Jones,' which is why I adore it. The shoulder strap is very comfortable and lets me wear it crossbody or as a shoulder bag.
 
I love satchels/convertible bags and almost bought the DKNY quilted satchel a few months ago. However, I ended up with two leather Warehouse satchels that were nostalgic purchases. Warehouse is the UK High Street store where I bought my first really fashionable outfit! I love the traditional satchels, so I'm drooling over that Roots 'school bag'.
 
I've recently fallen in love with my new Dooney small crossbody bag. I wanted this bag in junior high, and now I finally have it! It's tiny but perfect for errands and shopping. I forgot what it feels like to be hands-free!
