I had thought that 2009 would be the year that I acquire a practical leather purse, like a real, grown-ass woman. However, it is currently 3.05 pm on December 12, 2009, and, thus far, I am sans beautiful handbag. Perhaps I'm still a few years out from genuine womanhood and pursehood? Maybe I just think tote bags are way awesomer?
What I really, really, really want is a Fjallraven Kanken backpack in Uncle Blue or Purple (OR BOTH!?), but that seems about a thousand steps in the wrong direction in terms of sophistication.
Now, I'm hauling all of my shit around in this Sanna Annukka tote from Rachel. At first, I wasn't particulary jazzed about it; it was all bright and website-bearing and big. But, since, the silkscreen has faded a bit, and it's grown on me.I'm also pretty madly in love with the following:
Pocket Tote in Glacier, Shabd(I also still desperately want one of her leotards, but that's a conversation for another day.)
Black Rose Army Tote Bag, Lover
Hand-Printed Tote Bag, Mociun + CorwinMaybe I should just get all of them and wear them all together at the same time. Everyday. Forever.
Why not yell it off the rooftops: 'I love a good tote bag! I'm not refined enough for a real lady-purse!'?
Or, maybe this is the answer: A HYBRID MUFF-MITT-PLAID-CLUTCH-PURSE-AWESOME-THINGY from Rachel Comey. A jack-of-all-purses, if you will.
Insies.

I KNOW!!!!! I thought this year maybe I'd buy a real live leather bag, and be a real live girl, but I think it's the prices that are preventing that from happening...and I DIG that Rachel Comey muff-in (my new word)! though I'm holding out for one of her bags from next season...if I have $$$ by then.......
and a Shabd leotard is a wise investment!!!
I'm gonna buy myself one of their spandex bike shorts one of these days...haaaah
and I second that: tote bags are awesome
that's what I still carry around, since it's the only thing big enough to carry all of my crap around
dude. that RC mitt/purse is GENIUS.
i know what you mean about getting a big girl bag. i finally bought myself a leather marc jacobs last year with my work bonus. so worth it. although you can get like 30 cute totes for the price of one leather bag....
Oh my god, I LOVE the snake design!!!
Yeah, who am I trying to kid? Tote bags RULE. The End.
