The Handbag
Handbags are my weakness. I don't buy every one I see, but I do have lust in my heart!
While I have a few small clutches, the handbags I love the most have room for everything and anything I might need in a day: my planner, a hairbrush, make-up for touch-ups, fragrance, a file or two, and a bottle of water. My dream bag has pockets to separate everything. And it doesn't have to be leather, but it does have to have style.
I'm always adding to the info on this page, so check back! And please leave a message in the guest book at the bottom of this page.

The Funky Bag
I'm of a certain age, so I remember cutting off the legs of a pair of worn out jeans, sewing up the leg openings, popping on a length of jean material from the legs for the strap, and making it into a bag. This bag on the left is the grown-up version of that. Available at Funky Handbags
This Nick & Nora defines funky style for me. It's a two-bag set (handbags & cosmetic bag)for $38. The handbag has a compact on the outside. It can be purchased from Funky Chunky Handbags
