The incredible Deb Perelman of Smitten Kitchen posted these on Instagram last night and all I could say was SHANA TOVA! (that's Happy New Year in Hebrew) Shana tova to everyone celebrating! May you have a sweet, happy, and healthy new year.

20 Times Friends was Surprisingly Feminist (though I don't find it that surprising from the "Girl Power" decade).

In case you missed it, I bought a shiny new purse.

TGIF!

wear / black handbag

This weekend, while shopping with A's mom, I caved and bought a pretty new bag. I've been wanting/needing a black bag for awhile. I spotted this Vince Camuto Kylie Bag at Saks Off Fifth and it just had to come home with me (after I looked at 40 other bags in a bunch of other stores, of course). The best part of my shiny new bag is that the size limits me from schlepping around too much stuff!  Do you have any go to bags that I should know about?

wear / tan purses

My every day purse for the last two or three years has been my trusty Lands End canvas tote (red and natural, medium, zip top, and monogrammed of course). I love the bag and it holds everything (and more) that I need. But lately I’ve been feeling like it’s not the most grown up bag for work. I will probably wait to invest in a nice leather bag, but in the meantime I wanted to share the bags I have my eye on:

Which is your favorite? Any other suggestions?
