My most used bag is definitely the disco that I got almost exactly a year ago. And my most fun would be the rattan bag Taitai recommended. I got a lot of use and a lot of compliments with that one over the summer.

My Kate Spade arrived and I love it! So cute. It's been a long time since I've had an actual handbag. Usually I either throw everything into a large unorganized tote, or keep it super minimal and use only my coat pockets. I'm excited to have something in-between. (I give up. I don't know why tapa is rotating my pics and making them sparkly, but it's annoying.)

As an aside, I complimented a college friend on her Bottega Pouch. We got to talking and she now works for a very big fashion person. Not influencer. Like , fashion boss. She told me her boss says this is the it fashionista bag of the moment. I like it, but I wouldn’t buy it. Not practical for me. Salma Hayek looks amazing. I checked out her IG and even in selfies her face looks perfect. I want her doctor's number. The bag is cute too.

My favorite bag is my Strathberry Midi tote since that was really the only big bag purchase this year, but it's so soft and I just love it. My most used bag is either the Madewell Transport tote (usually what I take to work) or my Madewell simple black crossbody (take it to amusement parks, sporting events-just holds my phone, card case, and glasses).

That clear Staud bag was all over last summer but I’m kinda loving their other stuff. I’ve had my eye on this one for quite some time. Maybe a spring purchase....

I LOVE the look of the BV, and continually lust over them, but I know I would hardly ever use it.
Most used: (other than my work bag) a Tod's crossbody that fits everything I need
Most loved: A clutch I inherited from my grandmother who recently passed. It was her mother's clutch and was a wedding gift when my great grand parents were married.

My most used bag is a disco. It’s just easy and great for everyday. My favorite fancy bag is prob my beige Chanel jumbo flap. I have never regretted splurging on that bag for a second.I saved forever so I could purchase a Chanel when I got my first real job. At first I felt so guilty for the purchase, but as time has gone on I'm so happy that I did. I love it so much, and every time I use it it brings me so much joy.

It feels silly but they do appreciate and, God, I love them. I have told this story before but I was on a waiting list for this specific one for years. I saved money in an account for it and then I stopped working. So when they called me, I was like on 20 waitlists so it was an out-of-state store, I Bought it over the phone, unseen and they shipped it to me. Some friends were like, “damn! That’s a gift!” To MH and MH was just, “don’t look at me, she’s had some secret Chanel account for 4 years.” Never regretted it.

Ok ladies. I need a travel bag tote that will not break the bank. And I mean budget. Thinking of something like the Longchamp large Pilage but I really do not want to spend more than $50-$100. It's strictly for airports. I realized I don't have a bag for this purpose anymore. Zip top preferably. Recs?

Hi, I’m new and i’ve got a “Help me shop!” for ya:-) I need ideas for a new bag, the budget is 2k and I’m open to all brands. I’m really loving the Gucci flora line right now because it looks fun, yet I’m also feeling like maybe I want a top handle bag. About me: my last bag purchase was a LV monmonogram neverfull GM and my bag collection ranges from Chanel flap bags to random leather totes. Thanks! How about this Burberry? Comes in several colors, in budget, detachable/ adjustable shoulder strap. us.burberry.com/the-small-leather-triple-stud-belt-bag-p80232561I tried this on and hated it. So flimsy

I liked the longchamp EXCEPT for the shoulder strap, which I found so uncomfortable.

I find it super light, except when it was stuffed with books and iPads as a carryon to Europe. Its a really nice crossbody size. I seriously wore it for everything.

They have many styles to choose from.

My longchamps falls off my shoulder constantly. Maybe it’s my shoulders.

I just got the large size of the tote and it is surprisingly light weight. I was worried about that too.
