Fall Purses

You probably know from reading my blog that I don't really have a handbag collection. I get a new one every few years, always black, always large, and it carries everything I own from tupperware for work lunch, my heels for changing into, umbrellas, coats, wallets, make-up bags. You name it. My current Gigi New York bucket bag weighs about 25 pounds and I blame it for all of my shoulder tension. But I can't give it up. I just need to have everything in my bag.

I usually get a new bag when mine starts to look embarrassing and the insides resemble a cow pen more than a handbag. I decided to prowl about ShopBop today for some beautiful new fall bags in mostly not black. I would imagine that these would add some beauty to any fall wardrobe (I'm thinking in creams, pinks, greys for fall).
