Whats in your purse?

I started reading The Small Things Blog a while back. To be honest, I found her on Pinterest. She has become very popular on there for her many hair tutorials. She is a professional hair stylist so her demos and pictures have been pinned a billion times. I love the feel and vibe of her blog so I check it daily often.

This week she is having a series of guest posts on "What's in your purse". I actually love this idea. A lot, to be honest. It's amazing what our purses, inside and out, say about us. Carrying a purse is one of the many reasons it's great to be a woman. It's not only a great accessory but it's awesomely functional when you pick the right one.

My favorite bag is the Coach Hobo I got for my 30th birthday. I had always wanted a REALLY nice bag and mentioned to my family that a combined effort for a Coach bag would be perfect and they did a fabulous job! I have even named her - Coco. She rides in the front passenger seat and NEVER touches the floor. Needless to say, I value this purse like a family member. Since then, I have acquired a few more Coach bags that I love and keep them in rotation as to not wear them completely out.

A few months ago, I ran into a friend that had a great large tote and asked her where she got it. She gave me this great website and I quickly fell in love. There are TONS of bags with great prices and quality. I was wanting a nice bright, colorful tote and was happy when I spotted a large turquoise bag. With a promotional code in hand, I bought it and was pleasantly surprised when it came a few days later and the quality was more than I had expected. I've carried this purse for 2 months straight and it goes with everything. It is roomy enough for all my necessities including my Nook as well as some things for the boy. So to tie this all back in to The Small Things Blog, I am going to share the craziness of my purse and tag a few friends so we can get a peak into their lives.
