My first "handbag"...

I won't reveal all the details (that might be to humiliating) but there has been a hang bag search going on around here. Trips to stores, internet research (doesn't everyone do that?). All in search of deals. My sisters have all made a purchase (even my Mom). I have been wanting to join in but anyone who knows me knows that I like to bargain hunt. I like nice things, I really do but I like deals more. I usually have the ability to get deals on anything I buy, in fact I consider that half of the fun of buying.

So today a few stars aligned and the girls and I headed over and purchased my first nice purse. All the credit goes to my little sister who did most of the searching and helped me find my deal and the perfect bag for me. Can you tell I am in love already?

For more Wordy Wednesday's go here...

Oh jealous! I've always wanted a real Coach bag...I have a knock off...because in the end, I'm cheap ;)

Stephanie said...

It's beautiful! Coach leather is like butter soft - love them! I have two, but they are both the fabric bags. I would NEVER buy one myself, unless like you, found a good deal. Mine were gifts from my wonderful hubster!

Nice bag! I need a new bag, too. Bags are one item I never mind shopping for.

Love the bag!

Why does your child have a tag on them? Is that the deal you got - swapping a child for the bag?

Hahahahaha!

Jenn said...

I've been on the hunt too. good luck to both of us!

Jaime said...

I'm way too cheap to own a bag like that!! Not that it doesn't look awesome, because it does....I'm just cheap.
LOVE your new look around here. Do you make your layouts yourself?

Once you go for the good stuff you will never wanna go back. :)

It is very cute!! You will love for a long time.

Lovely bag, Laura! Congratulations!

Cookie said...

I totally agree. Getting a new purse requires lot of research. It's hard to find a keeper!

Yes, it's a beauty, I'm in love with it too. You better watch out though, at the rate those twins are going they might be next. After all they have Guess bags already :p

Oooooohhhh, what a lucky girl you are!

Mike and Shelby said...

I've found that a good purse is a must for any mommy! I have one of those seatbelt bags, but it's the big one cause it usually doubles as a diaper bag. LOVE IT!

And it's plum colored, I think my ♥ just skipped a beat! Lucky girl.

Sarah Correia said...

Ohhh love it...I just bought a new coach bag myself! Unfortunately it's to nice to use...so it just sets on my closet shelf...lol

Sara said...

Love love love your new handbag. Even better when you got a deal on it!!
It needs a strict warning label - no sippy cups, fruit snacks, gum, or anything else that is "messy" is allowed to touch it.

That is so lovely!!!! I am a purse freak. But I change purses so often I get mine at Goodwill. The one in the upscale part of of my town has Nine West and names like that so I just go buy them in like new condition for $3.38, use them for a month or so (I change them often!!) and then re-sell them on Craigslist. maybe I just have not found the right purse yet or I'd stick with one. Maybe when the twins are older.

I am so excited for you. This is a beautiful handbag. A great handbag is all a girl need...accept for a good pair of designer jeans and sunglasses to go with:)
