Cheating

I never thought I'd admit this but I've been cheating. It's something I never thought I'd do because I'm a very loyal person. I've come to realize that maybe I'm just not the one bag girl I thought I was. Here's the object of my new obsession:



Fab, no? It's a Lexie Barnes McCoy in the leopard print. I'd often seen the Lexie Barnes bags but the price point was a bit high for me. When I saw this bag marked down from $189 to $70 I couldn't get my credit card out of my wallet fast enough. It's a weekend bag which is what I usually prefer because I carry a lot of stuff with me. Also, I can use it to pack up stuff when we go to the country on the weekends. That's what I tell Glenn anyway to justify buying yet another bag. It's got two hand straps plus a shoulder strap just like the Laguna, which I prefer. It's very big and roomy with lots of space for everything I schlep around Manhattan. I really like it a lot and will have to keep my eyes open for more Lexie Barnes sales. The Darling looks like a great smaller bag which I could use because all of my bags are bigger bags.
The guilt from buying a bag other than Namaste has finally faded and I've come to realize that I can buy any bag and love them all equally.
