I'm bad.

Today, I had a little run in with Michael.

Kors, that is.

Damn you, Macy's, for sending me a 20% EVERYTHING-EVEN-BIG-EXPENSIVE-DESIGNERS-FOR WHOM-I-HAVE-AN-EXTRAORDINARY-WEAKNESS coupon.

I swear, I walked by all of the moderately priced purses Macy's had to offer.  I tried to make myself like the fake-leather bags.  I really did.  I just couldn't stop thinking about you, MK.  Or the 20% coupon I had in my wallet.

So, I bought this.  Say hi to my European travel companion.

Some may not be a fan, but I lurve this bag.  It's big, it's classic, and it's leather.  I needed a professional looking/stylish bag for work and travel.  Purses are an investment for me.  I still have my first Coach that I bought when I was 18.  I keep them forever, and I hope to have this pretty for a long time, too.  Trust me, I'm cheap about a lot of things, but when it comes to purses, I splurge invest.

...I invest, even though I always get shoppers guilt.  Then, I spend about 2 hours justifying my decision to myself and anyone who will listen.  Sound familiar to anyone?  Are you a guilty shopper?  Anyone else love buying purses?!  Let's be buddies.

    Do you watch Project Runway? Last week he went into the work room where they make their outfits for the runway and he gave great tips to them...I have to say I like him better when he is nice to them then when he is a judge! Any way...Love the bag, looks like a great travel bag and a great investment! I love purses too...right now Im on a Vera Bradley kick! LOL! I know its not everyones style!

    PS I love scrapbooking and sometimes I spend too much at the scrapbooking store...one time I spent over $100 and I kept telling myself I needed the things I bought!

    PS...Men do it too when they buy their little gadgets and their big screen tvs and games for the Wii!

    @D. Marie: I've never watched Project Runway, didn't even know he was on that show! Vera bags are so cheerful, it's hard to hate on them! I had the green apple tote when I was a freshman in college.

    @Jessica: I LOVE the Coach outlet. It's dangerous!

    I love that purse! I usually have run in's with Kate of "Kate Spade". At least once a year. My credit card hates me.

    Girl, I am your purse partner in crime! It is the one thing I tend to never hold bag on... and I am totally justifying the purchase of that bag for you! It's gorgeous! MK makes such quality pieces, you will have it forever! Wear and enjoy!
