Update: My Shopper Hardware Handbag

So I've been using my Shopper Hardware Handbag for a little over a month. This is a great everyday bag. The three large inside pockets are a major plus. I keep my pens, checkbook, gum, vitamins, loose change, small purchases, and mail in the pockets.

I was quite surprised with how durable yet lightweight this bag is. The stainless steel straps are surprisingly comfortable on my shoulder.

The Shopper easily holds a book, 1 to 3 magazines, a bottle of water, iPod, cell phone, wallet, makeup case, hairbrush, sweater, extra pair of shoes, etc...you get the picture...it holds a lot. I absolutely adore my bag.

The Shopper is great for a long work commute and a carry on when traveling. My Shopper is definitely joining the rest of my top totes and will be in heavy rotation for a long time. Thanks to Allie over at Wardrobe Oxygen for posting about this fabulous and eco-friendly line of bags!

VENT!!!!!!!!!!! So Ready For Spring

There are no words that can describe how sick and tired I am of Chicago's crazy weather. This winter which in my opinion is still going strong (despite the calendar saying Spring has sprung) has been one of the harshest winters. There have been endless cold, dreary and gray days. My love affair with the city has never been that great and I swear if someone were to hand me a one way ticket to Miami, I'd be GONE. I'm over cold, damp, gray days, and the persistent threat of snow. It's freakin' April in another two days!!!! What gives? I want some warm weather, sunshine, and the opportunity to stop wearing my damn down coat!
