Handbags are a big part of my grownup ‘fewer better things’ philosophy. Instead of stuffing my closet with trendy inexpensive purses, I treat myself to two nice leather bags each year: one at the start of spring, and another when fall comes around.
This season, I’m searching for an everyday carryall in a rich neutral color or sleek black. This Hobo ‘Blaze’ converts from a shoulder bag to a backpack, so it’s the best of both worlds, with a tassel! I just wish it was a smidge bigger so it would fit my laptop, planner, and all the other stuff I schlep to-and-from the flower shop.
These oversized totes and carryalls top my favorites list. And I couldn’t resist throwing in a ladylike backpack.

I found this much useful information. You share the great article with me. I am happy with your blog. Thanks!
[…] I started a tradition of buying 1-2 quality leather bags per year: something fun and colorful in the spring/summer, and a classic neutral carryall in the fall. […]
love them all!!

I, too, am beginning to embrace a quality over quantity philosophy regarding purses and have found that what the purse will hold on the inside is more important than how it looks on the outside. I like the Rebecca Minkoff best.

Nice, classy looking bags. As I’ve gotten older I’ve learned to appreciate the benefits of having just a few expensive bags instead of a ton of cheap trendy ones.
Love the brown Madwell! *heart eyes*
Love the Cuyana one!
Great post ☺
and they’re all soooo pretty!

I’m all for the Madewell one, but they’re all gorgeous! I also love splurging on good handbags.
I am in love with that Rebecca Minkoff! The dark green is unique and gorgeous! Great post!
I love the color of that one, too! I don’t have anything green in my closet, but it’s such a great neutral for fall.
I would go for the Cuyana Small Carryall if I was in your place!
I love everything from Cuyana!
to be honest I didn’t really know this brand until your post ! :/
