And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer.” ― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

I've been trying to find a summer purse that I can invest in, and use for half the year, that won't break my shoulder. Designer bags are so well made, and the hardware is gorgeous and sturdy, but damn are they heavy & I hate that. Also, I prefer smaller purses since I only carry a wallet, phone, keys, and Chapstick. I was hoping some of you could throw me suggestions before I make a silly purchase (although I'm not known for doing that, regardless). Below are a few I've had my eye on this week...

Marc by Marc Jacobs - Intergalocktic Leather Cosmos Bag // Theyskens' Theory - Vala Messenger Bag // Marc by Marc Jacobs - Classic Q Pixie Handle Bag

3.1 Phillip Lim- Pashil Messenger // Cambridge Satchel // Lauren Merkin - Iris Polished Lizard Bag

  Tory Burch - Robinson Bag // Alexander Wang - Brenda Chain Purse // Rachel Zoe - Kate Tote

I love all of them, but I'm pulling towards the Theyskens' and A.Wang Brenda. I'd like the Brenda or the Mini Rocco in a light grey, but I haven't found them anywhere.

Anywho, I'm off to buy my bridesmaid shoes for my cousin's wedding (hopefully I will be lucky!)- I'm so excited for July 14th. Eeeeek! Have a magnificent weekend, everyone. :D
