89: all grown up

This is my new love.  

Isn’t she beautiful?  Seriously, I don’t think I’ve ever thought a bag was more gorgeous.

She was a saw-her-in-the-window-and-simply-could-not-pass-her-up purchase.

Generally I’m not that much of an impulse buyer, but I had encouragement from a good friend.

I did have a hard time with how much she cost.  I feel I’m all grown up now because I’ve bought an expensive bag.  I don’t think I’ve ever bought any kind of bag before that cost more than like $30.

Are you seeing all that amazing embroidery and the cute bird?

I got her in a Brighton store, which I’ve never even been in before.  And, get this, she’s a registered handbag.  With a serial number and everything.  All that means to me is if she gets dirty in the next 2 years, they’ll clean her…..for free!  That was my big concern with the cream colored canvas, so yay!

Now I wish I could carry her everywhere and I didn’t have to bring a diaper bag half the time…

that is a VERY cute bag! and yes, expensive, but worth it, right?! and hey - you're just doing your civic duty to help support the economy ;)

my husband bought me a $450 coach bag for my first mothers day 4 years ago. it's lovely and i'll have it forever, but sometimes when i carry it i'm more worried about someone stealing the bag than i am about the contents inside of it!

HAHA -- I thought this was going to be a post about your kids!!! Hooray for Mommy putting on her big girl panties! : )

Oh, it's gorgeous!! They've really updated their styles in the last couple of years. Once you see how well it holds up and how great the quality is you'll be addicted! I have several and they've only gotten better over time.

Thanks for sharing with us!

Oh, you lucky girl. That bag is to die for. Carrying it will definitely put some swank in your step. You go girl!

That bag is soooooooooooo great! I love it...and Brighton. They are so great. I have a few jewelry pieces from them but nothing even close to how great that bag is!

You lucky ducky!

So pretty! Just throw a diaper and wipes in and go!

They will clean it for you? Are you serious? Like, for real?

Do they make bathrooms by any chance?

That is adorable! I had no idea that Brighton has canvas bag. I thought everything in that store was leather and covered in silver

Congratulations on your new bundle of joy! You are going to take that to Market so I can spot you across the convention center, right?

I love that they'll clean it for you! It's very cute.
