My 10 Best Purchases: No. Seven

Oct 23, 2018

It seems like most women are on the hunt for a big bag that will hold almost anything and everything.  But what if a smaller bag, with great organization, could be the answer to your travel, weekend, and night-out purse needs.

I bought this pink Mackage Rubie bag to carry when I travel.  It seemed too small to be useful for anything else, but boy, was I wrong.  Within a month after buying the bag, I was carrying it pretty much everywhere.

I loved it so much that I upgraded to the crossbody size, the Keeley.  Like the Rubie, it’s divided into two compartments with a separate card case built in, so you don’t need a wallet.  And unlike the Rubie, it will comfortably hold a larger cell phone, like the 8 Plus.

The interesting thing about owning a small bag that you really love is that you start pairing down your daily must-haves to the bare essentials.  This bag, with it’s adorably chic arrow clasp and structured shape, made me a minimalist.

    Would you consider doing a “What’s in my bag” post? I always find it interesting to see what other people carry on a daily basis.

    Just want to say that I’m loving this series – thanks for doing this!

    I love the Keeley’s size, compartments, and built-in card holder! Unfortunately, my budget is closer to $150. Anyone have recommendations for a similar bag that’s budget-friendly? TIA!

    Is this big enough for a laptop (a big, corporate one – not a sleek ultrabook)? 🙂

My dark under eye circles have been the bane of my existence since I was 12. Is the cause lack of sleep? Dehydration? Sinus issues? Stress? Who the hell knows. But there they are, every day, telling the world that I am an exhausted working Mom.

Saw It On Social: The Battle of the Spendy Swimsuits

Sloane loves the pool. She jumps from the deck into the water with a crash, never considering her own safety, only to emerge on the surface, shouting “Again!” The pool is my daughter’s happy place. But no place where I need to wear a swimsuit in public is a happy one for me.

The Mondays: July 22, 2024

The Crowdstrike/Microsoft Meltdown forced me to take a few days off this weekend. No laptop. No billable hours. So we packed Sloane up for a visit to a local llama farm, stopped by the pool, went for coffee, etc. Few things are as funny as watching a 23-month old feed carrots to a ravenous rescue […]
