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)? 🙂

This week, I fell mindlessly into my phone more than I think I ever have. My screen time went from 3.5 hours per day to 5 hours per day. But the increased eye strain did lead to some good finds. Just going to leave this right here.  (I really need to work on “Didn’t make […]

The Find: A Striped Tee

Without question, the most worn item in my wardrobe is a black-and-white striped tee. I wear it in winter under sweaters, in spring with white jeans, in summer with black shorts. I’ve been wearing the same one for years (it’s the best). But they don’t make it anymore. So here are some options for replacement.
