Hello Everyone, I’m Yasmin and new at this, but I’ve found the comments completely enjoyable. So, I’m not sure what is right or wrong to say, but worrying about such things really isn’t my style.So a little bit of me — I LOVE BAGS — not just any type of bags, like eBay bags, you know the type oversized assistants carry around the office… but designer bags. I collect them. Currently I have Balenciaga, Yves St Laurant, Fendi, Gucci, the list goes on, but I suppose I should save something for future posts. Did I say I collect them? Uhm, technically the man that my New York Marriage License says is my husband (but I can swear he is really married to his mother… and living a double life… but anyway that drama is for a different blog) — what was I saying? Yes, bags — he purchases them, after I point them out…bag lady

I try not to use them much… mostly ’cause honestly, a $3,500.00 bag with a $5 pair of sunglasses… really doesn’t look CUTE walking up 5th Avenue to go to work… HEY… not even walking in the street for that matter. Although I have been known to do just that. Bags are such an obsession in my life, when times are tough… SoftPac toilet paper for 99 cents at the nearest Bodega… will do justice AS LONG AS I HAVE MY BAGS.

I don’t know how anyone carries those big cumbersome bags! I think they look ridiculous. but that’s just me I guess, I’m not a bag person. I possess only a handfull and I they are all black. The ones I use for work hold all the accoutrements I need and going out I take the smallest one I can find, just enough room to hold some lippy and essentials. I like ones with a little strap so that I can feck it over my shoulders rather than having to carry on my arm!

Well to answer Trinity’s question….Those that would say that big bags are cumbersome and ridiculous usually are the ones that have smaller bags. Also have nothing to put in them. They usually settle for the more INexpensive ones, which in this case would be the smaller ones….you know the knock-off ones….the ones people sell at the corner of 5th Avenue while looking out for the cops…or like I said the EBayers…..Did you ever hear the saying, “Show me what bag you use, and I’ll tell you who you are.”…..Payless…uses it as propaganda….Check it out…www.payless.com….I’m sure their bags will be perfect for you…..

All I need to put in them is my purse and my lippy and a few essentials that I need to carry for work, camera, maps etc. I don’t like to carry ‘the kitchen sink’ around with me per se :) the small bags I do possess are designer in fact. I don’t need an akward looking thingy to make a statement! :)
It is really each to their own and it really is down to one’s own personal taste
