So I bought a new purse today and I have to admit, it looks absolutely ridiculous. BUT I LOVE IT! It looks like a toaster with a bow on it. haha!
What kind of purse do you ladies have?

I have eight or nine Kathy Van Zeelands, a couple of Guess?s, a Sak, a Relic, one XOXO, and about a handful of other random ones that I still need for practicality and/or outfit matching.
I just realized my shoe fetish has a companion.
KVZ and Guess are my favorites, due to the interesting finishes, textures, and designs.

I have a few Tula ones. We call them handbags here, a purse is what you put your cash and cards into. Weird how we have so mnay different words for the same things!

lol this is SO not the correct place for this, but the different words things reminds me of it. When my sister first moved to England she was having a lot of issues with the word differences. Apparently (please correct me if i'm wrong), but "pants" are trousers and underwears is "pants". She was running through the rain to get into a store and he pushed her so she stepped into a puddle. When they got inside she said "now my pants are all wet thanks to you" and some guy next to them really gave her a funny look because she should have said her TROUSERS were wet.

I have an item that is flat and I sometimes put money in it, I call it a 'pocketbook' and I stick it into my 'handbag' which hangs from my shoulder. then I stick all that into my 'tote' which is a large and messy thing, but looks nice (from the outside). I have about a million handbags, and I buy them without regard for practicality or style. Then I ruin them (or my doggie eats them) and I give them to my baby cousins, who adore them.

Pants can legitimately mean either trousers or underwear. It might depend on what part of the country. Where I'm from, pants would usually mean trousers. We say 'knickers' for underwear :-)' Somewhere in this section there's a thread on 'translation', you'll get a good chuckle from that!

I was also told that people say Nick for stealing something. So my favorite thing to ask my sister was "don't let someone nick you knickers in the loo" lol
I L-O-V-E purses, handbags, wallets, totes, etc, etc. Anything I can put junk in to carry around. Some really stylish ones I think is ugly, some I find great knockoffs at walmart. I'd probably trade my good ovary for a Coach (i love their style). lol I'm almost as in love with purses as I am with shoes.

I have an entire closet dedicated to purses and shoes! I loove coach, michael kors, juicy, gucci, you name it! Then with the shoes, you have to have matching belts - then jewelry... the list goes on! Shopping is endless, and I love it! I'm not a fan of shopping with other girls, simply because I go into a store with what I want in mind.

I agree, I feel like when I shop with other people your either trying to keep up, or holding them back. I like to go by myself because I can spend 45 minutes trying to decide between 3 pairs of shoes, and 10 seconds scanning the clothes and nobody will be irritated.

All I need to complete my collection: A white one, and a blue one. Anything else I have goes with everything I wear, so I'm good.
I recently told my mom that I didn't need anymore shoes, and she nearly fainted from shock.

Wow, y'all put me to shame. Living up here, style and shopping sort of take on new meaning... I actually used to be nuts about shopping, shoes, dresses,accessorizing, now I just buy tons of makeup online and feel guilty about that. You'd all laugh if you saw how we dress up here.... but my skin looks good.... LOL

I have a lot of handbags, totes, clutches, just bought 2 saddlebag type bags from Mango so they look small but carry a lot of stuff! I dunno if it's the same up North Helen but atm here, the bigger the clutch the better, so it then becomes pretty impractical for a night out!

I love handbags, purses, cluthes whatever you call them I collect them. It started in 6th grade. At that time my mom had very little money raising 3 daughters and I asked for a Liz Claiborne purse. At the time it was a huge deal. From there my habit formed. My mom got me the purse and I was addicted since. I started with Liz and have went thru many brands, Coach, Burberry, Prada but now I am addicted to Brahmin bags. They are a Ameican company and I get a new one each season. I also of course buy off brand too. If I like it I buy it. If it is unique and I have not seen anyone with it even better. My problem with the brand bags are that you see them every where I need something different. I shop at alot of small botique shops and find the cutest stuff. Shoes I collect those too and stoped counting. My husband says the closet looks like a shop LOL! Jewelry is another item that I have a large addiction too. Oh I could go on forever..... www.brahmin.com/ Great handbags, clutches, wallets:)
