It's my grandma's fault. And both my great aunts. They had the cutest handbags! And now I'm obsessed with vintage-style purses.

I always love a good basket-style purse, and ohhh, how I adore a nice top metal clasp. *Click* Sigh. And don't get me started on boxy purses or old luggage. Swoon!

Currently, I'm looking for a casual purse that will fit my camera (I take it everywhere), wallet, and new iPhone. I'd love a nice color like the emerald green one above, but I really love grey this season too. So I'm keeping my eye out for just the right one.

And while I love to scour flea markets and eBay for such handbags, life does not always allow the time (not my daylight life anyway). I like to keep an eye out online too.
