Even if I don't achieve my 12x12 goal, my shopping habits have changed. I'm spending much less and am being much pickier. Unfortunately, my black booties did not work out at all. As a consolation prize, this little cutie came into my life.

I've been wanting a white or cream colored purse for a while, but I've been torn because I knew it wouldn't be my everyday purse, so I didn't want to spend much, but I know white vinyl looks bad fast. Yesterday I had 15 minutes to kill before school pickup and the only nearby store was goodwill. My heart raced when I found her on the rack. It's not quite the deal of the century because the authentic coach stamp had not gone ignored by the pricer. I got it for $40, which I would have easily spent for a plastic cousin.

I have the hardest time finding bags with gold toned hardware. That's my favorite part, the leather looks great and the brass feels aged. I'm smitten!
