I found my new carryall in a place I least suspected it. Okay, maybe I wasn’t completely shocked [because I love this store with all my heart] but I was definitely pleasantly surprised. Target. You read right. TARGET.

I’m a bit of a snob when it comes to bags. I like quality. I like superior details. I like Louis Vuitton. If I do buy an inexpensive number it’s at least a brand name at TJ Maxx or Nordstrom Rack, not off the rack at Target. But this one made me break all my rules –  a bag so deceiving, it looks like it came from Nordstrom. Or Saks or Neimans.

Now, sadly, the truth is out. But it wasn’t for nothing – I want you to have the bag too, and be able to spend all the money saved on something else. Maybe a pair of shoes to match your new bag. Or some earrings. Oh wait, I found those on a budget too…
