[purse diaries] poor little it girl

When Meaghan approached me to participate in her "Purse Diaries" series, it could not have been better timing. My crappy old bag I had been using for about a year finally broke (a blessing...that thing was awful!) and I needed a push to go out and get something pretty! So meet my new best friend from ZARA. She's big, lightweight and the prettiest peachy color that's sure to go with just about everything I wear this summer. And for only $80...talk about a Poor Little It Girl dream! (Side note - PLIG's motto: everything I feature on my blog is under $100!)

I didn't add anything to my bag to make me look "cooler" or more "hip" and besides a few business cards I received during the day and a Chipotle receipt I removed...this is literally what's in my bag (minus my camera of course). An amazing PRADA wallet I received as a gift from my first NYC magazine boss that I've used since she gave it to me in 2007, an old school folded brush with mirror I "borrowed" from a girlfriend, a frat-tastic coozie I just love, and an unnecessary amount of Maybelline lip products. My bag, simple, sweet, and a little bad ass...perfect description if you ask me!
