Since I moved to California almost four years ago, my wardrobe has slowly shifted to mostly light colored neutrals to vibe with the beachy, laid back lifestyle here.  This fall when packing for NYFW, I realized that I didn’t have a nice medium black bag to fit all of my things when I travel.  The key is that I need it to be big enough to fit my phone, mophie, lip gloss, etc., but still be small enough to not be too heavy.

We all know that Nordstrom’s selection is enormous, and their handbag selection is just as fabulous with all price ranges.  This bag was exactly what I was looking for. It’s big enough to fit all the things I need but small enough where I can wear it on my shoulder or across my body to free up my hands when need be. And I love it in nude! I mean… who doesn’t want to see the pink version under their Christmas tree?

Honestly, I’ve loved it so much I would absolutely consider getting another one in a different color/size further down the road.
