I so look forward to my Daily Candy e-mails, not just because they’re constantly introducing me to new designers, but because they’re the ones who inspired my “A-ha! I can do this too!” moment a couple of years ago when I decided to start my own shopping blog. (Gotta look to your forebears for inspiration. Who likes to shop in a vacuum? Very uncomfortable, that, with all the dusty sucking and swirling.)
This morning’s message directed me to Melissa Eva’s sale, where I found this: the purse I’ve been waiting for all my life. Compact but not tiny, this cross-body satchel in charcoal leather–got you covered, spring, fall, and winter–is my around-town, now-at-60%-off bag for all seasons.
