Well, I've really liked the bags that Marc By Marc Jacobs has put out recently, until now. The Safety Net Cotton Shopper is fashioned in chocolate-and-purple polka dot cotton and accented with a bird print, a cloud and all tied up with a big knot. With a signature tag on the front and measuring 18.5x17x3, you can buy this bag at Net-A-Porter for $190. (I’ll give them credit where credit is due, it is cute, but it's gonna take more than a signature tag and a little bird for me to pay this much for a measly cotton bag.)

Carlos Falchi Medium Lotus Shoulder Bag

The Medium Lotus Shoulder Bag by Carlos Falchi is fashioned in super soft washed leather and accented with grommet details. With a single cross body style strap and top drawstring closure, this bag is definitely unique. Most bags of this size are great to carry that is until you try to find something in it! If you're like me, you end up digging clear to China looking for that tube of lipstick or a pen! Well, another reason that I love this bag...it has a removable mini pouch that will hold all of those important 'things' that seem to disappear, that is until you completely empty your bag. This adorable bag is available in aqua, and measures 10x7x10. You can buy it at Zappos for $688.95.
