Talk about a weekend splurge! Well, not a splurge splurge, but nonetheless, a college-student-part-time-worker splurge! What am I talking about? Well, I have been getting quite bored with my purses lately, so I figured it was time for a change.

I decided to order this Elliott Lucca EL Signature Drawstring purse in White ($398) and it should be coming in sometime this week! I can't wait to get it! To be honest, I was looking for a large black bag... but I fell in love with the shape and style of this one and I felt that the white version showed off the detailing so much more. Regardless, I love white purses, as I already have one (but it's pretty outdated, and a little dirty I must admit)... I just think they're so spring-y, fresh, and gorgeous!

Size-wise, I need a pretty big bag for school and to carry all my stuff with me when I'm out (I'm kind of a grandma about carrying a lot of stuff), so I figured this large one should do the trick. I also love the classic look of the woven leather. Although I have clutches for special occasions, the size of a small bag is so impractical to me... in fact, my boyfriend calls me his "Duffle bag Girlfriend". Hah! I'd be offended if it wasn't so true!

I've heard good reviews about this bag, and also Elliott Lucca seems to be a good value brand according to several forums. I also heard that Elliott Lucca was the higher end line of "The Sak", which I would think would mean that this bag is very function-friendly as well. However, if it's too big, or I don't like it in real life... then it's going right back! As a college student I can't play around when it comes to "big ticket" purchases like that, lol.

I'll be sure to post pictures with it when it arrives!
