Handbags

And, finally, since I worked so very hard last year, I decided to treat myself on my birthday to my holy grail of purses!  I've always wanted a quilted black Chanel tote bag that is large enough to bring to work and store a notepad if need be, so I decided on the bag pictured above, which is called the caviar timeless tote.  I purchased the bag from the Chanel boutique in the Saks at Polaris mall (price undisclosed because it is embarrassing!).  But I couldn't be happier with my purchase!!!
