Since I don't have to invest in stunning designer clothes, I decided I MUST invest in a fantastic handbag that would help me navigate the sea of models, makeup artists, and fabulous people while simultaneously toting my "essentials" (water, granola bar - no time for food breaks - notepad, phone, trusty lip gloss(es), sunglasses, and back-up battery charger - I'm assuming all outlets are taken by high-powered hairdryers, flat irons, and fancy wind machines).
So I decided to make a statement by investing in the Givenchy Pandora, and she manages to make me feel supremely fashionable, (even on the 358 bus that transports quite the variety of Seattlites and passes the pink elephant car wash). She has an awesome slouchy feel with two zipper pockets, cross-body or shoulder strap, and is just....so pretty! She's my biggest investment yet, but as my friends assured me, "Kate, she's not a purse...she's ART." Trust me, when you're ready to invest in an amazing bag (or shoes, or skin care), I can promise it's worth every penny. Cross(body) my 'art' and hope to die...
