a short bout of admiration over this purse

I had been on the hunt for a new 'everyday' purse ever since my old one started to look quite... 'well loved'. And by 'well loved' I really mean 'incredibly tattered'. So I was in H&M about three weeks ago and I came across this puppy. I was a little hesitant at first to purchase a bag from H&M, mostly because I wasn't sure of the quality, but I took the plunge and picked it up anyways.

Well. Let me just say: I AM IN LOVE. I have loved few bags as much as I love this one. It's big enough that I can fit in all my books for class and still manage to zip it up. Zipping it up is key when you live in a city where it pours non-stop. It has just the right number of pockets on the inside and I love that you have two choices of straps. And to make it even better, someone told me the purse made me look very nautical. And let me tell you, I will do just about anything in order to look nautical.  Love, love, love.
