Birthday Bag.

Only 90 days until my birthday and that means one thing...time to start planning my gift list!  My family does much better in the gift giving department when I actually make it very obvious what I want.  (One year I got a brown polar tech blanket from the hubs...warm, but not exactly an exciting present.)

This year, I think it's time for a new bag and I'm going old school.  Kate Spade.  My very first nice handbag was the classic black nylon bag.  I toted that thing all through college and it's still in great shape. 

I saw a gal carrying this Kate Spade a few weeks ago and loved it so much, I stopped her to get a better look at the bag. 

Kate Spade Mary Ann bag in navy with ostrich embossing.  I think what I love about the bag is the color.  It's a true navy and would be such a refreshing change from all my black and brown bags.  Classic with a twist.  I know it will get better with age and the best part?  It's on sale!

I would also be open to considering the Cobble Hill Leslie (Small) in Storm, which is more of a gray shade.  I like the slouch of the bag and the fact that it has a cross body strap.

What bag do you want?  Do you make birthday lists in advance? Mom, are you reading?!
