{Rebecca Minkoff Mini Mac Bag} 

Remember this post from a few weeks ago? I debated whether or not to splurge on a Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC bag or save money by buying a similar bag for less. After hearing the opinions of many readers and my friends I decided to buy the Rebecca Minkoff bag. 

I was on the fence about buying the bag because the $195 price tag was pretty intimidating. However, I had set aside money/gift cards I was given for christmas and decided that buying one of my dream bags was a good present for myself. 

Now that I've had the bag for a week I can tell you buying it was the right choice. I've wanted this bag for years and the quality is amazing. The above pictures don't even come close to doing the bag justice. I also needed a black bag for many different occasions and the Mini MAC can be dressed up or down. 

One of the best things about my new baby (Is it bad that I have like 8 babies? My phone, camera, bag, etc, etc) is the size. I can easily fit all my essentials for a day of shopping, trip into the city, or night out. I hate having to transfer the contents of my giant everyday wallet to a smaller wallet when I use a cross body bag and with this bag I don't have to do that! My wallet fits and there is still plenty of space for my phone, lipgloss, Chapstick, and bronzer. I could also fit a small notebook as well if I needed one! 

If you are looking for a new cross body bag and are thinking in investing in a more expensive option I definitely recommend the Mini MAC. I know my bag and I will spend many happy years together.

p.s. If you are looking for a bright colored bag I love this color of the Mini Mac bag that is similar to the bag in this post on Sequin and Stripes that I'm obsessed with!
