Babies: 9 - 12 Months

I just did a very bad thing...

I've NEVER been a purse girl. NEVER. I usually wear one until it falls apart (as did the purse I'm wearing now with one strap since the other busted out on me). But I just came across Epiphanie bags that double as a camera bag / purse and I have fallen in love. They just came out in February and I could not decide between the only 3 styles they have.

So what did I do? I bought all three. CRAP! What the hell am I going to tell my husband?!?!?

 

Re: I just did a very bad thing...

  • Tell him that you invested in some nice bags to carry your equipment safely (focus on how well they'll hold your expensive camera gear) and probably won't need a new purse for quite some time.  They're all really cute!

  • Tell him you bought 3 purses.

  • omg...too funny! I thought you were going to ask which ONE to get!!! Where did you order them? I love the belle

    I know. I've NEVER been like this about purses, clothing, anything. But when I saw them, I almost passed out in my office chair.

  • You bought all 3?? LOL Lucky! I've been drooling over Belle!! You'll have to let me know if you like it, once you receive them.

    Awe! Thank you so much! I've been doing a lot of research on the internet. Believe it or not, when the girls on here used to tear me apart on my pics, it just helped me get better I guess (((shhh... don't tell them I said that))). I'm constantly reading photog blogs and looking up tutorials for Lightroom 2 and Photoshop CS4 to do things the RIGHT way.

    I did read Understanding Exposure and that helped me a lot.

    DH's not going to be the one that's going to die. It will be me. But it came out of my private account, so I didn't spend his money, but still. This is just VERY unlike me.

    Everyone starts somewhere and you're pics are really great!  I'm gonna need to check that book out.  I have a rebel and the basic lightroom but no photoshop :(

  • The first purse I ever bought was a Petunia Picklebottom about 3 months ago.

    I still keep all my cc's and ID in my wallet which I keep in my back pocket. Every year since I was 16, a friend of mine would buy me a purse (usually something in the 20 dollar range) because (in her words) "It's time to stop carrying your wallet around in your back pocket like a man and carry a purse like a woman."

    Those are cute though.

  • Uhh... you bought all three?  They are 165 each?!

    Wow... I want Ginger ... lol

  • Idk, ..but as a side note- from the little bit I can see of your kitchen I likes a lot!

    I'm glad you said this...otherwise you would not have liked my post. But since it was your "fun" money...enjoy them!

  • I just Googled and those are pretty expensive for synthetic (pleather) bags! 

    I'm a shopaholic and I try to conceal my purchases.  I don't lie, but I don't draw attention to the fact that I buy something.

  • LOVE the green one. And I have been searching for a good camera bag that can hold my SLR body and lens, plus some extra lenses. Price not bad for a camera bag but it is $50 to ship it to Canada! DH said he would buy one for me for my b-day, but once we found out the shipping it was 'no way'.....are they sold in any stores?

  • You're crazy! lol

    ...Especially since there are just okay reviews on the quality. :/

    Wow.

    Leather bags = HEAVY bags. Don't forget you are loading a lot of camera equipment + your purse stuff as well. I'm thankful it's not real leather, because OMG, they would be WAY too heavy to carry around. They're also waterproof too!

    ...Especially since there are just okay reviews on the quality. :/

    90% of the reviews (I've done a good amount of research on blogs, photog sites, etc) have been nothing but FANTASTIC reviews. I have not read ONE bad review. Some people would have liked them to add feet to the bottom, maybe an extra pocket, stuff like that, but none of the ones I have read have said they didn't like the purse/bag itself.

  • ROFL. My DH would fliiiiiip.
