Get to Know and Fill Up That Lucy!

That's right, it says "CLURSE". The Lucy can be both a clutch AND a purse, so I made up a word for it. Or at least I think I did. Is "clurse" already a word? How about "clandbag"?

I digress, back to the important stuff! Let's take a Tour de Lucy, shall we? She has only a few differences from the 2011 version. The zipper pocket has been moved inside, she's a bit more compact and includes a removable/adjustable shoulder strap.

In the words of Bob Vila, "let's have a look."

"That's all fine and good, but what can I fit in there?" Is what may be crossing your mind right now. Or maybe it's tacos, I'm not a mind reader, but we'll stick with the first idea - fit.

To answer this question I thought I'd go fashion blogger on you and do a What's In My Bag for all ya'llz.

Have a look. In the front pockets are my quick grab things - phone and card case. I abandoned my wallet and went to a simple case. (Want one to match your bag? It can be done. Let's talk.) I designed these bags with the central clasp so that you could still access those pockets with out unlatching if you need to. And I do that a lot.

The back pocket is open and I use it to stash papers and things I need out of my hands quickly. It's also a good spot for your keys or a shopping list.

Inside I have only the necessities. Altoids (you're welcome!), a little make up, my glasses, and my weird assortment of pens. Why do I carry a variety? I never need more than one. But should I need an option of fine or extra fine in a pinch I'm ready!

And that there is Lucy. I love carrying this as my Saturday bag so that my arms are free to carry loads of produce from the farmers' market and/or tightly grasp the rails on the train. Its also great come Saturday night when I dress it up a bit for a drink because all I do is remove the strap and BOOM! Evening clutch. Don't need to change bags.

Another great Lucy use: I stuff one into my Margot or Randall when I'm carrying a laptop or books. That way if I need to, I can take my Lucy out of my giant bag if I need to run to the coffee shop and don't want to lug my big bag with me.

Versatility, that's what we're about.

I hope you enjoyed meeting Miss Lucy, I'll be back soon to tell you all about my Kimball!
