shoes, yay! purses... boo!

I'm badly in need of a new, every-day purse since the zippers on my Target one have shredded the lining on top and keep getting caught. Unfortunately, I absolutely HATE purse shopping. All purses are huge, ugly, and lack the compartments and organization that I want. I went to 4 different stores today in search of a simple black purse, and came away disgusted. I figured I could easily find the perfect purse online at ebags.com or zappos.com, but they're just as ugly and expensive. It really makes me want to design my own purse, but I wouldn't know where to start or how to have one made.

It's really a shame... I love shoes and see the beauty in every pair. Too bad a sense of shoe style isn't linked to purse style.

I get really irritated when I'm shopping for something specific and can't find it. I'm totally grossed out.

For example, in the preview, this purse look promising:

But in another picture, it's suddently GINORMOUS! All I want to keep in it is my wallet, cellphone and keys, with the occasional extras (checkbook, small notepad, camera, etc).
