Love this bag!!  To me it is not too big or too small but just right.  Just the necessities though, if you want to carry everything (meds, tissues, lots of cosmetics, books, laptops, cheeseburgers, rubberhose, etc.)then this will probably not work for you.  I carry a planner, checkbook, cellphone, gum, lipgloss, several pens, and several credit cards and store cards with a lot of room left over for a small book or camera.  Anyway, I love it and I am pretty picky about my purses.
