I bought this purse to take with me to a wedding in the Hamptons. I needed something that would hold not just formal-party essentials (lipstick, compact), but more utilitarian ones as well (cell phone, car keys, compact camera).

It fit everything I needed, which in and of itself would get it 4 stars.

Why am I giving it 5? Because it's BEAUTIFUL. It's sparkly and interesting. It got so many compliments from all the ladies at the reception.

I am seriously considering getting it in another color.
