I commute on mass transit, so a cross-body bag is definitely the way to go. I have had many cross-body bags, but could not seem to find one that was the right size, was comfortable to wear AND had enough room for my stuff. Last week I was doing the daily crossword on the Trib website when an ad for the Mosey Life Duffy Weekender Cross-Body popped up. I admit, the main reason I clicked on it was it was my favorite color (violet), but when I saw the pictures and read the description, not only did I order it, I actually had it overnighted to me. I love this bag! It is not huge, but can hold my daily necessities (Kindle, makeup bag, sandwich, gum, cell phone, small umbrella) without feeling bulky or looking crammed. The sections and pockets makes it easy to organize, the lighter color interior (mine is yellow) makes it easy to find things, and the attached key ring and wallet means no more frantic digging looking for my keys or ID/bank card. I used this purse all weekend and received many compliments. I really don't think I will ever need to buy another purse, unless I decide that I have to have the platinum one as well : )
