Who is bored and wants to shop?!
I can't find a purse to save my life! I've been looking all over the place - in stores and online.
If you want to help me search, I'm looking for something in the beige/nude family with gold hardware, under $200. I'm actually open to other cute options not in the beige/nude family since I seem to be having such a hard time. So suggest away! I also need it to have shoulder straps and I like larger sized bags.
Any help or suggestions are appreciated!!! 
Re: Who is bored and wants to shop?!
I don't think these have gold hardware, but they're leather:

Cute with gold hardware, but not leather:

This one is almost a cream- technically slightly darker "linen" but it has gold hardware and is leather:

LOVE this, but it is 10x your budget:

Thanks Mary! I knew you'd come to the rescue;)
I saw the Big Buddah one in person and it has this obnoxious plastic handle...if I could remove that, it'd be all good! The Sak bag is cute too...I saw that in person too, but I just couldn't commit to it. Ahhhh.
Hahaha the GZ is nice, but not in this lifetime!!!
I saw this one, which is ok but I feel like it might look cheap.

I couldn't tell what the handle was in the picture. Is it in no way removeable? If not, ick, why would they ruin such a cute bag?!
The Sak bag is generic, but at least it is quality and won't immediately go out of stule.
I don't like this one at all. I feel like the sheen on it alone is enough to disqualify it from consideration.
Let me see if I can try more.

Yea I kind of agree on that last one....it is shiny looking.
I think I'm starting to lose my mind because now I'm considering this!

LOVE. In the pink? I tend to use colorful bags for summer regardless of my shoe, etc. choices. That's why I'm in teal for spring!

I like the pink or the green. Can't decide! I'm leaning toward pink, but I'm not sure if I'd look like a little teenager with the pink one?
I like how it looks and it's probably super lightweight - which is the exact opposite of my current bag.

I love the pink. The green is cute too, but I prefer the pink. You won't look like a teenager- you're well dressed and by the end of summer you'll be huge pregnant.

Hahah good call! As long as my rings still fit I should be in the clear;)
