Help me shop (purse related)
I'd like to get a clutch, preferably something with a wrist strap. It's needs to be big enough to hold a small wallet, phone, gum and lip gloss I'm not a label whore, so designer isn't important to me. It doesn't necessarily have to be something neutral colored either.
If you're bored and looking for an excuse to shop online, help me out! 
Re: Help me shop (purse related)
How about the one I had in Chicago? It is a Coach wristlet. I am sure you can find something similar w/o the price tag. I have had good luck at Marshall's and Macy's.

and crap they have baby/diaper bags through Coach. Now I want one of those!
Amy, step away from the Coach store!! (not that I don't gawk every single time I go to the mall)

Sorry...I have a small addiction to that place ever since Brian got me one for Xmas.
You can always try the Coach outlets too.
Two words: Coach Outlet
Half the price and they have 30% off coupons every month or so!
I have seen them at TJ Maxx & Marshalls before, but... they are cheaper with a coupon at the outlet.
They also sell several diaper bag out the outlet too...
Here is a cute one from Kohls

My mom got me one for my bday :-) she got it at the outlet on sale plus had a coupon so she got a good deal (I'm trying to not feel bad). I kind of love it. It is tan/beige so it's neutral and it totally does not look like a baby bag so I can reuse eventually. I kind of wanted to start using it now, you know, to break it in. It's not much bigger than the gigantor purse I lug around daily anyway.
Amanda, check out ebags.com, I have had good luck there :-)
I have just a plain Vera Bradley wristlet that I keep in my purse for when I want to ditch the entire purse and just have the essentials. I love it!
I also have one of these and it sounds like it would work really well for you! The phone fits on the outside (but is snapped in... mine has never fallen out of anything), and your credit cards have slots. There's also room for a lipgloss and gum in the zipper section. I love it!

I could let you shop in my purse closet:)
Honestly I would either check out the coach outlets, or some department stores on their sale racks, stores start doing some markdowns right before the 4th. I would do a fun color, like purple, or light blue. Its a great way to dress up an outfit and also unexpected from the the typical black. Also shop ebay or craigslist, or consignment stores, I've consigned some purses that I've stopped using and were worth consigning...
