Default Handbags?

Hi, I figure, a handbag I can get even in the "inbetween" weight phase. I have been kind of lazy about it, but I have been carrying around a very worn out Lesportsac for a long time and I need to get off my bum and finally get a bag. I am not really a handbag person - not too great at picking them out.
I have been searching for awhile and I am sort of stuck between these two
1.) Rebecca Minkoff Swing Bag-I like that the chain is adjustable to a cross body.


2.) Marc by Marc Jacobs Classic Q Natasha bag - Also a pretty cute style and...I like the logo in the front. I've never owned anything "designer" before hahah

I love the second one! I only wear bags that go across the body so I don't actually have to hold the bag, I like them to be very hands free. Very cute!

I like them both but would probably pick the first one.

I like the second one too.

How do you get the picture with it on a body like that?

I like the second one too, but I like having my hands free so I always opt for bags that go across the shoulder

I prefer the second one, mostly because I'm a silver girl. The first bag has way to much gold chain for me.

I have a handbag with a chain like the first one...love it! It's nice to wear the chain long or short and it adds some bling to the bag. I can wear it with dress clothes or with blue jeans.

I am not a fan of chain straps personally. They get caught in my hair and they can be noisy. I like the second one a lot! I just went through the great handbag hunt myself. It's a tough decision!!

Love Rebecca Minkoff, but the chain is killer on the shoulders ... I know the MAC (Morning After Clutch) has leather padding in the shoulder area to make it more comfy.

Love the MbyMJ too. You can't go wrong

The RM will most likely keep its value a little more. I love the chain!

Coaches New Willis is on my want list. Cross body in a classic style! Love it! Comes in black too.

I like them both! I think the second one is a bit more stylish though, it has a classier feel to it. The first one seems more appropriate for night time though, so if I had the money to spend, I'd just get them both.
