While in NYC, I came across this Kate Spade bag in Century 21, and fell in love. From afar it seems like just any ordinary plain black leather purse, but I liked the simple design with the black bow in front.
The handles are also just right for carrying on my shoulder or arm, and the size is perfect for putting a portfolio or notepad in. There is also enough space to contain a water bottle, and a spare pair of flats if you have a long commute to the interview location.
I liked that rather than the typical purse where there are only 2-3 pockets on the side, while the rest of the contents of your purse are tossed around in the main cavity, there is an extra zippered pocket in the centre that divides up the main body into two sections. This allows me to store more valuable documents in the zippered areas while leaving the more accessed items in the open parts. And of course, the signature Kate Spade polka dot lining also adds a fun touch.
Here it is packed and I also included a folder for taking notes as well:
If there was anything I didn't like about this bag, its that the handles do not fold down but are fixed and stiff. This makes it harder to store the bag or pack it for a trip.
I also added a keychain - a mini schnauzer charm from Coach to 'guard' my bag :) Reminds me of Snowy from Tintin...was anyone a fan?
Unfortunately I didn't get take any pictures of how the bag looks in proportion to me but will do in a future post...possibly an outfit post.

It does look like the dog! I didn't really watch it though.
I'm loving the bag! The compartments look very useful. I need to find one like this. I've switched over to shoulder purses...like a student again...blah haha.
I like when the inner lining is fun~
mama has this white coach bag, but what makes me like it is the inside as well. (weirdly enough I cant really remember the colour... turquoise?)

It is very important to wear the correct clothes for work with and sober make up and also the right accessories which are functional yet trendy.organic foundation
