Finding the perfect handbag has always been a struggle for me. It is so hard to find a bag that is perfect for everyday and practical for the evenings. For years, I have been lusting over Rebecca Minkoff handbags and I finally decided to break the bank and purchase my first one. A lot of research goes into buying your first designer bag and I knew the M.A.C. Crossbody would be the best option for me. The overall size of the bag is great. It is 11" L x 2" D x 8" H with a 21" drop chain strap. I can fit everything I need for the day and it doesn't get bulky. This bag also comes in a mini version, which is great if you want the same style but feel the regular size is too large for your needs. I was really impressed with the quality of the leather. It feels super soft and buttery, so it will definitely get better with age. When it came to color choice, I stuck with black because it is a classic color and it will be easy to style. I knew if I picked a brighter color, I would get sick of it. My favorite thing about this bag is the gold hardware. The clasp in the front and the metal hardware on the bottom gives off a subtle, edgy look. The gold details and size makes it perfect to use on a night out.

Since I chose a neutral color, I figured I could accessorize the bag with fun key chains. I picked one up at H&M, it is currently unavailable on their website, but they have a lot of unique ones out for the summer. I really like this key chain because it really stands out against the black leather. Also the lips add a nice pop of red.

Overall, this bag was the perfect choice for me and I know it is going to be my go to choice for the summer.
