The one that got away

So this year I decided to tell my boyfriend exactly what I want for Christmas because he's pretty much oblivious to "hints". (Still love you boo boo!) The biggest reason for telling him months in advance is because I had finally found the bag of my dreams! Oak NYC's private label A.OK came out with six limited edition bags all in the $200 range. Unfortunately, my beautiful bag is currently sold out and since it's limited edition... well, it's sold out forever. I'm kicking myself for not just buying it, but that's life.

Upon my quest to find yet another perfect black leather replacement bag, I found six marvelous wants on Zara's website.



I mean, are you kidding me Zara? Way to make every doctor bag style I've ever wanted (HELLO bottom right hand corner, you have been haunting my dreams for years). The three bags at the bottom happen to be my favorite, but they're not black! Oh, but that suitcase. I can't even believe I'm saying this, but it's shockingly only $109. Actually, they're all $110 or less. They're all so perfect, and yet all so not what I'm looking for. What's a girl to do?
