I have been told that the reason that my hands start shaking and I have to eat after I make a large purchase at the mall is that I get very excited when I'm shopping. Today I went to the shopping center and I got so excited I had to go home. I'm making a list of the obsessions for my reference as much as anyone's.
Let's start with the boots:
You know the Chanel boots Anne Hathaway wears in The Devil Wears Prada? Here is my answer to them:

While we're at anthropologie, I give you the new sixties (closely related to the new eighties):

Let's move to the Gap, where we can find surprisingly good leather, in jackets:

and in bags:

J.Crew has some bags that aren't bad, either, check out for example:

or:

This bag, interestingly, bears some similarities to vintage Coach:

at least in that front pocket:
coach bag
Coach has some other things I like, but as you can see, we're getting a little bit pricey:

Maybe I'd be better off looking at something more along these lines:
urbanoutfitters bag
It's all relative. And this isn't even counting what I just saw at Express.
Never mind that I need more key things in my life, like a microwave.
Obsessions.
