I FINALLY got the Marc Jacobs bag that I wanted. After months of research, aka bargain hunting, I found one bag that I loved it was on sale for about $400, its called the Fran by Marc by Marc Jacobs. Its a great bag, but it is too heavy for my liking. I need(ed) a nice leather bag that I am going to have for years on end and will be light and will be able to fit all of my junk when I go to Spain. So, there needs to be enough room for my brand new camera (!), my on the go makeup bag, my sunglasses case, my wallet, and my gianormous wallet...oh wait... and a map, and a book, and a water bottle. I know what you're thinking ('just carry suitcase?'), but those things are in my bag all the time pretty much. So when I started the hunt I didn't really think it would literally take almost a month, and two bag returns.But, in the end one made the cut, and it was the one I first had my eye on anyway. I first bought the Ukita by Marc Jacobs, then returned it because the handle was really annoying. Then, I bought the Fran, and returned it because it was too heavy. AND IN THE END...I have the Natasha by Marc Jacobs, standard price is about $400 (plus tax).

I do have to special mention this: Amazon fashion website is great. Endless by Amazon is where I found the Fran bag, and I got it "on a discount", with a free shipping and a free return label. The shipping said that it would take 3 to 5 business days, but I got the bag the very next day. I was uber impressed.
