Before your vote, I should make the appropriate disclaimers. I already own three black MJs - a Stella, a Maggie and a smaller one for going out. I have been wanting a teal bag forever but the teal sophia is not calling me like the black or washed rose. And to complicate matters, as I was browsing eluxury today I stumbled upon this Celine bag I'd been coveting (in red) on sale. It's such a different bag and I've seen the print in person and it's very moulin-rouge-y. So now I'm totally confused. The only thing I'm not confused about is that I'm actually going to get one. I think I deserve both the shoes and the bag. I've been working really hard, and I forgot all about my other job - that paycheck just came in today and it was an unexpected surprise (I worked really long hours the past two weeks). Okay, enough rambling, your vote please - or your suggestions if you've seen other fab bags. I'm always open to more options, thanks!

Oh cc, I feel like Carrie from SATC when she said all her money was in her shoes, except mine is in bags, my weakness! I own three black MJs. I actually own quite a few more in other colors. I know I should get something different, but unbelievably enough I don't own a Sophia and I hear from Farrah it's really roomy and the compartments are great, and I'm all about compartmentalizing lately (organizing kick). On the other hand the Celine is so beautiful and unique. Not everyone is carrying an Ella the way people carry Sophias around. Yet it's not all leather, and I could get the all-leather MJ for about the same price. I love them both! I wish I hadn't seen the ella. Yesterday my mom and I were Christmas shopping and she was telling me how easy it is to shop for me because I see beauty in everything. Not sure how back-handed that compliment was, but it's so true. I missed my mom.

I voted for the Celine bag. I like the shape and design so much more than the MJ bag. But if you do decide on the MJ...I really think the rose color is my favorite.
I voted for Celine. But if you get the MJ, I like the blue. The dusty rose isn't doing anything for me... I'm not sure if my screen is off or if it really is supposed to look like a burnt orange-ish tan. Maybe it looks better in person?
I say the Sophia in Teal. It would look so hot with your boots. Did you keep them?
You are right. I love all of the pockets in mine and it fits everything. Lately I have been appreciating the 2 front pockets more: one for my cell and the other for my ipod. You and I think the same way so I do not even need to pitch you the fact that the leather on it is so fabulous and after carrying mine for a year it still looks as marvelous as the day that I got her.
Do me a favor though, if you do decide on the black one, warn me when you are carrying it so we don't look like a couple of twinkie jackasses while we are out on the town, ha-ha:)!!

Yup, I kept the teal boots and I really love them, except they are pretty high so I have to save them for days when I'm not doing a lot of walking. I really wanted a bag to match them but I have my doubts still... maybe if the bag gets marked down a little more. On the other hand, the Celine bag is really calling out to me. I think because I'm fantasizing carrying that bag while sitting in a cafe in Paris. I really want to go back. Do you think it's too rich b*tch?
I don't think I'm going for the black sophia so no worries. Sophia's more of a daytime bag anyway. Besides, we haven't worn our white anouk at the same time yet! So I think we're good.
OT, I got you a little something from the sephora sale. It should be at my doorstep when I come back to town. I got one too, I can't wait!
