I started wearing a purse just a few years ago, and now, I don't know how I ever lived without one. With summer coming to a close, I find myself in need of an upgrade to fit my essentials, but realized that catchall totes are too bulky and shoulder bags aren't large enough. I was about to give up on my search until Katie Holmes came through with inspiration in the form of a bucket bag. Holmes has been carrying her trusty Madewell Bucket bag for years, and I can understand why.
