Fashion Friday it's not, but I need your help
I have always been a lover of handbags (I was taught not to say "purses")- every since I started working for Nordstrom in the Handbag Department in 1990.
I had a buyer/manager named Carrie Forrest who was the epitome of what you'd expect from a Nordstrom buyer. She was tall, very thin, and absolutely gorgeous - with a heart of gold. She taught me everything she knew about handbags, and until I was promoted to Dept manager of another Department (Hosiery, thank you very much) - I sold many a Dooney & Burke, HCL, and Sharif bag.
But I can't find a decent handbag to save my life today. At least, not one that is *cheap* enough for my tastes.
Until now. I was browsing The Avenue and stumbled across a couple of really, really cute bags - I need your help deciding which one to purchase! They are all relatively *cheap* (Carrie would have killed me if I used that terminology in her dept!) - it's just a matter of deciding which one.
The zebra tote:
The slouchy hobo:
The giraffe print:
Which leads me to the question - do you call them handbags or purses? (This is the really important question, you know)

Here's my bag-s

I say purse but when I was a chapter consultant for my sorority after college I traveled in the Northease and they called them pocketbooks. Weird!

I'm usually not one for animal prints but I voted for the girraffe.

And I love the shape of the white, slouch hobo!
