Goldilocks dilemna

I am always on a quest to find the perfect wallet. Hence over the years, I have accumulated quite a collection of continental wallets, coin purses, phone wallets, zipped wallets, etc. You name the type and I most likely have it.

Props to anyone who can name these all.

Yet I am still on a hunt.

Wants:
- The size must be perfect. Nothing too long and it has to fit in my hand nicely.
- A wrist strap would be nice.
- A compartment for coins is a must.
- Must accommodate my bajillion store cards.

Here are new additions to that family:

MK wallet on a chain in red saffiano leather.
Kate Spade Darla coin purse in surporange.

I've always wanted some wallet on a chain and the MK was a nice fit. Plus the red saffiano is so gorgeous and it's quite roomy inside. It is a little bulky but I think it would be handy for going out at night where all I really need are my phone, some cash, keys and a lipstick.

The Kate Spade on the other hand was a good deal I found on Ebay that was hard to pass. I did like that it had a zipped compartment on the inside, a chain for my keys and a see through slot on the back for ID or public transit cards.

Both from F21.

these 2 were just plain cute. I think the penguin coin purse was $2+ and the owl pouch was $6+. 

Maybe I'll do an in-depth post of all my wallets someday when I got the time.

Earlier this year, I embarked on the "52 Week Money Challenge" that was going around online. I thought it was a brilliant idea and would leave me with over $1300 at the end of the year. I figured that I could use the money for Christmas gifts or I could reward myself with a nice vacation. 

There are many PDFs and guides online and it is not too late to start :D
