"  Confession: I&amp;#039;ve been carrying around the same bag for the past six months. Of course, I change it out for evening events/parties and travel but, from Monday to Friday, you&amp;#039;ll find me carrying the very same Vanessa Bruno mini hobo (an eBay score purchased for under $100). Yesterday, a couple of images arrived in my inbox that made me want to break out of my handbag rut. Enter Derek Lam. The designer&amp;#039;s Romina bag for spring 2009 is oversized, slouchy, tough, polished, and big enough to shove an extra pair of shoes in while still looking pulled together\u2014namely, everything I&amp;#039;ve ever wanted in an everyday bag. So tell me, am I alone in my obsessive devotion to Vanessa Bruno&amp;#039;s wildly versatile piece? How often do you change out your everyday handbag?  \u2014Violet Moon Gaynor   Photos: Courtesy of Derek Lam "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
