After taking a few days off work a couple weeks ago, I came back to a pile of work and I spent last week working overtime trying to meet my deadlines—hmm, I guess that’s what I get for taking a vacation, right?! At least, that’s what one of my coworkers told me.

Even though my vacation’s over, I can still carry a purse that makes me remember the carefree feeling of having a few days away from work and the regular day-to-day responsibilities. The Idylwilde bag by Kate Spade is one of those bags, which is appropriate considering it’s named after a California mountain town which as the web site states is “dotted with quaint lodges and classic resorts.”

Available for $255, the cabbage roses and color combo on this cotton canvas purse radiate spring and summer, so now is the perfect time to pick it up. The shape of this bag, called the thea, is a new style in Kate Spade’s spring collection, so if you happen to like the shape, but prefer different colors, make sure to check out the entire thea line.

Now, how many more weeks until my next vacation?!
