Some dilemmas you’ll gladly grapple with.

Whom to marry. How best to jockey for a promotion. Which jeans make your butt look best.

Others you have no time for. Like the everyday handbag. Nevermind the statement it makes; it just has to carry everything easily and with style. Which is exactly the brilliance of the Martha bag from Georgia designer Ginger Michelle. Made of supple Italian leather, the over-the-shoulder purse is divided into three compartments and has pockets both open (cellphone, iPod) and zippered (keys, meds). It’s large enough to fit a folder, but small enough that no one would mistake it for (ugh) a mere tote. The eight available colors are basic (black, brown) or bold (orange, pink). Topstitching and sassy buckles are stand-out touches.

Not that you’re worrying about such details. You have better things to think about.
