The size of a personal item is somewhat at the discretion of an airline. But just be forewarned: a purse usually DOES count as a personal item.
Here are the FAA guidelines for carryons and personal items:
On domestic flights, the typical allowance is one carry-on bag, and one personal item. For most air carriers, that personal item is taken to be a purse, briefcase, laptop bag or camera bag. In almost every instance this personal item must be smaller than your allotted carry-on (you may not, for example, have two 14 x 9 x 22-inch bags and count one as a personal item). Some airlines set size/weight limits for personal items (American, for instance, limits you to 36 linear inches).
