Owl Things Considered

I couldn't quite decide whether or not it was strange to do two bag-posts in a row, so I just decided to go for it. As it turns out Acccesorize is selling some adorable owl bags these days. Like this one with the metallic scallops!

But when I passed by one of their windows a few weeks back, I also spotted an owl backpack! I love it! I'm not really sure if it's the practical backpack I am looking for, but it's adorable and looks like it might just be waterproof.

I'm glad to see they're not done with the owl hype yet, even though it's been going on for years now. Lucky us, right?

Review: Bagable

When Bagable offered to send me my favorite bag from their website, I had quite a hard time choosing. They have so many purses, messenger bags and backpacks to choose from. And from so many brands as well!

But when I saw the Nica Ashley shoulder bag, I just fell in love. With its embroidery, zigzag edging, funky lining and beautiful rose, it had me mesmerized. And out of seven pretty colors I chose a beautiful tan shade.

When it arrived and I tried it out, I found that it's not only pretty, but incredibly practical as well. Let me show you!

When you pull the handles away from each other, you'll find two open compartments on either side, which is really handy for the things you want to grab easily whenever you need them. Like sunglasses, an umbrella or a notepad.

And the main zipper opens up to the biggest part of the bag, which has another little zipped pocket, as well as a place to slide your phone in. And finally, you can store things behind a magnetic flap in the front as well!

This really is a bag full of options. Not just because it has a lot of handy compartments, but also because you can carry it both in your hand or on your shoulder. It is easily accessible but safe from pickpockets, too.

Final Verdict:

Working with Bagable has been wonderful! My choice of bag got shipped out quickly and the quality and user friendliness both exceeded my expectations. This is a bag I'll be flaunting as often as I can.

If you're looking for a new purse, backpack or luggage for your vacation, be sure to visit Bagable. They have some great items even below 20 pounds! There are some more upscale bags that cost more, but overall it is a very affordable website with good service and a lot of things to choose from.

P.S. Bagable provided the bag, but I was not paid to write this review. These are all my honest opinions.

Wishlist

This satchel has everything I love! The colors, the cute little characters, the fairy tale theme. And hey, it's a satchel, which has never, in the history of mankind, been a bad thing

It's part of an entire collection of fairy tale purses. Another one of my favorites is this one.

And it has a wallet -well, you have to buy it seperately- to match!

Is this collection amazing, or what? It looks both French and Japanese at the same time. And it enables you to give in to that child within while still looking pretty grown-up. I'd better start saving...

In the Mail...

A little while back I was lucky enough to receive a gorgeous Fabric & Handle tote bag.

They came in all sorts of colors but I liked this one best. Somehow I immediately pictured myself taking it to the Japanese supermarket for a bento and then sitting on a bench in the park reading some Murakami or Banana Yoshimoto. Not the time of year really, but I did take it to a conveyor belt sushi place already.

Though we haven't spent that much time together yet, I am already head over heels with this tote. It is very pretty and very functional. And it has the perfect amount of compartments and a little ring you can snap your keys on. The handles are just the right size too.

I am one happy girl!

Check out their website if you're thinking of adding one to your Christmas wishlist.
