Here's the thing: I am often boringly practical, and my girlfriends tell me so.  But when I bought this Baggallini Bagg, guess what? Even the most fashion forward loved it.  In fact, two of them bought the bag for their trip to the Paris French Open Tennis Tournament.

It's REALLY a cute bag!

I happen to be a "Spring" ("Color me Beautiful" classification), and we are supposed to wear gold.  It's almost impossible to find gold hardware, so that was another plus.  (One of my girlfriends bought with gold, the other bought the silver hardware style).  The nice thing about this GOLD is it's really rather a muted gold/brass, so it's not glaringly bright and doesn't need any polishing or upkeep.

The Bag itself is full of wonderful pockets and zippers. I have a place for my makeup, iphone, iphone charger, earbuds, pen, lipstick, wallet/credit cards, keys, and hairbrush. It still has room for a camera, receipts, and a few other things. I don't usually use the credit card slots, but use the included inside zippered piece. I find that easier, and I keep my ID on the outside of that piece.  I keep it clipped onto the long leash for security. How smart is that? If I should be going someplace where I want to carry an even smaller bag (I love the Monaco!), I can quickly transfer the cards and id without worrying that I have left something behind.

The crinkle nylon is substantial, definitely not cheesy. The olive color is great; I also own the black.  The inside lining is bright which makes it much easier to find things.  And of course it is washable and fairly water resistant, so it's perfect for travel or for people like me who tend to throw their bag here and there.

The adjustable shoulder strap is generous. You can wear it cross body or just over the shoulder.  I also have my own sunglass holder that has a clip, and I just clip the sunglasses to the outside big ring of the bag - very convenient.

If I were going to say one negative thing, it would be that the credit card slots are shallow and these days we all seem to have so many cards, not enough anyway.  I would just as soon have another smaller zipper pouch in place of the slots. My other piece of advice here, for all you smartphone users, is to get the Cardstar or Keyring app and ditch most of the loyalty cards; you just have the clerk scan when you buy.

Now you are organized AND looking good!
