I am super hard to convince when it comes to making purchases more than $2.99. The last bag I bought I spent ten dollars on and after two weeks it was falling apart. I vowed not to make the same mistake and was being urged by people I know to buy a leather bag because they are so durable. The idea of leather bothers me. So I was resigned to find a bag, well under fifty dollars, that is worth well over fifty dollars, one that fits all of my heavy things for school, can handle being used for travel, and is cute.

This bag is all of these things thus far. The shoulder strap is a life saver and I suggest carrying it in your bag even if you don't plan on using it. Where I live grocery bags aren't given, you HAVE to buy them, and woe upon you if your forget a shopping bag. This bag will fit all the crap you need and don't need, but the shoulder strap helps with the weight. I do wish the smaller double straps were a bit larger, I am not a small woman and they don't sit on my shoulder comfortably. One other minor thing I wish were different is the pockets. This bag comes with two open pockets on the inside (presumably for a cell phone and a few other items that need easy access) and a zipper pocket. Everything I need to fit in them does fit, but I am an organization FREAK and love love love LOVE pockets and compartments. If there weren't so many amazing reviews on this bag I wouldn't have bought it.

I think I have rambled enough already, This bag has been enduring the busy life of a college student who has the bag packed full from 8am til 5pm, it has been on public transportation, and thrown in the trunk and back seat of the car. And it is still in flawless condition.

Besides its durability it is also ADORABLE, in a very glitzy rock way. I was complimented the very first day I wore it out.

Anyways, this review boils down to BUY IT! It is worth it, and this is coming from a cheapskate who puts her bags through hell!
