CitySlips Review
HUGE thank you to the fab ladies at City Slips for sending me a pair of flats to try out and review (I wasn't paid for this review and these are my 100% totally honest opinions).
CitySlips are a pair of flats that come folded up in a little adorable pouch that you can put in your bag/clutch and take with you when you are wearing heels. I am, on a good day, 5'2'' and I live in heels but there are times when it just gets a bit uncomfortable. I am not one of those girls that would take off my heels and walk around town barefoot (eww gross).
So there are a few different kinds of these ballet flats on the market right now (one by Dr. Scholl's called Fast Flats). City Slips has something that I haven't seen before, the pouch that holds the shoes folds out to a tote to hold your heels. How awesome is that?!?!? Who really wants to walk around carrying their shoes, so not fun!
The things I love about these flats:
These flats come in a few colors: Black, Gold, Silver and a two options (solid or snakeskin which is so adorb). They sell for 24.95 and are worth it! Competitors may sell for about 10.00 but you don't get a tote and the quaitly isn't as good as City Slips.

The things I love about these flats:
- They are small, I can fold them up and put them in a largeish clutch (Pictures is the Maggie Bags Clutch) and I am good to go!
- The sole is very thick. I don't feel like I will step on something yucky and get it on my feet (def not the feeling I had with the Dr. Scholl's, the shoe and sole was so thin).
- They are super comfy! Sometimes ballet flats can be a little uncomfy but these have a good amount of cushion AND a nice sturdy sole so they are definitely a new love
- The black color has the perfect amount of shine and it will totally go with so many outfits!
Things I am not crazy about:
- I couldn't find a single thing! Strange I know!!!!! I always try to find something I am not 10)% happy about but I seriously couldn't!

Maggie Bags Laptop Bag Review
Yesterday I posted the review of the Maggie Bags Hobo and today I will be focusing on the Laptop bag. I received this bag 2 years ago but my opinions haven't changed a bit. I used this bag a LOT, it was a go to carry on bag for me (second only to the Vuitton Neverfull).
Buy a Maggie Bag Today: http://www.maggiebags.net
What I love about this bag:
So basically I think messenger bags in general do not look good on me so I am mostly a tote girl. But there was something about this Maggie Bag that was nice on me. I didn't hate the way it looked on me. Maybe it was the pretty interior that made me smile every time I opened it (by you now you probably know how obsessed I am with bag interiors haha). I like that it has the option to carry it multiple ways: handheld, cross body, or over the shoulder. This way I can definitely accommodate how I carry it based on size or how heavy it is. The bag on its own is light but it can get heavy when its stuffed. I also love that it has metal feet on the bottom of the bag. Complete peace of mind when putting it on the floor because you know the bag will be fine. It looks the same as when I got it 2 years ago! Seriously this bag ages really well.
What I am not so crazy about:
Only one thing, the adjustable strap always slips after using it so I am readjusting it at the end of the day. Not a big deal.
Check out the super cute satin purple interior with tons of slots for cards, pens, phone, etc. LOVE IT
It can fit a 3 inch binder and a 13" laptop at the same time!
This time there is a clipboard, Coach Demi, and more!

Maggie Bags Hobo Review
Everyone loves a hobo because it's got a great shape and really practical. So why not get a hobo that "Saves the Planet in Style" by getting the Maggie Bag Hobo. Made out of seatbelts that were rejected from use due to color variation, these handbags definitely are an attention grabber.
The bag, like all Maggie Bags, has a beautiful satin purple interior and silver hardware. This particular style has the name, MAGGIE BAGS, on one of the circular silver pieces of the bag. Even though it has a good amount of hardware, the bag isn't overly heavy, HUGE plus!!!
I initially reviewed this bag 2 years ago, but not only does my opinion remain the same, but the bag looks the same! And this is AFTER I spilled a red drink on the bag and let it sit for a few days before using a baby wipe to just wipe it clean. This bag is in a very light tan color and most other bags would look really worn out after using them for over a year.
Check out the pics to see what fits inside this hobo (a really good amount!) and how it looks on the shoulder. Absolutely love this bag!!!!

Bag of the Day: Juicy Couture Fairfax Luxe Gold Tote
I got a request to start doing a new feature on this blog: Bag of the Day. I will try to keep up with it as best I can and update this blog when I switch bags.
Today I used the Juicy Couture Fairfax Luxe Gold Tote. Favorite part of the bag is probably the interior because its a bright blue and definitely makes me smile every time I look inside :) So here she is on the way to the gym snuggling with my yoga mat.
