Get Carried Away



My bag finally came in today.  I ordered to last Sunday and received it today which is Monday.  I love the color and pattern of the bag but it is way too big.  I think I would look ridiculous to use this as my everyday work bag.  This tote would be much better to use as a travel bag.

Huge box was left at my front door step

Nicely packaged with tissue and bubble wrap


Canterberry Magenta

 Get Carried Away Tote

Double straps with cushioned  adjustable pad

retail price $92.00

Pocket in the front and back

This is the envelop my invoice came in.  I used it to measure the length of  the pocket.  As you can see it is very deep. My tablet is easily  swallowed by it.

There is also side pockets on each side.  It is not as long as the front pocket but you can easily fit a  water bottle or even a Special K drink and a Red Bull in one pocket.

Zipper top closure

small gaps on each ends after it is zipped.


Vera Bradley tag

I just used the envelope and 2 cards that where inside the box to show how many pocket it has.  As you can see it has 3 pockets and 2 pen slots in each side of the tote.  So total 6 pockets and 4 pen slots in the tote.

I tried to get a good picture of the inside side pockets.  There is one on each end.  They also have a plastic lining to wipe it clean if it gets dirty.




This tote is so big I can easily fit my sons backpack and laptop.  I could probably fit our PS4 in it as well.

The bottom of the tote seems sturdy.  It feels like a thick cardboard,


Sadly to say I am definintly going to return this bag.  The color and pattern is perfect but just way to big for what I intended it to be used.

My look using the both blushes, eyeliner, mascara, lip balm, and pore refiner.

When I fist looked at my glam room I did not think I was going to like anything in the bag.   Now that I have had a chance to use the products I totally love everything in my bag.  I am not a fan of lip balms where I have to use my finger, but I really like this lip balm.  I think it might even replace my favorite EOS lip balm.  The mascara is awesome since I have very short eyelashes.  The blushes were so pretty and pigmented.  The eyeliner is soft and applies smoothly.  The pore refiner is very light and makes your skin feel silky and smooth.  Overall I was very pleased with my Beauty Schooled Glam Bag
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed your summer!

Michael Kors Messenger Bag

Michael Kors

Dust bag

This came in 3 colors:
Black, brown and off white
I chose black because I don't have a black cross body bag

Hanging logo charm

Gold hardware

2 side pockets

Zipper pocket and 2 side pockets


Inside clasp
I sometimes clip my swiss army knife to that

Back buttoned pocket magnetic closure
I like this feature because I can put receipts or random papers that I carry.
I also like it because I can just slip my phone in there and not have to search for it inside the purse

Filofax Pocket Wallet
Tablet
Good 2 Grow Juice
Crochet Hook
Ear buds
Lotion
Lipstick

It's roomy enough to fit my Personal sized Filofax and everything else I mentioned above

In reality this is what I actually carry and need in my purse. 

I have had this Coach cross body bucket purse for at least 6 years.  As you can see it is still in great condition.   These bags maybe a little pricey but they last a very long time and well with the price

This is my other Michael Kors bag that my husband bought me last year.  I think its beautiful and it has a lot of space.  The only thing is that it is so heavy.  It gets even heavier once I put all my "necessities" in it.  I will definitely use this purse when we go out or to church.  I think this one was the Hamilton bag but I could be wrong.

Thanks for stopping by!
