Review J.Crew Signet Bag Italian Leather

This post is long overdue. Last month when I was on my shopping ban, J.Crew had a 30% off coupon that was only good for a few days. I was lamenting to my husband that I really wanted to get the black version of the Signet bag that I already had in soft blossom. It's a great everyday bag and one I use daily for work. He said he would get it for me for my birthday. I told him I wanted it monogrammed. I also mentioned that I didn't want my initials monogrammed. I told him he should surprise me with a fun acronym. Boy did he ever!

*Edit- get 30% off with CODE: HAPPYSPRING


Everyone knows what FML stands for, right? But coming from my husband it also means "For My Love". He knew I would love the duality of the acronym. It's absolutely perfect! 😆

The Signet bag also comes in a variety of colors. Each one comes with a different colored key fob. The fob contains the keys to the lock that comes with the bag. I haven't actually tried to see if it works, but I assume it does.


The bag is 8 inches in length, 6 inches high and about 3 inches deep. It's the perfect size to hold all your daily essentials. I can easily fit my iPhone, key case, card case, card holder, my inhaler, lipstick, chapstick, extra battery charger, cough drops and gum. I don't actually use a wallet. I prefer to divide everything up into two slim card holders. There's also two side pockets. One is zippered the other one is open for easy access. 




I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and the bag does not look small against me. I should also mention the strap is very long, if you look closely you can see I've made it shorter my knotting it once around the back strap.




The leather is very high quality and soft. It is a bit textured and I think it will hold up very well as long as you take care of the bag. I've had it for over a month now and have worn it to work as well as on the weekends. I think the black color makes this a very versatile bag that can go with any outfit. The hardware is a subtle gold, which I like. I'm not into super yellow shiny gold.



The bag also comes in a fun color block suede and leather that would be perfect for spring outfits. The price is $128 which won't break your bank account. Sometimes J.Crew will offer up to 30% off your purchase which would bring this baby down to under $100. Even at full price I think this bag is worth the money. If you would also like to get your bag monogrammed it costs an extra $10.

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

    1. Isn't it? I absolutely love it! It makes me smile every time and I've been using it almost everyday for work. I don't need a bigger bag since I don't have to carry a laptop with me.

Review! Coach Soft Empire Carryall 40 Merlot

  I am super excited about this review! This has been the most anticipated Coach bag since The Rogue came out. At least for me. When I first saw this bag on the purseblog , my eyes widened and I was immediately obsessed. The Soft Empire Carryall comes in four sizes. Size 48 is ridiculously big, I cannot pull it off, but the 40? Perfect. Size 35 and 26 just doesn't give off the same wow factor. This bag is meant to be a statement piece and head turner. Kudos to Stewart Vevers for creating another hit that everyone will be obsessing over for a long time. I hear that more colors will be released soon, and I am hoping the distressed lived-in version will not be exclusive to size 48. In case it doesn't happen, I'll be using my Empire 40 as much as I can to give it a distressed look myself.  For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and please check out my video to see what fits! Coach Empire 40 Merlot This bag is huge, it's definitely the biggest bag in my collection. ...

Review! Balenciaga Rodeo Bag Size Small Plus Video

  You all know I love my bags, and as a Balenciaga collector, I don't often stray from the City and First style. The Rodeo (pronounced like Rodeo Drive) really caught my eye. It gives off a slouchy Hermes Kelly vibe, but way more practical to use.  For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall. Balenciaga Rodeo Bag Small The Rodeo can be carried a few ways. It comes with a crossbody strap that is not adjustable but it is removable. Not sure why anyone wouldn't add a few extra holes to make a strap adjustable these days. Come on Balenciaga! Do better! The top handle is a bit too long for this to work anyhow, I feel like the top handle gets in the way. It sticks out and doesn't sit well in my opinion. I wouldn't carry this bag crossbody unless it was an unforeseen emergency and I really needed my hands free. This bag looks more chic carried by the handle or crook of the arm. It also looks nice left open with the help of the flap tucked in. The Rodeo resembles the Kelly bag ...

Review! Lululemon's Large Everywhere Belt Bag Size Comparison Plus Video!

  Happy Friday! I can't believe it's almost Halloween! I actually have a dentist appointment on Halloween. One of my molars chipped and needs to be filled in.
