You guys, I am so excited about this. I am teaming up with Dagne Dover to giveaway my favorite work and travel bag, their 13-inch Tote in Powder Pink (a limited edition color that is no longer available)!
I carry this bag every day and when I travel. I absolutely love it! You can see mine in action here. The powder pink color is perfect for spring and summer. But thanks to the bag's structure and elegant design, it still looks professional and polished... and it's pink!
I have several Dagne Dover bags and I can honestly say they are the best made and functional bags I have ever owned. There is a pocket for everything -- your phone, iPad, laptop, pens, papers, water bottle, and cosmetics (plus room for more). My favorite part about this 13-inch tote are the foldable handles, which means it's perfectly stow-able and will maintain its chic shape.
And now we can twin!
Enter to win from today through Friday and make sure to check out Dagne Dover's full range of bags over at DagneDover.com. I will announce the winner next week. Good luck!
It is no secret that I love Dagne Dover's totes. Simply put, they are bags that work for working women. Never in my life have I had a bag so well made and designed. They have thought about everything - how to secure your electrics, a convenient clip on card case for public transport, and pockets for everything (from your water bottle to your business cards). Even the straps are padded for comfort.
My first Dagne Dover tote was the large 15-Inch Tote (seen here). This was the first generation of Dagne totes. Not only was I impressed by the quality and design of the bag, but the company was incredibly attentive. When they asked for my feedback - my only complaint was that the bag, when filled, was quite heavy - they listened. I swear each new version is lighter than the last.
My next Dagne Tote was the Tiny Tote (seen here and here). I was looking for something small and convenient for my travels in Europe and this little guy certainly did the trick. In Florida the detachable card case was lost on me, but boy did I love it in London and Paris!
I have to admit, however, that this, my most recent Dagne tote, is my all-time favorite. The 13-Inch Tote is slightly smaller and much lighter than my original 15-Inch, yet still holds everything I need for work and travel. The padded straps are the perfect length and saves my shoulder when hauling books. And unlike the 15-Inch, these straps fold down, which makes storing them under the seat on airplanes so much easier. Not to mention this blush color is gorgeous!
Have you tried Dagne Dover yet? I got a sneak peak at some of their spring arrivals and they are gorgeous!
Hello, my name is Ashley and I have a sunglasses addiction.
Growing up in Florida with light eyes, sunglasses were an essential. I never leave home without them. Over the years, however, practical eye protection turned into an accessories obsession. Nothing completes an outfit like a great pair of sunglasses. They make you look instantly chic and add that finishing touch to any look. So needless to say, I have amassed quite the collection over the years (especially while in Italy where I discovered designer frames were cheaper).
The problem is designer sunglasses are expensive and my wallet can't keep up with the latest trends and colors. I am not one of those people who wears the same basic pair with every look. I like to experiment and match my sunglasses to my outfit, or even my mood.
Well, there is exciting news for people like me... I recently discovered Ditto's Endless Eyewear. It's like Netflix for your face!
Basically, you sign up and pay a monthly fee, which gives you access to unlimited designer glasses and sunglasses. Hello heaven! So, for less than the cost of these pink Prada lovelies, which retail for $385, I can have a year's worth of all the Prada's, Karen Walker's, Dolce and Gabbana's, Illesteva's, and Zac Posen's I want (plus many more).
What I love most about this idea is the flexibility and fun you can have with it. While I love these pink Prada's, I would never buy them in real life. If I was going to spend more than $300 on sunglasses, I would get something more neutral that would go with everything and look a bit more timeless. But now I can have my cake and eat it too. I can try all of the latest trends with zero commitment. I just send them back and pick out something new when I get tired of them. Seriously, why didn't I think of this?
Want to try? Ditto is offering one month free with the code HISTORYINHIGHHEELS. I promise, you will be hooked. The hardest part is figuring out which pair you want to try first. But don't worry, they have an online try-on system and personal stylists if you need help.
Is anyone else as excited about this as I am?
PS - It is so nice to be able to wear heels again!
