ModernGear Woman: The bag arrived!

A few weeks ago I wrote about my great handbag purchase.

You see, Dooce had written about this great bag in pumpkin orange that was inexpensive, stylish and vegan. And she showed a picture. And I had to have it.

"If Dooce jumped off a bridge, would you?" some of you are asking. Well, no. But if Dooce made a great find, I'd jump for that!

Well, the little beauty was waiting for me on my doorstep when I got home from taking Duane to the dog park.

and I am so glad that I was able to sneak an order in before they were all snapped up. Check it out.

Well, well, well...and what have we here?!

Could it be? Is that what I think it is? Is that the Chelsea Buckle tote from Delight.com?!
For only $78.50?

Why yes, it is. This is what it looks like empty.

Here is a glimpse into the front pocket. Love the polka dot lining.

And this is how the strap goes over the top, which is, when closed, the second buckle.

And this is an attempt at showing the interior. But it's hard to do it justice. Rather, I'll illustrate the size of the bag's interior by showing you what I can comfortably put into it.

Which is, everything a video journalist type like me could possibly need in a day. Let's see, we have from the left: Moleskine agenda and notebook, then camera and extra tape, then credit card wallet, makeup bag, cell phone, and Hermés business card envelope. (It is real Hermés, given to me when I wrote this article about the store opening in Vancouver.)

And this is the tote, fully packed. I would still stick in a protein bar and bottle of water as well, and there'd still be room to spare, without it looking anywhere near over-packed.

And this is me, nibbling on the sweet treat (a Yummy Earth Organic sucker - I'll be writing about them soon) that Delight.com added in the box.

I am officially a lover of Delight, my friends. Shop there! Plus, OOOOH I almost forgot! They have more of these totes in stock now!! So you can officially jump off that bridge with me and Dooce.

Please check out Delight.com. I swear I don't work for them, I am just a huge fan of an operation that knows how to treat their customers. Award them for their excellence. Look for discount codes in my other post or online, and find all sorts of great and helpful items for gifts and for yourself.

The next thing on my wish list from Delight.com is this Eames Collage watch. Luckily, my birthday and Christmas are coming! "Oh honey..."
