One of the great things about blogging is that I get introduced to new products all the time and I love sharing them with you, but only if it’s something I know I would use on a regular basis and if I can honestly vouch for its quality. That’s why I’m so excited to be partnering up with Donna Bella Designs to introduce you to the Olivia leather tote. The minute I lay eyes on this stylish and functional bag, I knew it was the perfect everyday bag for me. The smooth leather, the simple and clean design, the high level of craftsmanship, all of these stood out to me.
I remember back when I used to work full time and I was always lugging my laptop around. I was on the search for a stylish but professional looking laptop bag at the time and I was never able to find one to my liking. The Olivia tote is roomy enough to easily fit an iPad or laptop without being bulky. The functional interior is also a plus for the working woman. And now, as a mom who’s always on the go, taking my kids from one activity to another, I still need a bag that will not only hold an iPad or laptop for those times that I’m sitting around waiting for my kids to finish their activity, but I also need room for all the “mom essentials” that I always bring with me in case my girls have a need for them (i.e. snacks, wipes, tissues, etc.). I can’t think of a more suitable and stylish bag for the working woman and the woman on-the-go.

I haven’t stumbled upon many other bloggers in the area. I connected with Fancy Stuff and Pretty Things and we’re like 10 minutes from each other! It would be fun to have a metro Detroit bloggers meet-up.
That would be so fun! 🙂
