Hi All!

So I’ve been trying to decide on what new bag that I want for my belated birthday present from the Hubs.  My eyes are on the Tory Burch Robinson satchel and Tory Burch Robinson tote (double zip).  Both are top handles but also come with a longer strap for cross-body use.  I love the Robinson line from Tory Burch. The material feels and looks great and is also very scratch resistant.  Either way, I’m excited for my very first Tory Burch bag.

If you’ve already noticed, the Tory Burch double zip tote is VERY similar to the Prada double zip tote.  I’ve been eyeing that one for a while now BUT it’s nearly 2K while Tory Burch is only $575.  I like that I’ll be able to use it for every day use and I can stick my laptop in it if I want to go to a cafe/bookstore.

Is anyone else super excited for the Hunger Games movie?  I was obsessed with the series once I discovered it about a year ago. I’m so glad that I was a late reader- I don’t know if I could have waited for each book to come out. I think I finished the series in about a week.  My co-worker was telling me about how a line of Hunger Games nail polish came out so I had to look it up. Good job China Glaze for growing their brand/business through this book!

I love seeing how books are translated into successful movies and other business ventures.  For example, Harry Potter did a good job of capturing an audience of people who did not read the books.  Also, Harry Potter Land?? Twilight, on the other hand, could have been so much better!  I could go on and on about how I would have done things differently to capture another market of fans  BUT I won’t bore you…

Anyway, I hope you’ve been having a great month and can wake up with a BEAUTYFULL smile tomorrow.

 [UPDATE] – I just posted an official review of both bags.  Check out my Tory Burch Robinson Double Zip Tote VS Robinson Satchel review!
