In Honor of the TaTa’s Handbag Giveaway (US/CAN)

To celebrate breast cancer awareness month Makobi Scribe is hosting the In Honor of the TaTa’s event giveaway hop which will runtoday until Oct 24, 2011 11:59 pm EST.  Betty Shoe, an Australian company that ships WW, is happy to support the In Honor of the Tatas event and will be giving away this gorgeous Arabella handbag in dusty pink to one lucky winner. (US/CAN only)

Pink has always been one of my favorite colors.  When I was little I loved wearing the neon and pastel pinks, as a teenager I was more into hot pink colored accessories or decor and now as an adult I still love pink but in more muted colors in the right products.  This Arabella handbag comes in the perfect shade of dusty pink and not the dusty pink shade of the late 80’s, early 90’s that my mom loved so much but more of a very classic silvery pink shade that any modern woman would love.  To top off the modern look of this purse the exterior has a giraffe print texture with wrapped detailing around the straps and silver hardware with an added tassel to finish off the design.

This handbag has more than enough room for all of your things without compromising the style of the purse.  Being a mom to four, my handbag is usually fairly full with not only my necessities but with various kids things such as hair accessories, toys or even a diaper and a small pack of wipes.  Besides extra space, one thing I look for in a purse is a zipper closure as this one does.  Often my handbag is thrown about or when I lean over to pick up my toddler, for example, it’s easy for things to fall out of my purse; a zipper closure ensures that my things stay put.  

With all the items I carry along sometimes it’s difficult to find what I’m looking for inside my purse without searching around for awhile.  The Arabella handbag easily takes care of this problem with all the compartments it offers.  One main compartment in the middle offers the largest space for your main or larger items or things of greater importance and closes securely with a zipper.  Inside the main compartment, there are two pockets for your cell phone and sunglasses and one side zipper pocket for smaller loose items, a great place for coins.  On both sides of the main compartment but still on the interior of the handbag there are two side pockets with button closure; this is where I keep an extra diaper and a small pack of wipes for easy access but you could use these pockets for running envelopes to the mailbox or a shopping list.  On the exterior backside of the handbag there is another small zippered pocket, great for quick access items like keys.  To finish off the design, there are two button over pockets on both ends of the handbag; you could keep these just for looks or utilize these for quick access items like a cell phone where the button over closure would securely keep the cell phone inside the pocket or in a pinch you could fit a baby bottle inside.

The Arabella handbag is very well made with all seams properly finished off; the quality and designer look style of the handbag for the price is outstanding.  By adding a fitted fall jacket and this handbag to a pair of jeans, boots and a simple white fitted t-shirt; I can turn my so-so look into a fresh fall look I can feel good in.
