My go-to bag for running errands!

" I love these DN mini bags so much, I own them in 3 colors. I have 2 old version ones (w/o the extra detail under front pocket/"Danielle Nicole" writing) in teal and pewter, so I thought I'd try this newer version in cobalt blue. They are so little and light, it feels like you have nothing on. It just fits your phone, a few cards, and maybe a lip balm/keys, as there's no depth to it, but that's enough for me much of the time. (Perfect when you're traveling/at festivals/concert - & a great alternative to wristlets.) The new version is a little more grained/textured and more matte, which is nice; I personally can do w/o the logo, but that's just me.

I'm 5'4", and the strap tends to be a little long on me (it's not adjustable). So I usually end up folding it neatly/glueing a couple of inches at the bottom to shorten it, as I don't like the tied strap look.

All in all it's a great go-to bag that doesn't hurt my shoulder (I have fibromyalgia and my body's always sore). The only points off for the cobalt color one is that the zipper pull/hardware is very light/pale gold, which almost looks like silver, and the other fixtures (strap clips, D-rings to attach the strap) are very yellow gold, so they kind of look mismatched. Minor detail, but I wish they'd gotten that right. For cool colors like cobalt, I wish the hardware were all silver. "

My search is over!

" I'd been looking for that elusive perfect pair of OTK boots, and my search is finally over!! All the ones I'd tried before (pull-ons) gave me too much room around my legs, they looked kind of silly. Because of the zipper around the ankles these don't have that problem. With denim leggings, these are utterly perfect, OTK or folded down. I got them in black, and the pictures on the site make them look a little distressed, but they're not, which was actually a pleasant surprise for me as that makes them more versatile. The black color is very even and they look very classy. I'm 5'4" w/ relatively short legs, and they come up to the top of my kneecaps - so if you're taller and want your boots to go up higher, they may not be for you. Otherwise, I'd highly recommend! "
