Not my bag baby….
Well, actually that is not true. It is my bag. My Bella bag. And the best part is…I won it!!! My blogging buddy Sognatrice over at Bleeding Espresso ran a contest….and she picked my name as the winner. You think I was excited when I won…imagine how excited I was to find my new bag waiting for me on the doorstep. It felt like Christmas….I had no idea what the bag was going to look like. There a few surprises in life…and it felt so good to have one.
The bags are all handmade…from scratch. Just take a look at the fabric. Just my style…
And the inside has a little zippered pocket for a cell phone, keys…whatever…
When I *talked* to Sognatrice, I told her that I loved the bag…and said I would be posting it on my blog and showing a few pictures. She asked me if I would model it. Hmm..you know how I am about being camera shy, so I enlisted the help of a professional, who was glad to volunteer. I think this will satisfy her request.
Here he is folks, the next undiscovered talent hailing from Milan, modeling my new Bella bag….
And here he is in a real life reenactment, peering inside *searching for keys*…just look at those cheekbones…
And for those of you familiar with the movie Zoolander…Chris made me take a picture of his best ‘Blue Steel’. *I think it started to go to his head*
Be careful what you wish for Sognatrice. This is disturbing on so many levels.

Just wondering…..will cute little You-Know-Who fit in that awesome new bag of yours?
Great minds think alike!

Actually Chouzy, I considered that too for a picture because I think she would fit…but I wanted the bag in one piece and I think she would not have sit still for one hot second
