Bag Blaze (Review & Giveaway)

A few years ago, long before I had major responsibilities, I had an addiction to handbags. It was pretty serious. My collection of gorgeous, pricey bags have since found themselves in storage, because I have very little time to play handbag switcharoo day after day. I can't remember the last time I bought a new handbag. The brands I love so well, I can no longer afford (well, not when the little one is outgrowing pants and shoes every other week!). I have no desire to carry around a cheap or cheap-looking handbag, so I've been sticking with my sister's motto, which is, 'If you can't afford the real deal, you're just not meant to have it.'

Enter the coolest handbag site known to man- Bag Blaze. Daily deal sites have become pretty popular, and I am certainly no stranger to them. I love shopping for deals, especially when it means that I can teat myself to something nice, or fancy for up to less than half the original retail price! Bag Blaze fits right in with similar deal sites, offering up to 70% off on beautiful, fabulous bags to fit your needs and lifestyle!

I was overjoyed for the opportunity to work with Bag Blaze for the holidays, and got super lucky- as I was allowed to choose the style of bag that I wanted to review, out of a group of available bags. So, I headed to bagblaze.com, and selected my style and color (so many great color options with almost every style of bag available!), and sent in my selection.

Francesca Tote

Within just a few days, I had a brand new, beautiful handbag waiting for me on my front porch when I got home from an afternoon of volunteering.

I chose the Francesca Tote, because I really need a large handbag, or tote style bag. My husband thinks the size of my bags are ridiculous, until he realizes that I usually end up toting my things, his things and our son Balian's things all in one handbag! The Francesca Tote is stunning! It is available in five colors, but I chose the red, because the only red handbag that I own is a tiny little thing that I can only fit my wallet, keys and a lip gloss into.

Features of the Francesca Tote

Exquisitely luxurious and incredibly sophisticated, The Francesca Tote gives every outfits a covetable finish. The Francsca Tote has faux leather body and top flat double handles. Comes with detachable flat shoulder strap and beautifully decorated with color matching studs at base of handles and across body.

Back of the Francesca Tote- zip pocket, detachable shoulder strap...

Large zip closure pocket on the inside...

...as well as two open interior pockets.

These are perfect for holding a cell phone, lip gloss, pens, sunglasses, etc.

Even though this is a faux leather bag, it looks and feels like real leather, which I love and appreciate. It has tons (and I do mean tons) of room! It'd be the perfect bag to take on a plane as a carry-on! I can easily store and organize everything I need to take on the road, as it features two small open pockets, and one large zip closure pocket on the inside. It also features an exterior zip closure pocket.

Can you tell that I totally love this bag? I take it everywhere!

I can carry my Francesca Tote from Bag Blaze, as I would a regular bag- using the two top handles, or, if I have my hands full, I can sling it over my shoulder, using the detachable shoulder strap!

Signature lamb emblem...

Balian loves the adorable little lamb emblem on the side of the bag, and likes to feel the embellished front of the bag, as well. I have received countless compliments on my new Francesca Tote, and many gals have asked where I got it from. I have been more than happy to send them the link to Bag Blaze, and share that they, too, can score great bags like this one at awesome prices!
