The Tory Burch Robinson mini satchel is a smaller version of Tory Burch’s wildly popular Robinson satchel. This cute little handbag offers the same functionality as the larger version, at a smaller yet practical size. Love!

When one thinks of a mini satchel, one thinks of an extremely tiny handbag which can carry a set of keys, small wallet, and smart phone. Not the case with the Tory Burch Robinson mini satchel! This cute little handbag has the interior capacity of a regular,  medium sized handbag.

As you can see in the photos above, the Tory Burch Robinson mini satchel can easily fit a wallet, keys, lipstick, sunglasses, phone, and a novel with room to spare. I have also carried three iPad mini’s for my children inside of my Tory Burch Robinson mini satchel along with my wallet, keys, sunglasses, lipstick and phone. Now THAT’s interior capacity at it’s best!

The Tory Burch Robinson mini satchel is made from sturdy saffiano leather. This type of leather is a life-saver during the fall and winter months. Since we are experiencing an El Nino year here in Northern California, we have been getting a ton of rain. The saffiano leather is fabulous in the rain! It repels the water, keeps everything inside dry, and does not get ruined. In fact, you cannot tell my satchel has been in a downpour. This is perfection!

The Tory Burch Robinson mini satchel is also lightweight; so you can stuff it full of things you need without it already weighing a ton. This beautiful handbag can be worn three ways; as a shoulder bag with the two top handles down, carried by hand, or draped over the forearm for a chic look which displays your handbag. As a handbag addict, I prefer to wear mine on my forearm; but since I have three kids, I find myself throwing it over my shoulder often. I love the versatility!

The interior of the Tory Burch Robinson mini satchel offers ample organization. Unlike most mini bags which usually have one pocket or less, the mini Robinson offers a three tiered pocket on one side, and a zipper pocket on the other side. This allows a place for your phone, receipts, keys, or anything small you want to keep separate from the main compartment of the handbag.

There is also a detachable shoulder strap on the Tory Burch Robinson mini satchel. This detachable shoulder strap can be left on to give you the versatility you need on the go, or removed for a dressier, classic satchel look.

If you are looking for an IT bag, the Tory Burch Robinson satchel in both the regular, and mini sizes, is an IT bag on the handbag world. This beautiful handbag is carried by Tory Burch every season in both classic colors, as well as seasonal hues.

I absolutely love my Tory Burch Robinson mini satchel, and am currently eyeing the larger version. My Robinson satchel is Iceberg, a seasonal color for winter, and is currently on sale here. You can find the Tory Burch Robinson mini satchel in a variety of colors online here, here, here, and here.

I hope you love your Tory Burch Robinson mini satchel as much as I do!

Poncho for winter

There is something about a poncho for winter which is both chic and cozy at the same time. I love how a poncho instantly elevates a casual look into an effortless, yet very put together, ensemble.

I am thrilled I bought this poncho for winter since it is comfortable, and very warm! Ponchos normally seem semi-warm when I view them on the hanger at the store, or in a photo online, but this poncho defies all logic. It has hidden sleeves! Love that!

The hidden sleeves allow this poncho to act like a sweater, yet look like a poncho. Most ponchos are wide open, allowing the cold air to circulate underneath, which results in a cover-up which is for looks only; no warmth. Not this poncho! This poncho is warm like a sweater, because it has hidden sleeves!

The colors on this poncho for winter are perfect too. I love the burgundy, purple, and green yarn mixed together. It creates a cool looking color which works well with blue accessories, burgundy accessories, or classic black, which I chose to pair it with in the above photos.

I would also like to give a shout-out to these booties by Rag & Bone. If you have been following along, you may have noticed I wear these booties a lot! I purchased them last year, and have found myself wearing them during the fall, and winter seasons quite often. They have a lot f cushioning inside, as well as ample arch support. This makes these booties extremely comfortable. I wear them from 7am until 9pm without any foot pain. I have even chased ( I mean RUN) after my kids while wearing them! How often can you say that about a heeled bootie??? If you are looking for a comfortable bootie, I highly recommend this pair. They can be found online here.

Thanks for stopping by, and stay warm this season!

XOXO

Nars Black Fire nail polish review

nars black fire nail polish review for winter

Pictured: Nars Black Fire nail polish from the Steven Klein beauty collection for winter.

Nars Black Fire nail polish is a an almost-black nail hue from Nars Steven Klein beauty collection. This special winter beauty collection features colors with that WOW factor. I have loved all three of the nail polish hues from this collection! Read my reviews of Night Creature and Hard to Get.

Black Fire by Nars is incredible alternative to plain black nail polish. This deep, dark color is more of a charcoal than a black. There are matte sparkles in the nail polish which add dimension. Nars Black Fire nail polish also has a very slight blue tone to it; making it an incredible, unique nail polish color. Love!

I tested out Nars Black Fire nail polish with one base coat, two coats of Black Fire, and one top coat. The polish lasted a full week; although I tend to credit this amazing top coat for the longevity of any nail polish I test out lately. The only reason I needed to repaint my nails was due to nail growth. I never received a chip in Black Fire! Love that!

Nars Black Fire nail polish is a great polish to keep in one’s nail polish wardrobe. Although a winter hue, Black Fire is a neutral color which can be worn during any season. It works with both warm and cold color palettes; acting as classic as black can be. Now that is perfection 😉

I am looking forward to wearing Narc Black Fire nail polish any time I need an edgy neutral to compliment my look.

For a holiday look, I would recommend topping off Nars Black Fire nail polish with a silver, glittery top coat such as this one.

Nars Black Fire nail polish, and the rest of the Steven Klein for Nars beauty collection, can be found online here.
