Chloe Jodie camera bag in navy blue suede for spring 2016

The Chloe Jodie handbag is the ultra cute, and casual, camera style bag first revealed on the spring 2016 Chloe runway. This cute little bag offers style, function, and sassy, casual style. Love it!

Denim, athleisure, and military are all hot casual trends for the spring season. With a trend towards casual attire, comes the need for a trend towards casual handbags. The Chloe Jodie meets that need with it’s camera styling, chain detail, small tassel, and overall look. It is the perfect handbag to grab-and-go on a daily basis.

Although small in stature, the Chloe Jodie is big on style. This handbag offers one main, large interior compartment which has a slim pocket on the back. The exterior offers three pockets; one of which is covered by the flap closure in the front, and two on the sides which have their own flap closures. These pockets are handy for storing small items you may want to grab without fiddling with the main compartment. The bag is very user-friendly!

I purchased the suede Chloe Jodie for spring since I don’t really own a full suede bag. I have a couple of bags with suede on them, but the main body of those bags is smooth leather. The Chloe Jodie is full suede; I love the soft feel, and casual look, this gives the handbag.

The Chloe Jodie looks great with denim, summer shorts, casual skirts, flared pants, wrap dresses, casual mini skirts, casual maxi skirts, and athleisure ensembles. I love how this handbag elevates an otherwise casual, everyday look into something fabulous. It is perfect for turning jeans, a tee shirt, and flip flops into something special. It really is perfect for hot summer days; and weekends in general.

The interior capacity is small. The Chloe Jodie can hold a wallet, lipstick, keys, and iPhone with a little bit of room to spare. I can put my glasses in the bag, as long as they are not in their case. The case will not fit. The front pocket is perfect for receipts, or any folded paper I want to bring with me, or keep. I haven’t used the side pockets, but they seem perfect for holding gum, chapstick, or any small items I do not want getting lost inside the main compartment of the bag. The slim pocket can be used for the iPhone, or for a passport, folded paper etc.

This is a great bag for casual days when I don’t need to carry a lot of things with me. It has become my casual go-to bag!

The strap on the Chloe Jodie offers a split between chain and leather. The leather, or in my case suede, portion of the strap is on top; flanked by a chain strap on the sides. This is really comfortable to wear and the strap stays put on my shoulder without sliding off. Love that!

As far as weight goes, the Chloe Jodie is lightweight when empty, so when I add items into the purse, it is still a comfortable weight, and feels fairly light. It is a lighter bag than the Faye. I would compare it’s weight to the Drew.

The Chloe Jodie is a new handbag style from Chloe for the spring 2016 season. This beautiful, casual handbag is showing longevity, and will be a part of Chloe’s ongoing collection. It is the ideal casual handbag; especially with the move towards casual trends for fall such as altheleisure, moto, western, and the continuing 1970s influence.

I am looking forward to wearing my Chloe  Jodie camera bag for many seasons to come! I rate the Chloe Jodie handbag five out of five stars!

Lipstick: c/o Dolce & Gabbana Dolce Rosa for spring 2016

Dolce Rosa is a new, fabulous lipstick color from Dolce & Gabbana for the spring 2016 season. Dolce & Gabbana Dolce Rosa lipstick is a vivid pink hue which blends perfectly with the designing duo’s spring 2016 nail polish color Bonbon. The two look perfect together!

Vivid pink nail polish, and lipstick, is a hot trend in beauty for the spring 2016 season. So it is no wonder that Dolce & Gabbana Dolce Rosa lipstick is the perfect color for the warm weather season. I love how it looks on; this pink can be worn during the day, or for evening occasions. Love that! Dolce Rosa can also be worn now, and into the summer season. Now how’s that for perfection?!

Dolce & Gabbana Dolce Rosa lipstick is a matte lipstick which glides on smoothly. The lipstick is long lasting, does not run, does not smudge, and does not move a muscle. I love lipstick that stays where I put it!

I also love how moisturizing Dolce & Gabbana Dolce Rosa matte lipstick is on the lips. I do not need to apply Chapstick, or any lip balm before applying Dolce Rosa. This lipstick is perfect on it’s own; without any help from a base or moisturizer. Simplicity is everything.

This is a lipstick I plan to wear on a daily basis throughout the season. Dolce Rosa matte lipstick is the perfect pink color! I am definitely in love!

I rate Dolce & Gabbana Dolce Rosa lipstick for spring 2016, five out of five stars!

Chanel Chaine Or nail polish review

Pictured: Chanel Chaine Or nail polish from the longwear polish collection.

Chanel Chaine Or nail polish is a beautiful, bold, gold nail polish hue from Chanel’s new, and reformulated, longwear nail polish collection. This bright, gold hue is perfect to wear now, as we move into warmer weather, and again during the holiday season. It is a light-hearted, festive nail polish shade perfect for celebrating holidays, or life in general!

The Chanel long wear nail polish collection includes fifteen new, reformulated nail polishes in both new colors, and best-selling colors. The improved, 5-free formula, includes bioceramics, and ceramides which are known to improve the quality of the nail. I love the fact that Chanel nail polishes are made from good, safe ingredients which are not harmful, yet still deliver a chip-free manicure experience.

Chaine Or nail polish by Chanel is a fabulous first color to try from the new longwear collection. It is a versatile color which is easy to wear on a daily basis, or for special occasions. Gold matches everything! Love that!

I tested out Chanel Chaine Or nail polish with one base coat, two coats of longwear color, and one top coat. The new nail polish formula performed just as well as it’s predecessor. When my nails grew after one week, I changed my nail polish which was chip-free, due to my nail growth. I love long lasting polish!

Chanel Chaine Or longwear nail polish is a bold, bright gold hue which is anything but shy. This color is definitely attention getting, and fun to wear! It sparkles in the sunshine, and enhances any metal color ring. I love the look of metallic nail polish when paired with a bold, statement ring. It really brings all the colors together beautifully.

I am really excited about Chanel’s new longwear nail polish collection. There are so many colors, I am not sure I will be able to buy them all. I will pick out a few, and review them for you. If you see any colors from the collection you would like me to review, please let me know in the comments below. In the meantime, enjoy Chanel Chaine Or nail polish! It is such a pretty color, and it is a great staple to keep in your nail polish collection for special occasions, holidays, and any day you feel festive!
