Emilie M. Riley 3 Compartment Purse Review

 Emilie M Handbags will be launching this fall and they're changing how I view handbags.

I've been using the Riley 3-compartment double shoulder bag in black and raking in the compliments. I chose the bag because of it's classic color and size. It goes with everything and as we gear up for our favorite season, the Emilie M. Riley bag is the perfect size to keep my girlie stuff at hand and store whatever the kiddos collect at Fall Festivals.

It looks pretty darn fab! I love the textures and if you could touch it, it is S-O-F-T!

The inside lining is incredible. We're talking soft satiny material that complements the bag's out side. It's done in blues with a soft aqua hue. It makes reaching into the bag an experience.

There are two outer compartments on the Riley. They secure closed with a zipper. Each compartment is as deep as the purse. It holds an 8"x10" piece of paper with ease.

The Riley has a center pocket that is also as deep as the bag. This pocket has a smaller zipper pocket inside as well as two smaller pockets without zippers. All three compartments have the same interior fabric.

The picture above shows the texture of the top of the bag. It sorta resembles snake skin. The bag is two toned. Mine is black on top of a deep brown.

While the bag is large, it is surprisingly light. I love this feature because the kiddos and I can easily fill this bag up and toting it is much easier without the bulky weight included in most bags this size.

On the down side, the bag relies on its rectangular bottom to hold it upright. I wish this bag had some sort of support to help it stand upright better on its own.

About Emilie M.

From Madison Avenue down to SoHo, we know how hard it is for women to find the perfecthandbag  - one that fits their life in every pocket while accentuating their own personality. Launched in collaboration with Mondani Handbags & Accessories, Emilie M features timeless silhouettes, soft and rich animal-friendly materials and multi-organizational function. An easy weekend bag for a trip to the Hamptons. An attainable fashion statement for the mom on a budget. At a retail range of $50-$80, every Emilie M handbag is an investment piece without the investment.

The Riley is modern, stylish purse with a classic vibe. It is roomy and lightweight. Once the Emilie M. store opens its doors (Early August 2012), the Riley 3-Compartment bag will retail for $80.

While I chose the Riley, there are other bags in the Emilie M. collection of handbags. All can be viewed on the  Emilie M. Pinterest page.

September 2008 Issue of Family Fun

 I always wanted to write. To be a travel journalist, live like a resident, see it as a tourist. It hasn't worked out that way so far... Someday... In the meantime, check out page 80 in the September issue of Family Fun Magazine. In the box on the lower left-hand side of the page is my idea! I love Family Fun Magazine. We have subscribed to it since my second child was born, some fifteen years ago. It's changed some, and some not. It has excellent articles and they are all geared towards being a family...I love that! My favorite section is the cooking articles. I love to try new recipes and FF gears theirs so I can actually cook a great recipe with simplicity so the kiddos can do most of the work! Again, page 80...check it out!

Best Friends: A Reunion After 14 Years

 It had been a long, long time. Unbelievably, time did NOT standstill. People came and went in our lives. It had been fourteen years since I last saw the person who forever will be known as "MY BEST FRIEND." There's no need to hide anything. I was nervous. Those five tenants who rented my uterus for nine months at a time were less than friendly to my body. Not that it should matter, he saw my best and worst side for two years, and now should be no different. Saturday time DID standstill. It seemed to drag on and on. I was introduced to his son. It was like looking through a time machine...he had the same hands, fingers, and fingernails as his dad and his bottom lip matched his. They had the same neck and the shape of their eyes. Wow! Genes are pretty amazing ! I stood against the chain link fence, #72 embedded in my line of vision. He was at the starting line and I was ready to watch him race . It would be the first time I'd seen him race--something he loved. This was

Sometimes Waiting Isn't the Worst Thing

We were giddy and today we learned Sometimes Waiting Isn't the Worst Thing. My grandma called this morning around 11am. She had some errands to run and then she'd be by to visit. She comes over once a week. I usually do her hair and we drink coffee and enjoy being women . My two smaller children were so excited. They refused to nap exclaiming they were waiting for " Charlotte the Great "! By Noon, they were wired from their sleepiness and in need of a nap. So, I promised when Charlotte the Great came, I'd wake them up. By 1pm I was restless. Where was she? My stomach was upset, I contributed this to the six pieces of Hershey's Bliss I'd devoured while waiting. And still...I waited. I really had no place to go, but by 1:30 pm I was feeling like I was late. Like I needed to be somewhere. I think I was just bored and looking forward to "girl time" had me anxious. Then it happened. About 1:57 pm the phone rang. My Grandma on the o
