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!

High School Musical 3...and the Mini-Superstar!

The alarm clock downstairs rang announcing today was the day for High School Musical 3 and the mini-superstar living in our basement. Today was the big day. My second child was selected as an "extra" in the filming of High School Musical 3 . Oh, he was excited. He took forever getting ready. Shower, then an extra-long facial, followed by hair gel, hair spray, and my guess, cologne as well. He put on his brown cargo pants and Abercrombie and Fitch shirt and loaded his backpack with his change of clothes. And then, at 8:30 am he stood in the kitchen all gussied up with backpack on and ready. We had to tell him that check-in wasn't for 2-hours and settle in. I think he was sure the clocks had stopped. The excitement was killing him. Finally, it was time to go. As my husband covered instructions with him, what the money was for, where to meet for pick up, where the payphone was, here's your lunch, blah, blah, blah....my son's only response was, "Can...

Desert Thunder--Speedway Illustrated December 2009

Image
 Long before the Modified Circuit knew him, I met him. It was a long, long time ago...almost 25 years ago. He was seventeen a legend in motor-cross and destined for greater things than he'd ever imagined I met him in a sterile hospital with over-polished floors. The decor a bland grey and muted blue . I was sixteen, he was seventeen. It was seven weeks since our birthday. I don't remember him before that moment. I've written about him several times in my blog. Perhaps you remember " Reflections of a Friendship " or " Best Friends". To see him now, featured on the cover of Speedway Magazine's December 2009 issue is impressive. It's not anything I ever doubted he could do. It's not something that defines him to me. It's something that shares with the world the man I most admire--the man who is more whole, more complete than any other person I have been fortunate to meet. Enjoy this tribute written by Mike Adaskaveg and published by Speedwa...
