Fossil was kind enough to send me this bag and I immediately fell in love with the color. It's not cherry, it's not tomato, it's not ruby or oxblood or any other fancy terms. It's as clear and true of a red as a crayon. I checked the bag's label and it's called Real Red. I like that, no crazy made-up name, just what is exactly is. This bag is pretty phenomenal, and perfect for a commuter like me. Two side zipper pockets to hold things like farecards and lip balm, and inside there is a zipper pocket on one side, and the other side five different pockets to hold anything from a Smartphone or your keys to business cards and a pack of gum. And in this bag I have my wallet, Kindle (did you enter my Kindle giveaway?), makeup bag, myAgenda, sunglasses, gloves, journal, and two reusable containers to hold my lunch. Impressive! The crossbody strap is adjustable to become a shoulderbag, or it can be removed. I know this bag is going to be used quite a lot this season!
I never understand why street style models and bloggers wear their coats on their shoulders like a cape. How can they move their arms? Why not just put on the coat? Then I realized on cold days I do this very thing - I wear the coat like a cape from the house and over my shoulders until Karl gets ready to take pictures. This way my outfit doesn't get as rumpled and I'm less likely to mess up my hair. Karl got this picture of me in the coat at the beginning of the shoot and it showcases the coat I bought last winter on a whim and still adore a year later (and it's still available at Nordstrom and now on sale!).
