January 2013 Bag

My Very First Lbb!!

So I decided to jump on the band wagon and explore the world of Little Black Bag. I stalked the site for days before I committed to an item. Once I saw the Elise Hope Satchel I gave in. Lbb gave me 3 extra items (I got a free gift for signing up) and then of course I purchased an extra item :)

The Elise Hope Structured Satchel in Taupe

I loved this bag when I saw it on lbb!! I had to have it. And I still love it in person. Roomy, great color and the lining is a fun animal print. I was offered amazing trades for this bag but I could not give it up. I am happy with my pick.

So, after my pick they added in 3 items some of which I traded off for other things I liked.....

Spring Street Fringe Hoop Earrings

I wasn't 100% sure about these earrings when someone offered to trade me but I am so glad that I did!! They are beautiful in person. I wore these to work and the compliments came rolling in. They sparkle, hang nice and low without the weight and are a true statement piece. Love them!!

Michael Marcus Subtle Nail Polish

I believe this polish was my free gift from lbb. I got some trade offers for other colors but hung onto this since I am big on soft neutral shades. In the picture it looked a little more pink and in person def more peach. However, its a nice color and truly is subtle like its name. It took a few coats to cover nicely and did have long staying power with no chipping. The bottle is nice and the little box is great for storing but honestly if I saw this in a store I would have never bought it. But I guess that's the wonderful thing about lbb, you get to try things you would have never tried before.

Punch Fringe Bar Earrings

These earrings were offered to me as a trade. I really like these. They are big enough to make a statement with just the right amount of sparkle. These you could wear with a white tee/jeans or something more dressy. Very versatile. The only downfall, they are heavy and pull on my ears which I'm not super happy about but all in all I really like them and glad they are mine :)

Betsey Johnson Dog Stud Earrings

Last but not least are these ADORABLE Betsey Johnson bulldog earrings. I added these into my cart by paying extra. Still a great deal at about 50% off retail. I tried to trade but it was unsuccessful. Now I have to start by saying they look exactly like my American Bulldog, Meesha (pictured below). I love them and now I have a pair of earrings that can show off my love for dogs in a super cute way. 

Now tell me those earrings don't look like her...lol :)

As you can tell my bag was mostly earrings but my next bag (Feb 2013) is a mix of items and is on it's way to me now. I can't wait to share it!! Please comment and let me know what you thought of my January bag and also some of the things you have received and/or love about littleblackbag.com 

Feel free to share your blog links too :) 

Until next time, happy little black bagging!!!!
