Ladies, you know what you wear speaks to those around you – in fact, you fashionistas love fashion for this reason! It’s a way to express yourself – all the way down to your bag. Dawn Papandrea of iVillage.com reveals that carrying too big of a bag isn’t just bad for your shoulders – it’s bad for your image. That’s where chickdowntown.com comes into play.

Instead of carrying a big heavy tote, which gives off the impression that its wearer is as disorganized as the contents of her purse – Dawn recommends carrying a lighter load and tote. The Blake Bag by CC Skye is lighter, still practical and most definitely chic.
Thanks, Dawn, for recognizing our awesome bag!


















Great advice and cute tote! I love the purple and that it is still so practical – I can still fit my favorite novel in there!
I think it’s a perfect size (and color!)
Love the color and size!!
Estey, I’m with you there – as long as I can fit my current read in a bag, I’m good to go.
Roxy and Stephanie, isn’t the color great? Vibrant hues are definitely a spring/summer 2009 bag trend.
I love that color!! Gorgeous!
It’s a beautiful bag, congrats on the shout-out.
I love the color! It is so vibrant
Glad you guys all love the bright colored bag. You know another great one I love? The Bugel bag by Kotur in orange – it reminds me of evenings on the beach!
