I'm your normal female
when it comes to my
weakness for a pretty handbag.
I can fall in love pretty quickly...
but I never buy them.
I want to keep my collection
as edited as possible.
One because it sounds cooler to say that,
but secondly -and more importantly-
we live in 750 sq ft.
Nothing that isn't essential
can fit in our home.
So, I am pretty judicious about what I haul home.
Maybe that's why when I say
I have an Ellington bag
and *like* it,
you'll know it's actually something special.
I first bought it
because it seemed like a great travel bag.
It won't get beat up,
it has lots of pockets,
and it goes from a fold-over
to a tote when I need to cram in
all the excess junk you do
when traveling.
Oh, and they don't cost a million dollars.
My MIA tote came to Iceland with me
and I realllllly liked it.
Come to find out,
these bags are a favorite among a lot of other people, too.
Maybe you'll be the next fan.
I'm really happy that one of you will win
a Mia tote bag worth $179 (just like mine)
a Mia tote bag worth $179 (just like mine)
thanks to the super cool people at Ellington.
(Thanks, Ellington!)
They nice people at Ellington are also offering
all the Aspiring Kennedy crowd
a FREE large leather pouch
with your purchase of $179 or more
when you use code
KENNEDY2014.

**Update- the pouch won't show up in your cart,
but will be added to your order.
Indicate your preferred color in the notes at purchase.
Okay, giveaway open now.
