Snapshots from Home

I took my SLR up with me to the mountains this weekend. 

Turns out, I got quiet a few pictures that I absolutely loved.

The Red Bowl that I loved as a kid, still holds everything to make perfect biscuits.

I'm getting homesick again. 

on the HUNT!!

After I got my shiny new camera for Christmas, I've been itching to take it outside. However, I'm scared to do so until I have a *PADDED* camera bag to give it a safe cushioned home. That being said, I've found that I'm a bit picky about what I want in a new camera bag.

The Requirements:

1: No cloth fabric

2: must have padded spaces for the camera and lens, BONUS: they're adjustable or removable

3: room for additional goodies  MUST: my iPhone, a wallet, a small snapcamera  BONUS POINTS: iPad space!

4: I dont want to SCREAM "I AM A CAMERA BAG PLEASE STEAL ME!"

5: I want it to be pretty. Easy enough to wear that it looks like it "goes" with my outfit. :)

6: it needs to have two "sets" of handles. One that I can carry like a purse, and the other for slinging it across my body.

Ladies and gents: this is harder than I imagined it would be. Ugh, but I am starting to find a few that I like

 This little darling from Jo*totes ($109) is more the color range I was thinking of. I tend to stick to brightly colored flats (the brown would work) or rainbows, and if I do dare into black flats, I think the brown is dark enough to work. Normally, I'm not a big fan of exterior pockets though, so It's definitely a give and take. (The interior blue is super cute though!)

Another cute number from Epiphanie. The Lyric bag (in plum) is $155, and definitely stylish. I love the knotted straps. The purple is another bright color, but with how much I wear, it might as well be neutral. I think it would work with black or brown shoes, dont you?



13*4*15
Inside Specs:
Adjustable velcro panels, removable cross body straps, exterior pocket for ipad, exterior pockets for other goodies.






Fifth:

detachable cross body strap, removeable padded insert, exterior pockets, possible ipad room
