I told you I'd share more about my Kelly Moore Mimi bag. You might remember that I had the Posey bag in gray (I reviewed it here). Recently I ran into some issues with it (the magnets in the lining had come unglued) and requested either a repair or exchange. After I was offered an exchange, I asked if it was possible to pay the difference and get a different bag. And they agreed! So, I chose the Mimi in gray.

I love this bag for lots of reasons. It looks classic and it's so versatile. It's huge and fits so much gear! There's plenty of room for my camera, an extra lens, plus all my stuff. It even zips up with my Nalgene water bottle in it, which I carry everywhere. I'm excited to use it as a diaper bag and I know it will work perfectly. It (like all Kelly Moore bags) comes with customizable velcro dividers to organize the bag however I want. I even made a pocket for my cell phone by attaching one of the dividers to the inside wall of the bag. The faux leather is a really beautiful quality and even on my Posey bag, which I had for about 6 months, it showed no wear.

The pockets are super convenient. I use the two front zipper pockets for Tums (always with me these days!), gum, and lipstick. There's a back envelope pocket that fits an iPad (I use it for my notebook and Bible for church) and a large zippered pocket which I use for pens and other odds and ends.

I'd say the only downside is that it's a pretty heavy bag, even when I have very little in it. It comes with a messenger bag strap, which I will definitely use when I have it filled. You can find out more about the bag and see Kelly demonstrating it via video here. 

In other news:: I am getting sad thinking about having just a few more weeks of outfit pictures here in Hawaii. Chris and I were talking about discovering new places to take pictures in Florida. I have a guess that it won't be as easy as walking across the street to the water though!

Don't you love the colors in this outfit? Makes me feel giddily alive when I wear such vibrant colors and breezy skirts. Are you loving the warmer weather these days??

PS. Linking up with the beautiful Lindsey of The Pleated Poppy!
