It's Day 2 of our Five Days of Fabulous series ladies!
I'm teaming up with Shay again, and today is brought to you by Barrington Gifts!
AND GET THIS.
You can win a Barrington bag for yourself AND 7 FRIENDS.
I know.
It's hard to believe.
But it's true.
THANK YOU BARRINGTON!
All 8 winners will get to pick a St. Anne tote or Savannah zippered tote of her choice.
You can even pick the leather tote if you wish, but you can also pick any fall pattern or something from the monogram stripe collection!
The graphic shows just a small number of options!
And not only has Barrington graciously hosted this contest, they've also offered us a 10% OFF code!
Use the code PTMTSAVE10 for 10% OFF your order!
It thought you might want to see some of their items in action, so I have some outfit pictures for you!
Here I am with my newest tote: the Savannah.
similar military jacket / white tee / similar jeans from same maker / leopard booties (order 1/2 a size up) / earrings / crescent moon pendant necklace / Savannah ziggurat tote c/o barrington
Here's my St. Anne tote in the Florentine leather c/o Barrington.
similar military jacket / white tee / similar jeans from same maker / leopard booties (order 1/2 a size up) / earrings / crescent moon pendant necklace
Here's a side by side of both totes with the same outfit.
Like I just mentioned, the Savannah tote (on the right) is now my favorite tote.
It's a tiny bit smaller than the St. Anne, it has a zipper, and it has more structure. I like it more for those 3 reasons.
Now don't get me wrong, I still love my St. Anne, but personally, I now just prefer my Savannah.

And I adore my new $20 pendant necklace!!!!

I looked back through my blog and found lots of posts when I had featured a Barrington bag!
I think this was when I showed my leather tote for the first time.

St. Anne Florentine Leather tote c/o Barrington.
But now that I've carried a Savannah myself and have seen the Savannah in the florentine leather because a friend has it, I can say I like it even more!
Here are some denim jacket choices that are currently available, all from the same maker of my beloved MUST HAVE denim jacket.

Here's a close-up pic of my bag.
I don't know if this is TOTALLY weird or not (although I have a hunch that it is), but I love just putting my bag on the kitchen counter, laying it on the stairs, throwing it over the back of a chair....whatever.
I love to see it casually strewn about in my house.
I think of it like decor.
Beautiful leather decor.
And just so we're clear, I just read what I wrote, and I'm now fully aware I sound like a crazy person.
(Please ignore my crazy, and just look at my sweet dog.)
And like I mentioned, my friend has the Savannah (smaller than my St. Anne and has a zipper) in the florentine leather, and I like it even better than mine. It has more structure, and it's just plain gorgeous.
And it just gets more and more beautiful with age.
St. Anne Florentine Leather pictured / Savannah zippered Florentine leather can be found HERE
And here's my Savannah tote in one of the new fun fall patterns (that I'll actually carry all year long).

And even though it's not included in the giveaway, don't forget that their monogram stripe Buchanan laptop cases (as seen below) make AWESOME Christmas gifts! You choose the pattern, the color, and the monogram stripe! And as you can see, if you want a real WOW FACTOR gift, you could get a matching St. Anne tote and Buchanan laptop case.
If you want your laptop case from the monogram stripe collection (like mine above, or like any in the bottom row in the Santa Alert below), click HERE and then pick your color, pattern, and monogram!
It's ONLY $70 which I think is amazing for such a high quality and personalized product!!!
If you want to see all of the other options (the $60 options $65 with monogram), click HERE.
The options are pretty much endless (just a small number of options shown below).
These make AMAZING and THOUGHTFUL gifts!
If you pay attention to the middle row, it would be easy to get one of these based upon college or sorority colors (lots of other choices on their site).
I also have the expandable folio c/o Barrington.
As you can see, it fits nicely into my St. Anne Florentine Leather Tote (click HERE for the entire Florentine leather collection).
And it holds my Erin Condren planner quite nicely.
If you have a small laptop, it would hold that also!
It is so great because if I ever switch bags, it just lifts right out of one and drops easily into another! It helps keep everything organized so nicely and in it's place. I really like having an organized and clean bag!
I also have a couple of reader pictures and e-mails from a previous post.
Hi Sheaffer,
Like most women, I have a collection of handbags. As a daytime high school educator and part time college professor, I needed a tote that would allow me to carry my life (and laptop) around with some semblance of style. Enter the Barrington tote that I purchased this summer. I.LOVE.THIS.BAG. The leather just gets better as it ages and I can carry my make-up, wallet, an umbrella, extra pair of flats, laptop, phone, books, etc., etc., etc. And my monogrammed initial tab is the icing on the cake for me. I mean, it's all about the monogram and who doesn't want icing on their cake that won't add inches to their hips!
Love! Love! Love!

If you are a new mama, or are about to be a new mama, their diaper bags are legit.
Here's an e-mail from a reader about her diaper bag!
Hey Sheaffer!!
