Jo Totes - Fashionable Camera Bags + Giveaway

I purchased a "good" camera when Evan was about 10 months old because I didn't trust my ancient point and shoot to capture all of those special moments that I wanted to document. At the same time, I got a bulky, ugly, black bag to keep my new gear safe. I have since been introduced to Jo Totes and their Fashionable Camera Bags for women. After some debate, I finally decided on the Gracie Bag in Magenta.

Features:

• Exterior material: soft, top quality faux leather in magenta
• Interior fabric: gray silky cotton
• Protective foam sewn into the lining of all four sides and bottom of the bag, with extra padding on the main two thirds of the bag
• Four protective metal feet
• Removable shoulder strap
• Removable cross body strap
• Removable shoulder pad
• Four adjustable interior pads
• Main compartment closes with a zipper
• Exterior: two front pockets with magnetic button closures, one large front pocket with a zippered closure, one back pocket that includes a zippered compartment and a quick-access non-zippered compartment
• Interior: zippered iPad pocket on one side of the bag and another zippered pocket for your phone and keys on the other side; four removable pads that attach to the sides and bottom of the bag by means of Velcro, allowing you to fashion your own compartments to accommodate your specific equipment
• Size: 13" x 13.25" x 4.74"

I'm not a photographer. I'm a mom. A blogging mom. Who happens to take her camera everywhere. I was sick of toting around my big, ugly, black bag and have loved my new, chic camera bag even more than I thought I would. It came with several removable pads so that I could customize the inside, a long strap, and a short strap.

For now, I'm into the short strap. With that being said, I'm a woman and it is my prerogative to change my mind, so I adore the fact that it came with two straps. With blogging comes hundreds of emails that need to be sorted each day. My iPad is never far away and the Gracie bag has a pouch specifically for it. While it works, it is definitely a snug fit with my protective cover on it.

The bag is 13" x 13.25" x 4.74" and has plenty of space for all of my accessories. I have two extra lenses, the battery charger, my camcorder,iPad, and the USB cord.

The Gracie Bag also comes with several pockets to stash my keys, phone, or whatever else I'm toting around that day. This is the back of the bag. I absolutely adore it and it is the perfect size for my needs.
