A little advice from Iris…

“I say, dress to please yourself. Listen to your inner muse and take a chance. Wear something that says “Here I am!” today.”- Iris Apfel

After searching for hours on Google for a chic and trendy camera bag, I stumbled upon THEIT’s website which features the cutest, black quilted and gold-metal hardware camera purse called the Bossi. I say purse, because, let’s face it–it’s more like a purse than a camera bag. Below are a few reasons why I think any fashion blogger, or trendy chic who has a DSLR needs a THE IT camera purse.

It has compartments: My Bossi comes with customizable padded foam dividers that allow you to protect your lens and camera body so that they don’t rub or hit against anything inside the bag. I keep two lenses, a zoom + a 50mm telephoto, and my camera’s body inside at all times. Not only that, but it allows me to keep my makeup bag, wallet, and travel size comb without interfering with the camera.

It gives you options: The bag’s classic satchel style allows it to be worn in different ways. I like to wear mine clutched on my arm. When it gets too heavy, I opt for the cross-body style option.

It’s light-weight: For its size, the Bossi weighs about 1.2 lbs.

It’s attractive: Not only is it conventional and convenient, but it’s covetable. I’ve been stopped while making my way through Miami just to have people ask me “where’d you get your bag?” only to see them surprised when I open it, and tell them about its true purpose.

So whether you’re a blogger or not, THEIT’s Bossi has the FRS stamp of approval. What do you think about the Bossi?

Sometimes you need to drift off the map for a bit to refresh your creative senses. I felt like I was in a plato and for some reason, I had lost inspiration and well, motivation. As a result of keeping to myself and focusing on my goals, I’ve recharged my brain cells with some fresh new fashions, literature and style! So, without further ado– I’m back!
