Spotted & Dotted (+ a Cuddly Monkey Tote Review & Giveaway!)
Gee whiz! This week is flying by, and I forgot to mention that it’s conference time for me…my long time readers know what that means, but if you’re new around these parts, let me fill you in. Twice a year, my conference holds a huge conference that pretty much consumes my life for about three months. I know…WTH? LOL! So, the madness started for me a couple weeks ago, and I’ll be up to my ears in work until August. Honestly, this time around, I’ve managed to do a much better time keeping up the blog than I normally do around this time… kudos to me! 
Anyway, today I’m showing off this super cute Cuddly Monkey “Chica Bag.” Isn’t it cute? Totes are always great summer staples, especially for all your beach goers out there! This one is awesome because it is HUGE and very sturdy! It also has great “secret” zippered outer compartment…usually toes are just big and open a.k.a. key and phone black holes, so the outer pocket comes in handy.
Since there are no beaches in Atlanta (insert sad face here), my Cuddly Monkey tote will be the perfect Blogger’s Bag o’ Tricks. Seriously, even those wide screen laptops will fit…this bag is 22″ wide and 16″ tall! Which means you can easily fit your laptop, kindle, wallet, iphone, keys, makeup bag, brush, camera, back up camera, day planner, notepad, and about 5 magazines…and you’ll still have room! LOL…and it’s just super cute! Seriously, Trina has one too, and she carries hers everywhere…which means it also holds toys, kiddie snacks, wipes…need I go on?
Bandolino Blazer (old and consigned, similar, similar, similar ) | Old Navy Vintage Tee | Merona Shorts ($18, maybe cheaper in store) | Sole Society “Dana” | Chica Bag c/o Cuddly Monkey | Jewelmint “Unlock My Heart” Necklace
I have to send big hugs to Ty over at Words and Wardrobes for picking these shorts up for me! I passed on them when I saw them originally, and when I went back for them they were sold out in my size. There were actually on clearance at Ty’s Target, so she bought them and shipped them to me. Thanks, Ty!!!
So, before I go, I’ve got one more thing for you… a GIVEAWAY!!! You too can have a fabulous Chica bag to tote around everything but the kitchen sink! hehe! Enter using the Rafflecopter widget below!

Reallh want that bag!!!!!!
If you told me you were going to where what you wore, i'd be like, "what?" but it looks GREAT!! And the bag ties in well. I also like the review on the bag. Seems as if it would be perfect for me to bring my stuff in for college.
I love this outfit!! I have those shorts as well and had intended to wear them with patterned blazer too. I was stumped with what type of top to wear, and I may have to take a page from your book and keep it simple!!! Very nice.
