Hi, My name is Lisa Carolina. Welcome to my beauty blog! Not only will I write about beauty products that I recommend but I will also write about new beauty products, discounted fashion buys, and recent YouTube videos I’ve seen from our favorite beauty vloggers! This blog will be where trendy meets budget. Something that the normal everyday boy or girl will appreciate. I love my pricey beauty products and fashion buys but I also love my bargain buys! I believe that not everyone has the ability to buy the most expensive and trendy products but they do have the ability to look like a million bucks!
Let’s get started! Yes, this is my first post and I want to thank you ahead of time for choosing to read my blog and become a follower! or as I’d like to call you beautiful readers, BelLissimas or BelLissimos! (see what I did there, hahaha, I know, that was corny.)

| Isaac Mizrahi New York Alice Leather Satchel |
I’ve been itching to write about this great satchel I came upon at one of my favorite places, T.J. Maxx. First of all, let me say that T.J. Maxx is the holy grail of handbags, depending on the location, you will go in just to look around but you’ll come out #Winning with a great bargain! For example, I went into the T.J. Maxx that is located in lower manhattan just to check it out and see what they have to offer in such a highly populated area. As I looked around the colorful isles of affordable handbags I happen to walk into what I like to call the “All Black Errrithing” section, I usually skip this section, and when I saw this precious Isaac Mizrahi New York Alice Leather Satchel we automatically connected!
It was the only one on the floor and I just had to have it without looking at the price, hahaha. I tried it on with the cross body strap that it comes with and then I just carried it by the dual buckle-adjustable top handles that are normally stiff. I’m not always into satchels or handbags with stiff top handles to hold onto but I didn’t care especially after I saw the price! The original retail price is $258.00 but the T.J. Maxx price was 50% off! (Do the math) ;)
It’s a pebbled leather exterior with two top-zip closures, one is a capital “I” gold colored logo charm and the other is a black pebbled leather one with the words “Isaac Mizrahi New York” on printed on it.The interior material is made of cotton. Inside the two corners of extra material folds inwards so you can close the satchel and not deform the sleek structured shape it has. Inside, this satchel has medium and small slide pockets side by side at the front and a medium zip pocket at the back with a gold zipper and gold lettering on it. Yes, the interior is all black.
When I looked inside of the satchel and saw that it came with a beautiful light grey dust bag with pink straps and pink lettering. Its silky smooth texture makes you want to place your satchel inside wherever you are so that not one bit of dust falls lightly onto the exterior of the satchel.
Yes, I am aware that I might be a little to obsessed with a black satchel but everyone has that one bag that you are just “Coocoo for CocoPuffs” for!
For one, this satchel has small to medium space, I’ll add the measurements as soon as I can find them. I can fit my Lancome makeup bag next to my Michael Kors rectangular wallet, plus, my keys, a Altoids heart shaped peppermint metal case, my iPhone5s, the dust bag, my sunglasses case and my mini bottle of Poland Springs water. I do carry a lot! Soon a “What’s in My Bag?” post will be up on my blog with pictures! I will also add pictures of the interior later tonight because I could not find them online.
This Isaac Mizrahi Alice leather satchel will be my “Go-To” bag for the those quick meet ups with friends or a nice quick meal at a east village restaurant. I wouldn’t want to carry this one around for a regular shopping trip or just walking around the city, it’s too precious! Of course the Spring and Summer time is for colorful bags that bring your whole outfit together but black is elegant and chic, you just have to know where and when to wear it. ;)
Adios BelLissimas & BelLissimos! xoxo
