In 2011 I got a beautiful new Nikon DSLR Camera as a surprise for Christmas. I named her Rachel Berry. And we were in love. But I was just so worried to take her anywhere. That was until I found Jo Totes Camera Bags. I fell in love, of course, because they are beautiful.
I chose the rose in Marigold. But because I was aware lots of of my blogging friends also had this bag….I decided to make mine a little “Lara-ized”. I still love that big vinyl twisted flower. It looks like licorice. I want to eat it… kind of….
So it’s been quite a while that I’ve had that bag. It’s still in FANTASTIC shape. And I get compliments on it EVERYTIME I take it out.
But when I saw the new Georgia Bag Line I fell in love. They are smaller than the Rose Bags and just kind of sophisticated.
AHHHHHH……Hi pretty little Georgia in Herringbone! I know it’s doesn’t look super “Lara-fied” because it’s understated and more plain. No loud colors….
Oh but you underestimate me friends. I get a understated palette to begin with….so I can add……
Could you DIE over these amazing TASSELS that are the brainchild of me and my dear, dear creative buddy Miss Crap I’ve Made? We are like a pair of creative aces!
We were inspired by a certain company that has VERY EXPENSIVE leather bags (and who’s company name rhymes with “poach”). Their collection this year is tassel city. And we LOVED it!
So now my plain canvas….becomes a home for a striking shot of one of the season’s MOST POPULAR colors. That amazing green. (and oh yes….those are removable….there are some other options as well…yipee!!)
If you are all good girls and boys….I will show you how to make your very own later this week or next.
But in the meantime….oh yes…..it’s what you were HOPING I was going to say.
Jo Totes is GENEROUSLY giving away
one bag to one lucky LCMF reader.
(and don’t you dare let me down….so she’ll want to come back and visit! Tell your friends! It’s Christmas for crying out loud!)
Follow the instructions in the giveaway to get your entries. You can BET I’ll be checking before I give this to someone who fibbed about their entry…so make sure no fibbing!
*Disclaimer–I received this bag complimentary from Jo Totes. However I have also purchased a bag from them with my own money previously. Product photography is my own. All opinions expressed, and experiences are my own. I was in no way compelled to make a particular assessment about Jo Totes or their products.
I love, love, love the Gracie in Teal! Thanks so much for having this giveaway!
Love the tassel! Way to make the bag your own. I love the Betsy bag in the mustard color. So pretty!
I’m digging the Gracie bag in teal!
Rose in Coral is dreamy! I would love to win! Thanks for the fun chance!
I love rose in coral!

This would make my day, my week, my month… probably even my year! I love that Missy in Mint…
I think the Rose bag in Teal is divine!
My camera currently resides in a tiny black camera bag my husband got me 2 years ago. Time for an upgrade!!! Thanks Lara!
O love Georgia. And Allison. It’s an impossible decision.
Love the missy in mint but I heard the gracie is coming in mint too so now I’m having deciding issues!
Love the Rose Sugarplum
Dying over the Gracie Magenta!
In love with the Georgia Nautical! Soo cute!
It’s so hard to choose! Rose in bronze if I had to chose this second but I’ll change my mind again in a minute
Adore the rose, in coral or teal
I LOVE the Rose Teal bag!!! It is much cuter than the plain black backpack I am currently using.
I love the Rose bag in Teal!
Rose Coral or Missy Mint are my top 2 favorites because I couldnt decide
Oh so clever to add your own personal “stamp” to it! That yellow is totally awesome!
Awesome giveaway! My husband bought me an awesome Nikon D3100 for our anniversary. (Even though I thought we had agreed not to give gifts.) He also bought a very nice (yet no so pretty) camera bag. It’s certainly functional but I’d love something pretty!
I just commented above but forgot to say which bag I’d pick! I’d get Georgia Plaid.
I love the Georgia Herringbone one…
I would totally do the Betsy in Mustard. (Okay, that sounds naughty.)
I can’t decide between Betsy Mustard, Gracie Greige and Missy Mint. Maybe I need all 3
I’ve been dying for one of these forever! I like the Georgia Herringbone or the Noir tote, or even the Betsy – I love them all!
My “Shirley Temple” currently sits in an ugly black & grey camera bag that came with my camera. This GIRL NEEDS something Stylish!!!
I’m in love with the Gracie in Magenta! Pink- right up my ally!
Love the Rose bag in Coral!
A coloured bag needs to come into my life. Hopefully the Betsy in Teal.
Oh my gosh! I’m dying! Santa *might* be bringing me a camera for Christmas!!! Ok…Santa has already ordered, received and peeked at the new camera.
Santa is still looking for the perfect bag though! I’m thinking the Rose in Pewter (or any color!!!) would be awesome! You are the coolest ellieg! I’m so excited for more posts this week! You’re my favorite!
I like the Gracie in that awesome grey/beige color, or maybe pink, or maybe butterscotch… so hard to choose!

demureprincess7(at)gmail(dot)com
I love coral anything! But especially the rose bag. *sigh* I want it.
After much drooling, I decided I would choose the Georgia Nautical (waiting until it is in stock again), or the Georgia that you chose (If I had to choose one now). Oh…please p-lease let it be me. I can’t tell you how much the lack of a camera bag has deterred me from bringing my camera with me and therefore loosing so many precious moments I could’ve photographed!
Who doesn’t need a stylish camera bag?! Love it. Thanks for the opportunity.
PS: love the “Missy Mint”
i am swooning over the rose in teal
i love the new gracie bag in greige
Love!!!
I’m DROOLING over the Rose Pewter bag!! LOOOOOOOVE!!! Crossing my fingers so tightly!!!!
I LOVE the Rose in Moss!!
I would choose Rose in teal. My husband wouldn’t carry my camera bag for me anymore, but it would be worth it!
I love the Gracie in mint that is coming out this month
I would get the tote noir!
I love the Rose Marigold too
That’s what I would choose.
I LOVE the Rose Sugarplum
This is brilliant! What a fabulous idea for a bag – and I am a coach gal but seem to be working myself away from ‘em…gotta check out these : )
Love the Gorgia Plaid
The Georgia Plaid is so pretty!
How absolutely fantastically wonderfully beautiful! I would so love to toss that plain ole black camera bag that my hubby bought when we got our camera.
I love the Gracie in Butterscotch!
I adore the Betsy in teal
Oh Jo Totes. How badly I would love to have one!
I love the Gracie in Greige!
I love the Georgia in Herringbone and the Millie in Sugarplum.
Georgia in Herringbone for sure!!!
the gracie magenta, the herringbone. all fabulous!
I love the Gracie black bag, would love to win.
I have to say, I really adore them all, but I really love the Rose style in either Sugarplum or Teal. Although, the fancy schmancy camera in this house belongs to the hubs and I’m not so sure how thrilled he’d be to have such a fabulous bag for ME to tote around his baby in… I guess he’d just have to share!
I love the Georgia Nautical!
Definitely a sucker for herringbone!
Love These Bags!!! All of them are gorgeous
The rose in moss has been screaming my name!
