Never Lose the Spirit of Vacation with LeSportsac!

As summer comes to a close and a new season is slowly blowing in, I realized that I can still hold on to a bit of that tropical summer feeling with my LeSportsac Vacation Paradise Hobo Bag and Voyager Backpack.  

The Hobo Bag is small and great for managing everyday necessities while on the go. With its small size, I intentionally take less with me which gives me a light hearted feeling.

The Voyager Backpack is another great option for those on the go. I was able to pack shampoos, brush and hair spray while comfortably fitting a change of clothes and some shoes. I can't wait to use it when we go to Las Vegas in November. The Voyager Backpack is the perfect carry on bag to accompany me on the long 5-hour flight.

 LeSportsac bags are truly durable and will last you a long time.

Which leads me to the infamous LeSportSac backpack! They have sent us these for review before and after 3 years, multiple road trips, and first grade... my little one can still rock her original LeSportSac backpack! We brought one on her VERY FIRST trip to Disney World (she loves her adorable Spring Mickey Loves Minnie print).

These bags can take anything you throw at them (I can vouch for that, I'm rough with bags). Our now second grader takes her bag to school everyday.  She loves the Mickey shaped zipper pulls, and this style bag is great for younger grades.  It holds up, is water resistent, easily, cleaned and has multiple pockets.  We've packed it with books and supplies, sleepover essentials, and everything a 7 year old needs for her first plane trip!  At the end of the day, they pass the kid test, the time test, the weather test, and the over-stuffed test! Worth every penny!

Love is in the Air with our LeSportSac Spring Style Tour!

Here at Picturing Disney we love a functional, stylish, quality park hopping bag and LeSportSac never disappoints!

Our favorite non-Disney character, a Beagle, and a Giveaway!

Do you ever feel like you can find a little magic everywhere you go? I think if you try hard enough you can find a piece of Disney magic everywhere as well! Take this summer for example, my boyfriend and I had taken a trip up to the Normal Rockwell Museum. What was the first print we found when we walked in? One that Mr. Rockwell had dedicated to Mr. Disney himself!

Another animation icon, Charles M. Shulz's delightful characters have been part of my life forever.  I wasn't very surprised when I found out that after his precursor to the Peanuts strip (Lil Folks) came out, Shulz was invited to a probationary appointment at Walt Disney Studios! He turned it down, but I do like to think that it connects Mr. Good Grief & Mr. M. Mouse just a little!

When our friends over at LeSportSac partnered with Peanuts for a slew of new patterns to couple the adorable beagle's big screen release we just COULD NOT WAIT for a chance to check them out (and give them away to you!!!

As always, LeSportSac does not disappoint.  The creativity of pattern design, functional bag designs, and the high quality manufacture (not to mention the long life) of these bags is not to be paralleled!

The lines in these collections can be found here:

Peanuts Movie

Snoopy Patchwork

Snoopy Daisy

Snoopy Dot

We are ready to share these cute bags with you... so stay tuned to Picturing Disney for a sweet giveaway (or two)!

Happy New Year! LeSportSac Celebrate Minnie Giveaway!

Disney and LeSportSac collaborations may be my favorite in recent years! I can't rave about the quality of LeSportSac enough (don't believe me check out the posts here, here, here, and even here!) and obviously teaming up with Disney is a match made in heaven for me! After the It's a Small World collaboration ended we get a little look at Minnie Mouse through the years with the "Celebrate Minnie" print! What better way to ring in a new year than with a great giveaway? Check out my review and then enter below!

I was lucky enough to be sent a few items to review and even a great cosmetic bag to giveaway! I got to try out the Small Cleo Crossbody (9 x 9 x 4.5 in and $64) which is, in my opinion, one of the most perfect park bags ever for Disney parkgoers and for anywhere you are headed.  Great size- not too big or too small and has both zip and open exterior pockets to tuck things away safely and for easy access!

Features:

Zipped main closure

Pink Lining
Exterior front zipper pocket
Exterior back open pocket
Adjustable shoulder strap (Max. 50in / 127cm)
Interior signature zip/open pocket

I also got to check out the Rectangular Cosmetic Bag (3.5 x 6.75 x 2 in and $25) which I have given away in the past but never used one.  I adore this cosmetic bag because it keeps its nice squared shape because of the zipper which is great for keeping mascara, lip glosses, eyeliners and other pen shaped items (I was actually thinking about using this as a pencil case for all my teacher supplies)! 

The third  bag I got to check out is the Deluxe Shoulder Satchel (7.5 x 11.75 x 5 in and $82).  This bag is also fabulous with a shoulder strap that can adjust to be crossbody on my people as well as more space and pockets than the squared Cleo bag (the Satchel has more of a rectangle shape and more pockets plus mine came with a zip closure matching pouch)!

Features:

Zipped main closure
Exterior front open pocket
Exterior front pocket with zipped closure
Exterior back pocket with zipped closure
Two exterior open side pockets
Adjustable shoulder strap (Max. 60in / 152.40cm)
Interior pocket with zipped closure
Includes matching pouch with zipped closure

A chance to win your own from Picturing Disney!

LeSportSac It's a Small World Polynesian Paradise Multi-Bag Review!

I am a HUGE LeSportSac fan and have been for years.  Of the course of the last 18 months or so Disney has teamed up with this amazing brand featuring seasonal patterns inspired by the fabulous Mary Blair's It's a Small World art.  Each different pattern featured a different country featured in this fun ride! The last pattern in the collection is by FAR my favorite yet: Polynesian Paradise! When LeSportSac sent me and my writers some bags to review (and keep your eyes peeled since they also sent some great bags for an amazing giveaway coming up soon) I nearly cried I was so psyched! Instead of just giving you a quote or two about each bag I have reviewed two of them and each writer another! Since after you see the pattern I know you will want to purchase your own, now we can help you decide which style is right for you!

I have always wanted a full size EveryGirl Tote from LeSportSac.  I am a school teacher and the Social Studies office is a long walk from the wing my classroom is in so it is imperative I have a great bag, that is durable and easy to clean, with lots of compartments to stay organized.  This bag was all that and more! It is beautiful (I get compliments everyday) and I love the attention to detail and zip closure on top (full picture above).

When I filled my bag with all the things I usually carry around (file folders of worksheets, folder of paperwork for the SADD chapter I advise, books I am currently reading or that my Honors students are reading, pens, notepads, my cosmetic bag filled with toiletries and other necessities, cough drops, extra pencils and flashdrive and other trinkets) I found myself grabbing more stuff off of my desk to fill it up!

When I finally was satisfied it still zipped up no problem and was easy to carry on my shoulder without feeling like I weighed down the bag.  There are two inside slide pockets and a pouch with hidden pocket on the opposite side of the lining.  The outside has two awesome side pockets.  I was able to fit my umbrella and huge keychain on one side and plastic refill cup on the other! I love that I can be handsfree in the halls thanks to this fabulous bag! The pattern is a little different than the others but its fabulous (see picture below) and the lining inside is a great pink color! 

Additionally I was able to review another gorgeous bag: The Small Veronica Hobo! This bag has been something I've had my eye on since I first saw it but have never been able to pick one up! Its just the absolute perfect everyday bag! If you look at the first picture in this article you can see the way it falls perfect on your hip when you use as a crossbody bag! Whats fabulous is that when you shorten the strap it also works perfectly for a shoulder bag.

The design is beautiful with just enough room for everything you need even if you carry a huge wallet like I do-- I filled the interior pouches with makeup and still had room for sunglasses, gum, wallet, keys, cell phone, work keys, lotion, and a few other trinkets.  I love everything about this bag and I don't think I have recommended another bag I've owned as much as this one! Its got a great shape, adorable pattern, and is easy to wear with anything- plus its super easy to clean and lets me carry some magic with me every day!

When I first opened the box containing my Classic Hobo I immediately loved it as it is exactly the same size as the bag I was currently using! It really is the perfect everyday bag. The size and space inside is just the right amount for anyone, really. And the print is colorful and vibrant while still being neutral.

There is the large "main" zippered compartment with a smaller zippered pocket inside. There are also two full length zippered pockets on both sides of the outside. The one thing I personally had to adjust to was finding a convenient place for my iPhone. My current bag had an outside open pocket that fit it perfectly. I need my iPhone at my fingertips constantly, so we'll see how the outside zippered compartment works for me (although knowing my phone is safely zippered away makes this a good choice in the Parks or when I am out and about).

 You could very easily make this a touring bag as well!! The main area would fit snacks, juice boxes, wallets, etc. The outer pockets would be good to corral papers (think fast passes), receipts, or anything else you'd want handy. And again, wearing it cross body is extremely comfortable.

It is no wonder that Lesportsac teamed up with Disney. Now that I have my Lesportsac bag – I am pretty sure that Lesportsac knows how Mary Poppin’s carpet bag was designed. I am not kidding. This bag is small (8x8.5x4"), but I can fit so much in it, that I am sure it’s lined with some kind of magic. (Not to mention how cute it is!, a Disney must!). Note photo #1 (cute right?). Notice photo #2 the bag is zipped closed. Not so unusual… until you view photo #3 That is what was in it! I usually carry a backpack! I am seriously never going on vacation without it! I get to carry a colorful, beautiful, Disney inspired bag and as small as it is, it is as functional as a bag twice it's size!

Monique

When I found out about getting to try out the Small EveryGirl Tote from the LeSportSac bag line inspired by Disney's It's A Small World attraction, I was ecstatic. I've heard great things about these bags and was excited to try them out.   It looks and feels durable. Not to forget how cute the patterns are (and it doesn't hurt that its inspired by the great Mary Blair).  This bag is great for the every day and a nice touch to any outfit. What is the best part you ask? My husband can no longer call my bag ìthe bag of deathî (whatever went in, would never come out aliveî). Everything can be put away and found again. No more missing keys in this girl's future.

As for size, this bag is 9 x 9.5 x 5.5 in. Taking this into consideration, I was really surprised to see how much actually fit into the bag. I was able to fit a change of clothes, wallet, cards, lip gloss, etc. It has two pockets, one on the inside and one on the outside. The inside pocket is the length of half the bag. The outside pocket is the length of bag and great for storing my keys.  The quality of this bag is wonderful!

Hope everyone loved the reviews! Keep your eyes here on Picturing Disney later this week for your chance to win a Deluxe Everyday Bag with Charm and Zip Closure Pouch OR a Rectangular Cosmetic Bag (no charm)!

LeSportSac sent us these bags to review (as well as the bags for our upcoming giveaway)!
