Hi there! Really enjoy your reviews. Found you via the Lo&Sons Pearl review. Love the “voice cameo” from your little one, too! 🥰

I think I need to buy some bags for science too…to do research on why I keep buying bags 😂 Great comparison - when you said toaster, I saw the toaster immediately. I’ve heard of both these brands and have come close to purchasing both.

I’m a huge fan of camera bags too! They work so well for my lifestyle. Anything that can pack such a huge punch and still be a small bag is a winner for me! I love both of them! You’re right that it doesn’t look a whole inch taller! Off to finish watching the video now! 😅

Thanks MJ. I like your clear bag because you can use it as a cosmetic pouch too. I rarely use my clear bags, mostly on rainy days. Love the SLGs you displayed on your clear bag. I agree.. with seeing everything's item in their bag. But like you said you can always cover it, or create a fun display. Thanks for sharing your POV and the dimensions of what you can bring to the stadiums. 💛

Thank you so much for doing the tag! ❤ I love your picks. I don’t own kipling, but that looks awesome and I agree with you so much on your points. Coach may not be considered luxury, but it is to me as well. The way I use my coach bags is in the same way I use my LV ones. The mini round shoulders are my mom’s favorite so she has the ones I bought and I haven’t bought more lol Canvas bags 🎉🎉🎉 I love them so much! I just bought another 😅

We are the same (again) I’ll watch LV content mainly because I enjoy the diversity of style and tastes in the community but it’s really not my brand (luckily for my pockets) I stalk coach the most. I only own an LV key pouch and it didn’t blow me away and maybe I’ll get a speedy 25 but idk . I feel lucky to mainly love coach and not the “higher end” designers 😂

Being turned away is my ultimate nightmare 😭 people have been forced to take their handbags back to their car (which to me also poses a safety issue aka risk of theft). The anxiety to “get it right” is real. The struggle!

Question: Why do you need to carry a Kindle when you have an iPhone? I'm 70 and I've been reading my Kindle Books on my iPhone since the iPhone 3, before that I was using Palm Pilots. Just a question. 🐋
@mjthegray
@mjthegray 12 дней назад
Thank you for your question. The Kindle paperwhite has an ink display which closely mimics that of a real paperback or hardcover book. It makes it easier and more enjoyable for me to read. It’s compact enough, has a long battery life etc. Additionally I don’t always like to read on my iPhone as a way to take a break from the LCD screen. I have a history of migraines and bright LCD screens sometimes triggers this.

"A nice little party" LOL 🤣sounds good to me! The Lululemon bag look great. The mini envelope is nice. I like when bags have extra pockets. Really makes a difference. Oh I will have to try that lip balm. And this nylon looks very durable that is excellent. "She knows I am in my handbag era". That is a super cute little bag there. And yes the large ones are very nice. This one does make a cute clutch. I like nylon bags in summer too. Loved this and joined the family. Keep up the fun chatty content! 👍🥰☺

Does your sister have a business?? Her Le Pliage bag is soooo cute. That was a clever way to make her bag unique. Longchamp bags are super useful and functional. I have the lulu lemon belts bags and love them. Your handbag is super cute, too! TFS MJ!

Thank you!! My sister has had several small creative endeavors and she doesn’t stop 😂 she is in the creative/product design industry so she’s putting her skills and education to good use 😊 Longchamp bags are amazing and I’m judging this based on this little pouch. I see Longchamp totes in the wild and they look pristine always! TFW ❤🥰

First of all love the hair lol cant go wrong with a bun! But yes definitely can relate! the disappointment of going to a stadium and not being able to use our bags! Especially knowing we go out of our way to prepare at times and once at the stadiums I see, rules are not always enforced. I have seen other people with regular backpacks and/or bags!
@mjthegray
@mjthegray 18 дней назад
Thanks girl! When in doubt BUN / CHONGO never fails 😀 That is soooo frustrating!!! You either get harsh enforcement or they aren’t even trying. I’ve heard this too. Not cool or fair. Sometimes people/families need to carry more, and having them buy a whole new other bag is a lot of expectation. Thank you for watching and sharing ❤🥰

Clear bag requirements are sexist and here is why I say that. I've been to events with all sorts of "requirements" when it comes to bags, they've searched them. But I've yet to see them pat down a single guy! You can hide a weapon a number of ways without having a bag. There's a part of me that wants to take a clear bag one of these days just full of feminine hygiene products (I'm past needing them) just to embarrass security and then leave them in interesting places around the venue. Last fall I went to an event where they had size requirements but not clear bags. I ended up separated from my bag which did not make me happy. I have knee implants and had to go through a different part of the check point while someone else took my bag to a location where I could not see it. I will not be going back to that venue.
@mjthegray
@mjthegray 19 дней назад
I am so sorry you went thru this! Your take is interesting and I absolutely see where you are coming from. There might be some sense of sexism involved, as to why women, who typically carry handbags, are being targeted for security like this. Honestly, I low key always felt that they search for things like food or alcohol, as to encourage people to buy (capitalistic reasons). I love your idea of filing up a bag full of feminine products 😂😂😂 let us know how the experiment goes down! And I don’t blame you - I too would skip a venue if I had an unpleasant experience when it comes to bags. Thank you for sharing and watchingn❤❤❤

Ever since you said you’d be doing a video on this, I’ve been anxiously awaiting it and it was so good! I echo ALL your sentiments and we aren’t weird or hypocritical 😂 Ink pens, hair ties and tissues just aren’t cute to see in someone’s bag, lol. Compartmentalization helps. “When you join ‘em, you make it cute” 🫶

Stadium requirement for handbags also makes sense 😅 Just wait to watch the video I just tagged you in! 😅 I touch a clear bag. I have been to many rock concerts (my hubby is a metal head) but they’ve all been in smaller venues and I get to take smaller bags! The ones you showed are definitely bags I’d go for for concerts!
