I know I do.

In fact, I use flat bags all the time throughout the year.

No, I’m not kidding.

To me, flat bags are not only functional, they are essentials that are never going to be out of style.

My latest addition of flat bags is the one shown in the above picture from Roots.

I really love the quality and craftsmanship of my Roots’ Venetian Village flat bag!

Because 100% genuine leather is used, this bag is very durable.

From what I’ve experienced with my other Roots’ leather bags, the leather from Roots will often become softer with age.

This Venetian Village bag has five exterior pockets that are perfect for storing cell phone, ipod and many other daily essentials such as bus pass, sun glasses and keys.

The main compartment is lined and has a zipper closure.

The straps are adjustable and they sit comfortably on my shoulder.

The dimensions are roughly about 11″ (L) x 12″ (H).

Although I seldom wear camisole alone, I love to wear it as a layering piece below sweaters and V-neck tops.

With the current trend of deep V-neck sweaters, I believe it’s essential to have a few good pieces of colored camisoles, especially when you prefer to look classy and sexy in this holiday season.

In order to look your very best, a stretch fit camisole with a good interior shelf bra is an absolute must.

If you’re like me, who loves to enjoy the comfort as well as versatility of a good camisole, you don’t want to miss out on the Guess collection for this season.

Come in four different colors (Emerald Knight, Crown Blue, Wild Raspberry and Steel Grey) if you purchase online and in three different colors (Milk, Black and Steel Grey) if you purchase at a GUESS store, the Alex Racerback cami is no doubt the sexy cami.

This Alex Racerback cami has a unique diamond-shaped pattern that helps to create a slenderized look. When you put it on, the cami stretches to your hip area. Made of 95% nylon and 5% spandex, the material of this cami feels luxuriously soft and it is machine washable.

When I saw this cami last month at a GUESS store, I immediately purchased a few pieces – two in the milk color, one in grey and one in black. Since then, I’ve been wearing and washing them constantly. Instead of laying the camis flat to dry, I line dry them upside down. Although the spaghetti straps are not adjustable, I’m happy to say that the straps of my camis are still being retained as though they were new.

Because I really love how I look in the cami, I just placed a new web order to get the color Wild Raspberry online.

If you have been looking for a good cami, I highly recommend that you give this GUESS Alex Racerback a try.

With the web promotion going on in the colors Emerald Knight, Crown Blue and Wild Raspberry right now, the current price of the GUESS Alex Racerback cami is almost half as much as I’ve paid when I bought them in store last month.

I hope you won’t miss out on such a great buy before the promotion ends! Check out the GUESS Alex Racerback cami today and have fun shopping!

Mom has been busy re-accessorizing for her winter wardrobe when she noticed how worn out her crocheted beanie has become.

I went online and found this really pretty Woodland Soft Peaked Toque at Roots Direct.

I showed mom the picture and she commented on how chic it would look on her head.

I bet she might be purchasing one for herself really soon.

Since the hat looks so cute, do you think I should also get one for myself?
