I feel like if this entire post was just pictures, this bag would speak for itself. Just in case, I will tell you all the amazing features. Don’t forget to check out the giveaway at the end of this post too! I am all about having my Lily Jade on my arm (or back) for all the occasions. The Anna is a new design to Lily Jade. I have to say, it just keeps getting better. No detail is left unthought.

This is the Lily Jade Anna Backpack in medium camel and gold. I don’t even know where to start with this gem. I was so excited to get this new fun backpack style. Don’t forget that all of the Lily Jade bags convert to a backpack with the included detachable strap. This is my first Lily Jade that has the backpack strap pre-anchored. Just in case you were wondering, Anna also comes with a detachable messenger carry strap. That strap allows this bag to function as a messenger style or on the shoulder as well. There is also the convenient grab and go handle on the top.

The hardest part is choosing a color. This Anna comes is pink leather and black nylon in addition to the camel leather. There is even a large size Anna too! This Anna is really like two bags in one. The front is where I keep things for my kids. The back is all mine though. I like having these two separate zipped sides that both have interior storage slots. The signature jade lining is plush and not cheap rough nylon. The durable lining makes organizing and grabbing items easy.

The deep outside drink pockets are a life saver. They actually fit a large water bottle and necessities. The gold zipper and anchor details really pop against the premium grade tumbled leather. No two bags are the same because Lily Jade gives you a tumbled full grain leather. No stamps or artificial patterns. Lily Jade is the real deal! Even the cute little tassel is double sided leather instead of having one raw unfinished side. That cute bead is a natural Aventurine stone. It’s all in the details people.

I am all about things that last. Quality is a big deal on things that I love. Lily Jade is one of those things that is built to last. They tuck in the leather on handles, straps, and pocket edges so that I don’t have edge paint that will wear and crack over time. There are even metal feet on this cute Anna so I don’t have to worry about where I set my bag.

There is really nothing else I would rather have by my side (except my kids and hubby 🙂 ). This Anna is the perfect little bag for everyday or travel. There is no better investment than a Lily Jade. I know I will be able to enjoy all my Lily Jade pieces for years to come. Although this Anna is super stylish and cute, it is also dependable with unmatched quality. Two thumbs up from this mama.

Even when my kids are done with needing a diaper bag, I know the Anna will still look amazing. I will get to have her all to myself. Every detail was thought out and I could not be happier with this amazing design!

I don’t have to tell you how much I love Lily Jade. My Shaylee diaper bag has been the best investment I could have made. You can read my full review of the Shaylee in my previous blog post here. This bag has been by my side since the day it arrived. On my arm, changing mom lives everywhere. Okay, maybe not everywhere but definitely changing my mom slump.

I get so many questions and compliments on Shaylee. I proudly tell everyone I can to go grab a Lily Jade bag as soon as possible. The quality of the real leather and stylish design has been amazing! Shaylee has really been the perfect diaper bag for my three kids. However, now that my youngest has started walking and getting older, I decided it was time to downsize. I don’t need quite a full-size diaper bag anymore. Just something to fit the essentials for the day.

I was not about to let Lily Jade get off my arm that easily. Did you know they offer a huge range of sizes of bags for any stage of life?  As soon as I saw the Danielle in Camel and Gold, I knew it was the perfect size for me now. Don’t get me wrong, Shaylee isn’t going anywhere either. I plan to use the smaller Danielle day to day and Shaylee for longer outings.

The natural tanned leather and gold details are stunning! The signature Jade lining is still a fun pop on the interior that I love. Don’t let the size fool you because this bag can still fit an iPad and iPad mini. The petite handle strap is a fun way to carry this bag when I have free hands with no kids. 🙂 My favorite way to carry Danielle is with the adjustable, detachable strap. I can carry it as a messenger bag across my chest or on my shoulder. Again, Lily Jade has thought of everything when it comes to the design and functionality of their bags.

I have become a bit obsessed with all things Lily Jade. I knew to really step out of my frumpy mom slump I had to upgrade my wallet too. I have been adding more and more blush pink to my home decor. That crossed over to my wallet as well. The Amber wallet was love at first pink sight. 🙂 Blush pink leather? YES, please! Pink and gold is a match made in style heaven. The last time I had a new wallet was six years ago. You can imagine how bad my wallet looked after six years. Every time I pull out this blush pink beauty to pay, people ask for all the details. I have no problem recommending my favorite go-to for bags and accessories, Lily Jade.

 

If you have been on the fence about investing in your purse or diaper bag, don’t even hesitate. I am so glad I decided to upgrade a few of the things I use constantly. Shaylee and Danielle have made me feel put together and ready to conquer anything the day (or kids) throw at me. 🙂 The wallet is the perfect size to fit all of my cards and money (and occasional leftover Cheerios). I got the packing cases because they are perfect to organize everything inside my bag. I keep snacks, changes of clothes, and essentials in each different size. I can grab out any packing case and carry it with the detachable wristlet too. Usually packing cases aren’t that cute. Honestly, these are just as beautiful as the bag I pull them out of. I love that they are clear on one side to see the contents. The gold zipper details are just perfect.

 

Being a mom is hard. Most days, I’m not sure if I even got to brush my hair or look in a mirror. I am pulled in a million different directions. Having a cute bag I can throw on my shoulder and run out the door has made me feel put together. Even if I am a hot mess, most people will be looking at the stylish (super quality) eye candy on my arm, Lily Jade. 🙂
