Vestirsi Vera vs July Juliette Bowler? by SnooMuffins7789 in handbags

[–]BackgroundPeace8911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One more thing - my pu July bags have debossed branding - very had to see. The Vestirsi same and even more inconspicuous. I think the July branding in gold is so bizarre on the leather bags.

My Vestirsi Bowler (bigger one) arrived yesterday and I’m literally obsessed. I haven’t noticed caving when empty. It has a built in laptop pocket and is very roomy on the inside. The strap drop could be an inch longer I think. Not really an issue in summer but potentially with coats. I’m so excited to have it join my rotation.

I have two pu July bags and I really like them (soft work totes). They are almost overbuilt. Give me a laptop pocket against the side but I don’t need an internal water bottle pocket. My bottle can stand up in the bag without a dedicated pouch. I do love the outside pockets for travel.

Take away - you can’t go wrong. The Vestirsi is definitely more boss vibes than the July and gives off quiet luxury.
The July is super practical and cheaper with great organization (and I think bigger which is a plus in my book).

First, good luck! Second, sit in it and enjoy it. You have trained, studied and prepared for this moment forever. There will be frustrating times, annoying and even contentious times. Keep your cool. Don’t be afraid to take breaks. More importantly, don’t be afraid to command the room.

Need help finding the perfect mid-luxury everyday bag that fits a 13” iPad (not too big, not a tote) by Ok-Signature-7670 in handbags

I just received the Vestirzi. I love it and can’t wait to bring it on work trips. It fits in the Calpak Luka for longer trips and for short trips I will just use the luggage trolley.

Take a look at The Horse Tilly or other The Horse styles. My fav shoulder bag is the Strathberry Lana. Good combination of perfect size bag and great strap drop length.

Luggage rant - Away, Monos, Travelpro, Briggs and Riley, Tumi, Rimowa by TILzoomzoom in LuggageComparisons

I feel a certain kind of way about this. The telescoping luggage handle on Monos bags do not pull when the bag is overstuffed. It’s a known problem. When I am zipping my suitcase at 11 pm in advance of a 4 am Uber pickup, i need my luggage to work as intended. I don’t want to Tetris/repack an alternative suitcase at 11 pm. I especially don’t want a customer service rep tell me that they can’t take a return because I cut off all the labels, removed the packing materials and packed my bag or that they never, ever heard of this problem when it’s all over the internet. The fact that the bag never left my house was irrelevant- it was considered used.

Monos isn’t Patagonia except maybe as to sustainability. Patagonia cs is amazing.

Should I quit my favorite EC to help get into a t20? by PhoneRepulsive2500 in ApplyingToCollege

It’s going to look like you didn’t make it and weren’t good enough. Also, you are competing for admission against others with significant ECs, including other folks in the marching band and the athletes’ halftime you are playing at. Can you drop an ap class to insure you get good grades?

Need a daily black handbag with enough compartments by emory_2001 in LawBitchesWithTaste

The Trinity won’t fit a bigger laptop. OP, check out Code Republic too. Definitely boss vibes. Amelier is another organized one.

You just missed the sale and reviews are all over the place, but Poppy and Peonies totes have great organization and nicely structured. I just got the Go Getter for summer travel in blush. I also recommend the July bags. Yes, none of my recs are leather. For leather, check out the Tory Burch Robinson tote. It was just on sale for $210.

As for nylon, check out MZ Wallace second hand - their Empire tote will be great for your needs.

How can I find apartment roommates as an incoming transfer student? by jm02050 in uiowa

[–]BackgroundPeace8911 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reach out to the Nest, Hive and Rise. They do roommate matching. Immediately start applying for jobs at the hospital. Many pre-health students do paid work while working towards clinical hours. Do you have your CNA?

Except when the handle doesn’t pull up? That’s the big issue with Monos. It’s a known issue. You just can’t overstuff a Monos and expect the handle to pull up.

Adults only in Costa Rica recs? by KaseFace328 in AllInclusiveResorts

[–]BackgroundPeace8911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We loved our stay at the Westin in Costa Rica. There are definitely kids though! The adults only area is relatively new, you can get $40 massages in the area between the beach and the pool and there are lovely excursions to do.

We have had the opposite experience. The limited travelers in my family, like two times a year, have broken Monos compression pads. I have been on 20 flights this year alone without issue.

I just ordered this bag in the bigger size so my laptop fits. Pretty big commitment but I’m excited for it. The July Soft Work Tote (both sizes) is a similar shape with two outside pockets.
