Oh, Gorgeous.
That’s what I said when I opened the mail took a look at this bag from Cassey, who is the founder, creator, and owner of oGorgeous.com.
Cassey is also a Pilates and Group Fitness instructor, she has a great website called Blogilates, has a a new YouTube Channel called Blogilates TV and has her original POP Pilates on YouTube
To say she’s busy is an understatement and in all her spare time she managed to design a line of fabulous bags.
I received the Pleated Pocked Gym Bag in Chrome Dazzle
And I love it!
I’ve been stuffing it full of all my gear. The intended use is gym gear but I’ve used it as a daytime and around-town bag that holds snacks, gym clothes, items from my purse that I’ve thrown in, and my Macbook, too. I can also put camera gear in it or use it as a carry-on travel bag. It’s big enough to be versatile but not huge that things disappear into the bag hole of abyss.
It’s sparkly but it’s not one of those bags that the sequins will flake off and then all of a sudden you’re missing a row of sequins.
The workmanship on this bag is awesome.
It has handles and a shoulder strap, tons of pockets and zippered compartments with a nook and cranny to stuff everything.
You can even stuff a yoga mat in it.

I’m quite the Bag Lady
I have a post about some of my favorite bags
And I have camera bags
Camera Bag from Etsy
And most recently, I picked up a camera and laptop combo backpack. This backpack saved me running through airports and trying to manage gear, a child, snacks, other carry-ons and more on our last trip.
I cannot recommend this camera and laptop combo backpack highly enough and the price is right.
From black and clunky to sparkly and fun, I love bags and am thrilled with the oGorgeous bag.
You can even stuff snacks into the bag; imagine that.
A few Peanut Butter Cocoa Krispies Smores Bars wrapped in plastic have found their way into the bag; imagine that.
Do you have a favorite bag? Do you have any bags on your wish list?
Weekend Plans?
It’s going to be gorgeous here and I won’t be watching the Superbowl but I have 25 Vegetarian Super Bowl Recipes just in case.
Maybe I’ll be shopping or baking…
TGIF and enjoy your weekend!
I NEED a new camera bag. Super super bad!
I NEED a new gym bag like mad. I have several, but they are all the wrong size or don’t have pockets/zippers/whathaveyou. I keep saying I’ll make one, but clearly time is not on my side there. but everytime I see one I want, I think to myself…I can make something.
Right now I’m using a canvas Trader Joe’s bag. Classy.
I carry soooo much stuff in TJ’s canvas and groc store canvas bags. For a buck, they rock.
Oh my goodness, I think I found a new item to add to my “must-haves” list. That bag is so freaking purty! I love how shiny and glitzy it is. Especially with the purple lining on the inside. Seriously, does it get better than that? I want I want I want that bag! Better go tell the hubby we might be cutting back a bit this week cuz Mama needs to buy herself some new bling. I don’t know whether to thank you or curse you, Averie. I’ll thank you when I receive it in the mail and then curse you when I get my credit card bill :)
well LMK if you do end up ordering it!
I own exactly four bags. One medium, one large, one clutch and my gym bag. I’m just not that really into them I guess! I love oohing and aahing over pictures, but I just wouldn’t use them if I ever had them. I stick to my medium one daily and only use the others for special occasions.
Well you have extra closet space then since you have 4. I could use that :)
great bag! I really need a good laptop/camera bag. When I travel, I stuff both into a Burberry tote bag which is neither safe for the items or my shoulders!
happy weekend!
You and I need to go bag shopping together if you rock a Burberry tote despite it not being super comfy, I bet it looks awesome!
LOVE Cassey, her bags and her pilates videos!
And your bag is totally fitting for you, I would say :)
Thanks for the discount :)
I am SOOO jealous. I’ve wanted one of these bags since I saw them a few months back. I have an underarmour bag that gets the job done, but I love the idea of all the zippers and the fact that this looks like a girl’s gym bag.
COVETING.
Love bags too. My sister and I were just discussing with a friend that we needed to do a bag/accessory swap party.
A swap party to trade bags, either for like 6 months, or permanently, would be so fun. And useful!
Nice bag indeed and I also really like your camera bag from Etsy. I checked out the o.Gorgeous website– I really need a new gym bag so that just might be the ticket for me!
Hope you find something you love and are able to get it!
Holy Moly! That is quite a bag! I am not a bag lady, I am more of a shoe gal, but that bag is just spectacular! Oh and those Smores bars look super amazing :)
I am SUCH a bag lady too – forget the shoes, it’s all about the bag for me! That sparkly bag is gorgeous, and thanks for the heads up on the camera bag, I was needing one!
Had I not purchased my lululemon bag a few months ago, I would get one of Cassey’s bags. My bag doesn’t hold my yoga mat but it’s the perfect color: a minty green!
I almost purchased a Lulu too but then literally a day!! before I ordered the Lulu, I knew that Cassey’s bag was on the way….it was amazing timing for me. But the Lulu’s are fabulous and I *almost* ordered one, too.
That is one gorgeous bag! Much classier than sequins and I love that they won’t fall off.
LOVE the O Gorgeous bags and Cassey! I follow her and love her videos. Thanks for posting this Averie, you just gave me inspiration for a Valentines “want” ;) Have a great weekend!
That bag is perfect to stash diapers and my gym clothes. I think I need it. I also think I need those bars. You can just bring the bars to brooklyn, right?
I love your humor!
What a great bag. I could even see that working as a stylish diaper bag! I refused to buy the standard diaper bags on the market when my son was born in August because they look so drab. I have just been using my purse.
Speaking of workouts, in addition to your runs do you still do at home weight and yoga workouts? We finally have a garage in he new house we moved into and set up a home gym with a few items, plus we have sidewalks right out side our door now and am loving it. Such a time saver!
Not so much weights but yoga, yes. At-home = such a time saver!
