Freebie Thursday!!! (I know, I'm a little late)

UPDATE: Congrats to Anita from Toronto who won this pretty lady!

I don't know what happened last week, time flew by! I got so wrapped up that I forgot to hold a giveaway. I am trying to hold it every Thursday, but I am only one person here so we might have to be flexible on the day from time to time. Maybe I will change it to Mondays, we all need a little something to get the week rolling.

Anyway, the important part..... This weeks give away is a cute little leather, two toned clutch made of salvaged leather and lined with organic canvas. Perfect as a little wallet, make up case or clutch. Enter your email address at chachalifestyle.com for a chance to win the CHA CHA Recycled Clutch.

Winner will be selected at 6pm today. Happy Monday!!

PS. If you have entered your email before, no need to re add it. Once I have it you are included in every giveaway!!

Pretty Purse Insert

I don't know about you, but I change handbags A LOT! I use one bag to go to the gym, a small shoulder bag to go for lunch, a clutch for a night and so on. But no matter what bag I use there are some items that come with me everywhere, items like my lip balm, phone, compact and credit cards. So this is why I created this cute purse insert. It fits all the necessities but also double as a clutch.

Made of soft black leather, decorated with studs, closes with a zipper and lined with chocolate brown organic canvas.

Tavi in Pop Magazine

I will admit, I am one of those people who buys books or magazines because of their cover and bottles of wine because of their label. So over the weekend I was browsing my favorite magazine shop and POP Magazine caught my eye. Initially the clash of colors is what stood out, but at closer look I realized it was Tavi, the young fashion blogger graced the cover. I have been reading the 13 year olds blog for a little while and think she is the cutest thing. I love the fresh outlook of a young girl in love with fashion.

This week is all about assembly.

When I am working on large orders I do everything in sort of an assembly line. I will sit and trace patterns for a few days, then I will take a few days to cut, and so on. This week I'm doing all the little details that actually take quite a while, putting on zippers, adding hardware ect. I'm getting close, I almost have enough stock for the Christmas season, I hope!

As I sit and do some of this sort of mundane work I'm already daydreaming about bags for spring. Making brand new styles is the part of the job that keeps me motivated.

This is one of the bags I made today. I like white to wear white all year round! I ignore the whole white after labour day rule.

Today I am.....

FREEZING! It's cold outside AND cold in the studio.

Other then getting mild frostbite I am working on clutches all day today. I think the clutch is my favorite style, am Im gonna try and it make it yours too!

Lou is here to keep me company. As you can see, he is quite bored.
