I had lunch with Nancy today and got a peek inside her delicious orange crocodile "Camera Bag" (trimmed in a lighter shade of orange croc). She is quite practical as you see, two cell phones (one from Colombia one from the US), a shorter shoulder strap for the bag (there is also a cross body strap), a pack of tissue paper and cash/credit cards. I don't know about you but I emailed my SA in the middle of lunch and ordered this bag in the exact shade of juicy orange. I will not rest until I have this!
