They always served delicious desserts on the Lido Deck at Horatio's.
I was enthralled with Gatsby's Garden.
Not many people found this area, so it was very peaceful.
The clean and comfortable Stateroom with complete with dog towel animal.
All in all we had a fantastic vacation!

Review: Zara Terez Nolita Grande Purse

My review on the Zara Terez Nolita Grande grey suede shoulder purse vs. Coach Sabrina.


I found this to be a really good quality suede bag, but there was some uneven stitching which I haven't found on bags of comparable price.  Watch my video for more details.

I did find loose threads on the Zara Terez Nolita Grande.
The handle is adjustable on the Zara Terez Nolita Grande.
The design, color, and especially the pleats make the bag look sophisticated.
All in all this is a beautiful and roomy bag, albeit the stitching issues on two places and the loose threads which can catch on rings or items being placed inside, or being removed from the bag.

Verdict:
Beautiful bag
Nice color
Quality suede
Perfect day-to-night bag
No dustbag
Loose threads
Uneven stitching

The strap is adjustable, but it is prone to slip somewhat when the bag is full and the weight of the bag starts to pull the strap downward.  After a few hours of wear you would need to adjust the strap, and this becomes very annoying.
