OGIO Review & Giveaway!
I really wanted to get my Ogio backpack before BlogHer so that I'd have an extra backpack to take with me so I wouldn't be cramming everything in the hub's old ratty backpack, which isn't all that sturdy at all. I did end up having to do that, but when my Ogio backpack arrived I was thrilled to have such an awesome one and now I can chuck hub's stained, tattered old one (thank goodness!!)
We received the Ogio Epic backpack and it has absolutely every feature that I could want in a backpack! From the website description, the Ogio Epic is loaded with:
Side entry padded laptop protection system with file dividers and pencil sleeves, sliding sternum strap, front strap cell phone, digital media device pocket, top neoprene grab handle, large main compartment, two fleece lined digital media pockets with weatherproof zippers, large drop-in fleece lined valuables pocket, two side insulated water bottle sleeves with leak ports, deluxe organizer panel, airline ticket and magazine sleeves, power cord and other laptop accessory storage, fits most 17" laptops, laptop sleeve 16.5"h x 11"w x 2"d, ultra padded air mesh back panel with ventilation channels.
Let's talk about sturdy... When I was in high school, I had so many backpacks that just fell apart. I probably went through two or three in an average year, and these days my husband seems to think that he needs to bring the laptop and every power cord known to man to work. Here's the thing though- he's a butcher. He has no need for bringing all this crap to work!! I don't worry though cause the Ogio backpacks are so sturdy that I know that its not like the laptop is going to come falling out when the strap breaks or something.
I absolutely love this backpack and so does the husband, its definitely going to be coming on our trips and excursions in the future!! You can order the OGIO Epic from Amazon.com or check the Ogio website for other dealers.

I really like the Little Big Wheel Duffel. I travel a lot and normally I like to carry a duffel bag. But sometimes you end up with too much stuff, and having wheels and a handle on a duffel bag is a great idea.
I love the Hobo purse but I have a "thing" for bags, so I love them all. Thanks for the giveaway.

Ogio really has some great-looking bags! Another that really caught my eye was the Brain Bucket laptop messenger bag, which is stylish and a lot less bulky than most laptop bags. Thanks for the chance to win this awesome backpack, just in time for the start of the school year!
