Alexander Wang Rockie Duffel Bag Review + Pasta Primavera
While browsing online, I spotted the Alexander Wang Rockie Duffel Bag in Spearmint and fell in love with the color. Despite the high probability that it would be too long on me and also all the negative reviews about how difficult it is to open the bag and how heavy it is, I decided to purchase it anyway to see for myself (I tend to learn things the hard way).
As you can see from the photos above, the Alexander Wang Rockie Duffel Bag really is beautiful and it's a great size but it's too long on me as expected and also super heavy as everyone says. On the bright side, it'd be a great workout to heft this bag around with a bottle of water and book inside it. The quality of this bag is definitely very nice considering the price and I really do love the design of the bag but it's true that it's hard to use. I don't think I'd be able to open it with just one hand when I'm on the go. If it were shorter on me, I'd probably be tempted to keep it because it's so cute but it's unfortunately going back since it's too long for my short frame.
Here's a healthy (and delicious) recipe for a change for pasta primavera:
