Behind the Scenes: Alli Worthington + Lyric

We are thrilled to introduce our newest creation, the Lyric bag!

To model the bag that can go anywhere, we thought it only appropriate to choose super-woman herself, the lovely Alli Worthington.


You may remember that Alli's original shoot took place in Nashville. Then Maile decided to make some adjustments, um, redesign the whole bag. So our re-shoot took place in San Diego while we were all in town for BlogHer. Oh glorious San Diego, thanks for reminding us Texas girls that it is possible to play outside without succumbing to heat stroke. 

Alli warms up for photo shoots just like the rest of us.

And a few minutes later...
I mean... the charm!

Super-Alli is always on the run. In between raising her five boys and attending countless football practices + games, she's flying cross country to consult Fortune 500 companies, running Blissfully Domestic and coordinating BlissDom '12. Among SO MUCH MORE.

Lyric is the ideal accessory for the super-woman in all of us because it offers the mom + photographer + adventure-seeker just enough space to carry the essentials. Our most slender bag with a 4" base, the Lyric accommodates an iPad or eReader, camera body, 1-2 lenses and few personal items.  You will adore the comfort of this bag which can be worn on one shoulder or cross-body.

Even when driving a boat, Lyric is still your bag.

Available in Mustard, Plum, Slate Blue and Brown (photos of Brown coming soon), the Lyric is currently available for pre-order and will ship in early to mid October.



Thanks for such a blissful shoot, Alli! We heart you and all that you do!

Amy told us, "That's a lot and for some reason my bag still does not feel overly heavy and I have a very petite frame. I think the shoulder pad is well padded and the braided handles are great too."

Amy accommodates her items by removing one small divider.

Now with everything inside. Ta da...
