CupCase: A mini suitcase for your bras!

If you follow me on Instagram (@thebargainblonde), then you may have seen me post this picture last week with the caption, "My CupCase arrived today!"

Many of you were curious and asked what a CupCase was, so today I'm dishing because every cute, stylish bargainista needs one for when you globe-trot.  Or "state-trot" (I made that word up).  Mine arrived last week just in time for me to pack before heading off to Charleston, SC for the weekend and I'm sad it took me so long to discover this girly creation because my suitcase has been missing out.

First, let me show you the CupCase up close and personal.

So freaking cute, right?  Do you spy the diamond studded zipper pull?  DIE!

The aforementioned CupCase is exactly what the title of this post states: a mini suitcase for your bras!   And its purpose is to protect your delicate brassieres them from crimping, crushing and creasing in your suitcase. I mean, what will they think of next?

They come in several fun satin color shades (even leopard, rawrrr!) and you can order different sizes to fit your boobie size specifications: A/B or C/D. Pink is my favorite color, so naturally I went with the hot pink.

Here is my CupCase mid-pack:

You just unzip the CupCase, place your bra in with the straps hanging out, then place your second bra the opposite direction with straps hanging out too.  Once you've finished stacking, you tuck the straps in and zip up.

So I was packing and Reese (my precious 4-year-old nephew) came in my room after his bath to say good night.  He was VERY intrigued with the CupCase and insisted he help me pack.  He decided all off my swimsuit tops needed to go in the CupCase, so I let him pack away.  Be still my heart.

Now you ladies know if I'm loving it, then you know it's got to be a bargain.  They are only $24.95, holl-er!  And if you buy 5 or more, you get 20% off, so they are only $19.95.  I think a CupCase would be perfecto as Bridesmaid gifts or Christmas presents for your besties.  Here are some of the color options if pink isn't your thing.

Shop the collection!

There you have it! Now you all know what a CupCase is.  I love mine and I loved traveling with it.  I have to be super organized when I travel so this just made my life a lot easier. You can even put hair accessories, jewelry (Stella and Dot jewelry *wink wink*), thongs, etc. in your CupCase, so it's multi-functional.

If you're now dying to have your own, just go to the CupCase Web site, pick your color/size and it ships directly to you in a cute CupCase box. Now go get your CupCase on!

Charleston via Instagram (video)

Hey y'all!  I'm back from my weekend vacation with my bestie and fellow blogger Beth in Charleston, SC!  The town was so historic and beautiful! I took a lot of pictures on my phone and have put them in a video like I did with my Hawaii pics. There is a song to go along with it, so turn your speakers up and press play.

Tomorrow I have a fun video tutorial for a DIY flat iron holder for your bathroom coupled with a fab giveaway!  A $75 Universal Visa Gift Card to spend however you want to be exact!

Thursday I'm reviewing an amazing girly new product that I know y'all are going to love! Hint: I used it on my trip

And Friday is Friday Faves!  I'm so sorry I wasn't able to get the link-up to post because of technical difficulties with the hotel computer.  Their browser was incompatible with the blogger platform. My apologies!  If you did a Friday Faves post, feel free to link-up last week's and this week's on the same post.  That way no one misses out!

You know when you have a million things going on in your head and you can't even think straight? That is how I feel, so I'm just going to watch my video now and pretend I'm still in Charleston.  I'd rather live in denial. Toodles.

A few things before I leave on a jet plane

I'm ashamed to admit this, but I'm currently "that bitch".

I've had this lingering sickness for a few weeks but nothing too debilitating.  As of the past couple of days, I literally cannot take a breath without coughing like I'm on my death bed. My co-workers who sit by me have got to want to slice me. I'd slice me.

Disgusting cough or not, I will rally because I'm off to South Carolina at 5 a.m. to meet up with this girl for a weekend getaway.  Some sights I'll be seeing in less than 24 hours:

I'll be updating our trip a lot on Instagram. You can follow me at @thebargainblonde

Also, I am scheduling a Friday Faves link-up post for Friday, so y'all can still get your posts ready and link-up with me even though I'll be laying on the beach while y'all slave away at the office.  It's OK, you can hate me.

Per the usual, I have not packed and I have not ran any necessary pre-vacation errands.  I'd blame my current sickness, but this is what I do before every trip.  I'm queen of waiting until the last minute.  Like we're talking I still need to go to the bank, get a new pair of sunglasses, do laundry, pack, paint my nails, go the post office, write thank you cards, etc.  Obvs not all this is going to happen, but I will try my best.

Does any one procrastinate like me before traveling? Or are you on top of your packing game?
