WINNER: The giveaway is closed now, and the winner is Sara P.! Congratulations, Sara! If you entered but didn’t win this time around, keep trying, and click here to enter any ongoing giveaways before you jet. 🙂

This year’s 12 Days of Giveaways series started with a stellar Zella giveaway, so I guess it’s only fitting that we slalom through the homestretch with another zinger from Zella. 🙂

The $68 Zella Gathered Tote was one of my favorite accessories of the year.

Babe, I absolutely love this bag! Lightweight, comfy AND it fits all of my crap, like my photography equipment, makeup bag, cell phone, wallet, cans of Fancy Feast, tiny jars of Nutella, anvils, car batteries…

And it’s loaded with pockets! — inside and out.

Best of all, it’s flexible. You can use it as a basic purse, a gym bag, a photography bag or just a general purpose junk bag. Or, convert it to a cross-body bag with the padded strap if you need your hands free.

The deets…

• Top zip colosure
• Exterior zip and open pockets
• Interior zip pocket; open mesh pockets
• Nylon
• Dimensions: 17 1/4″W x 18 1/2″H x 4″D (measures extra large)
• Strap drop: 8″
• Shoulder strap drop: 13″ – 24″

This being the grand finale in this year’s 12 Days of Giveaways series on Makeup and Beauty Blog, I wanted to go out with a BAG!

I meant bang… Go out with a bang. 🙂
