Girl dates are a must in my life. A few days ago, Eun Hae and I went on the ultimate date, visiting several coffee shops along the streets of North Shore. These pictures are from our first stop, Coffee Gallery in Haleiwa. It was then that the theme of "the little things" entered my mind and never left.

From the smell of coffee that surrounded me when I entered the cafe, to the coffee bags that covered the ceiling, to the little garden and picnic area outside... every little thing about this place made me fall in love. Even the coffee art in my latte, which many of you may think is overrated, was a sweet surprise and made sipping on a cup of joe that much more enjoyable.

It's the little things, y'all. The little things in our life that we take for granted. The things that go unnoticed. It's those little things that come together to make big things happen. And it's those things that made our girl date memorable.

I look for those little things when I shop. As I mentioned here, there are so many simple things that companies can do to keep me coming back. That's why and how I instantly fell in love with Parazul.

Parazul specializes in handbags and accessories for women and here's why you will love them (if you don't already):

+ Each bag is inspired by a tropical destination so you can take paradise with you. Um, hello instant vacation!

+ Packaging! You know I'm all about the details. When you order a handbag from Parazul, it will arrive in a pretty blue dust bag that will have you drooling over it in seconds.

+ They're big! One of the many reasons that I love my scarf bag is because of how incredibly useful it is. My laptop fits in it so I don't have to carry around an ugly bulky laptop case anymore and if I had kids I'd definitely add diaper bag to this handbag's resume. Plus there are several little pockets and compartments and a solid zipper to safely hold everything inside.

+ Customize it! Each bag can be customized to fit your Parazul personality. You can even build your own bag. Choose the body of the handbag, color, and add on a scarf, charms, and accessories. I can easily add a pop of color to my white bag by adding a colorful scarf or charm. It's a simple as that!

+ I've nicknamed my Parazul bag, the traveling handbag because there is literally nowhere that it can't and won't go with me. It's perfect for a weekend getaway, airplane carry-on, the office, and even the beach. Not only is the quality of my bag above average, but Parazul also offers a 1-year warranty with each bag or accessory after registration of your item.

How's that for little things?

Oh, and another little thing? Parazul is giving one of you their Classic Bag in white! The bag retails at $250! And after reading everything above, I don't need to tell you that it's absolutely fabulous. Enter with the Rafflecopter form below. Good luck!
