Sparano Leather Backpack from Maxwell Scott Review

The picture that caught my attention

Back around the end of May, I discovered a giveaway on TraveloCafe for a stunning Sparano Leather Backpack from Maxwell Scott. I ended up being the lucky winner and wanted to share how in love I am. Not only do I look good with this bag, but this bag looks good with me...just sayin. 

Yes, I needed a flower too!

Maxwell Scott bags is an English luxury brand that was founded back in 2002. Their goal is to fuse modern design and traditional Italian leather. That makes their products a perfect match for just about every person of every age. Believe me, there's lots of beautiful items to choose from for both men and women. 

Located in Tuscany, every bag is handmade by very skilled craftsmen and craftswomen. The quality and perfection is undeniable. At first, you may think the prices are a little high until you realize their true value. Every bag they sell comes with a 25 year guarantee. With that said, you're saving so much more in the long run. 

I've officially decided to ditch my purse and use my new backpack instead. Being in a wheelchair, purses swing all over the place and get caught to everything. This bag however is purse size and definitely a perfect replacement. It fits like it was made for my wheelchair and is nice and secure. No more worrying about losing my things! 

Anyways, before I end this post, I should inform you they're having a sale. They ship worldwide and shipping is free if you spend over £100. Happy shopping!

This Week's Twitter Parties

Updated list above

Twitter Parties are probably one of my favorite ways to win prizes. I for one enjoy chatting with friends. With a twitter party, you can win prizes by doing just that, CHATTING! I personally use TweetDeck for twitter parties but lot of people prefer Twubs, mostly because the hashtag is already included. If a Twubs link is available, I'll be sure to add it for you.

When I started, I used a wonderful TweetDeck tutorial that shows you everything you need to know. Click Here to learn now.

I saw this picture on someone's facebook and it reminded me of this strange, beautiful dream I had a few years ago. 

Meet The LaPlante Cats

CRAZY CAT LADY IN THE HOUSE!!!! I swear that wasn't my intention growing up but it happened...I'm nuts and love my cats. I can say however, I never intended to have 8!!! I rescued a couple, my mom rescued a couple and my sister rescued one. Only 3 were on purpose...sort of. Long story for another day. 

These 8 precious puddy cats are our family, forever. When we adopt, it's a lifetime commitment and caring for them is a team effort between all of us humans. In reality, I think we're their pets. All of them are spoiled rotten...literally. They're even picky on what flavor their treats are. We buy them all because each of them have their own special preferences. 

Since I'm blogging about my life again, you'll definitely see a lot of posts about my cats. I thought it would be perfect to introduce them all to my readers and friends. Here they are in order of oldest to youngest. 

ROSIE

LUCY

PEANUT

BUBBA

MOLLY

ARCHIE

LOUIE

BETTY

So that's all 8 of my precious fur babies and I can promise much more cuteness in the Star Struck Luck future. Before I end this post, I'd like to show a beautiful picture of my baby that passed away 4 years ago.

In Loving Memory of Stuart

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

If you know me well, you definitely know I'm a huge Harry Potter fan. Maybe even obsessed! I'm perfectly willing to dress up as a wizard/witch if there were ever a comic con type thingamajiggy. You know, like all those Star Wars people have. 

Anyways, I saw J.K Rowling on the news this morning announcing that a new Harry Potter story is arriving next year. This is something I've been hoping for since the series ended. The excitement came on so suddenly and then went away just as fast. 

My first disappointment was that it's not going to be a book or a movie. It's going to be a play instead. I'm not so sure you can portray the awesomeness of Harry Potter on a stage alone. My second and biggest disappointment is that it's not even written by J.K Rowling! This is where I wanted to cry. I want to live in her brain, no one else's. 

On the other hand, I'm extremely curious. If she's excited to surprise her fans with this announcement, it must have some kind of wow factor, right? I guess we will see next year.
