Hi, guys! I have an awesome giveaway for you this morning!!
This post is sponsored by Rank & Style, a site that features Top Ten lists of the best fashion and beauty products on the market. We all know there’s a lot of fashion and beauty-related info out thereāā just think about all the times you’ve had trouble deciding on a product because there were so many different options and maybe some unanswered questions too.
Rank & Style’s Top Ten lists are created using an algorithm (yes, really) that methodically researches and aggregates data (user reviews, bestseller lists, editorial recommendations, expert product reviews) from department stores, boutiques, fashion blogs, and style magazines. Basically, Rank & Style helps you simplify your shopping experience.
Here are a few examples of their lists:
- The Ten Best Dark Skinny Jeans for Fall: I’LL TAKE A DARK AND SKINNY PLEASE!
- The Ten Best Sports Bras: GO THE EXTRA MILE…SUPPORTIVE SPORTS BRAS FOR RUNNING! (Obviously, the Tata Tamer is on this list!)
- The Ten Best Straightening Irons: STRAIGHT TALK ABOUT THE BEST STRAIGHTENING IRONS!
Pretty cool, right? You guys should definitely sign up for their emailāāit’s FREE!
Ok, now that you know all about Rank & Style, how about a giveaway?!?
Introducing The O.G. (overnight and gym bag) from Lo & Son’s! It was recently listed on Rank & Style’s Top Ten Best Gym Bags: BAGS THAT ARE IN GREAT SHAPE!
(Look at that super serious pug face. Haha!)
The folks from Rank & Style sent me one of The O.G. bags to review on CNC as a thank you for blogging about their site. I can definitely see myself using this bag a lot in the coming monthsāāit’s perfect for traveling!
The main compartment features a padded laptop pocket as well as smaller one for a tablet.
There are also two side compartments with zippers for a cell phone, pens, or other small items.
And, finally, there’s a large side pocket with a zipper that’s perfect for a pair of sneakers or heels.
I especially love the shoe pocket. I hate it when my stinky, sweaty sneakers come in contact with the rest of my stuff. Eww.
Here’s your chance to win The O.G. bag in the color of your choice! (FYI: It comes in six different colors!)

Awesome giveaway! Love your shirt – where is it from?
Thanks! It’s from Anthropologie.
So I did the RaffleCopter thing. You can get 4 entries, 2 by liking the companies on FB and 2 by being Twitter fans. But there is no entry for just going there. Do you know what I mean? Normally when you do a raffle, we can comment and get one entry, then the liking and stuff is extra. Maybe if you are going to use Rafflecopter in the future, the first entry option could say “Do you read Carrots ‘n Cake” or something. Just my 2 cents… like you need it š
Rank & Style set it up, so it was their preference for how people could enter the giveaway. Sorry if there was any confusion!
@Annie Atherton:
Yeah, I thought that kind of stunk, too. I don’t use FB or Twitter…
This bag looks awesome! I’m heading to Philly at the end of next month and could use this!

Just a heads up, comments here won’t count toward a chance to win.
I really love the bag – especially the shoe pocket idea!
OMG! I LOVE this bag!!!!
And I was thinking the same thing as Grace, I love your shirt. Super cute! It’s not long sleeve weather here yet but in about a month or month and half we’ll be good to go. I may need to get that shirt
I’m kind of obsessed with your chevron area rug.
Thanks for hosting the giveaway! I have been on the hunt for a new bag for my running gear when I travel. This would be perfect.
I entered! I would use that bag every day. I always pack an extra pair of shoes when I go to work (the campus I work on has cobblestone that destroys heels!) so this bag would get a lot of use!
Such an awesome bag! Grrr why am I Canadian?!
Cute looking bag! What a great giveaway prize! I agree with you about the stinky sneakers, that’s a great idea having a spot specifically for them.
Great looking bag. I’ve read about Lo & Sons bags and would love to try one. Thanks for hosting the giveaway and for the Rank & Style tip. I’m signing up now!
It really is so gorgeous and sleek, especially for a gym bag (with the separated storage areas, to boot!). I might not be able to win one (Canada), but that doesn’t mean I can’t try to hunt it down for purchase online š
This is one of those days where being a guy reading this page pays off. I say that because I struggle to find my wife gifts and this looks like something she would like.
Love that bag! I would put my life in that bag I’m pretty sure..so cute and so functional!!! PS still loving that chevron rug in your sunroom!!
Tina…I am so excited about the Rank & Style site! I will definitely be using that and so will my daughter……my co-blogger. What a great way to see what is out there and what is the best!
Love your Chevron rug…really cute!
And the bag looks like the perfect size! Not too big and not too small….just right!
Love the bag! The seperate shoe compartment is clutch!
Unfortunately, the only way to ‘enter to win’ is to do so by entering through FB or Twitter (which I do not have an acct). That is a bummer!!!
Tina- loooove your outfit in this post where you are standing with your gym bag! Can I ask- what brand jeans and top are you wearing? Super cute!
Thanks! The jeans are Sevens and the top is from Anthropologie! š
I love the bag! Shame I am in Scotland… Womp womp… š
That is one sweet bag, love the shoe pocket and range of colors. I need a new gym bag so I will def enter the raffle. The only downside is the price, it is a little high. The bag is a great item for a Christmas list.
I’m obsessed with that little shoe pocket too!
I want it! PS I LOVE your sun porch!
Thank you! It’s our new favorite room in the house! š
Ohhhh! It looks awesome, I would love one!
Ooh! Love this bag, very awesome! Love the shoe pocket
Cute bag!!
I may invest in one of these even if I don’t win! Would be super convenient for the city, I currently carry multiple bags around so it would be great to have one to carry it all!
I love this as a travel bag! I just want to say that I’m obsessed with your decor…chevron rug (love the blue), pillows, trunk as a coffee table and of course the pug! š Fun giveaway!! Have a fantastic day! xo
š
the shoe pocket is definitely the most amazing feature.
on my christmas wish list now. š
GA!!! I’ve been wanting this bag for years! It’s so functional and understated. Love it.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this bag! I have been lusting over this bag for months. I love all of the thoughtfully placed pockets. This bag isn’t just for the gym it makes the PERFECT business travel bag. Just slip those heels in the shoe pocket when trekking across the airport!
Amazing bag. Really impressed by their stuff!
The OG bag is so versatile and smart! Could even be used as a ‘mommy bag’ to carry all of your stuff + baby’s – I love separate pockets and compartments! (and I know that this isn’t an entry….just think it’s super cool!) And their website is awesome – I heart ‘Top 10’ lists!

adorable! that bag looks perfect — functional and attractive! i absolutely entered š
LOVE these bags..have wanted one for ages now. My fingers (and toes) are crossed!
That bag is so cute!!!
Is the bag heavy when you have all your stuff in it? I like big bags but some get so heavy.
Agh – I don’t like that you have to have facebook or twitter to enter. Oh well – I still love the bag!
great bag!!!! I am always on the hunt for a decent size bag like that
Love this bag!!! Perfect for traveling or the gym:)))

This bag is SO adorable! š Would love to win it!!
I love ALL their bags!
Love the bag & that’s really cool how the site works!
That is the coolest gym bag EVER!
After scrolling throught the comments, I feel like I’m the only guy who read your blog! I’m always telling my wife your Crossfit, other training, and life event stories. Any other guys out there read this?
By the way, just wanted to let you know I enjoy the blog content as it’s always interesting. Regarding the bag, I entered through rafflecopter. My wife is due to have our first baby girl in November and think this would be a great bag to use for packing overnight items for the big day/night/more days?
Keep up the great blogging!
I think more and more guys are starting to read because of the CrossFit stuff. Some seem to pop in here and there. Thanks for reading CNC!
As for the bag, I think it would make a great bag for the big day! It’s not HUGE, but I think you’d be able to fit all of her necessities in there and then she’d have a sweet bag for later! š
I love love love the OG! I think it would be the perfect carry-on bag when we travel to China to adopt our daughter. Thanks for showing great photos of the bag, and offering this giveaway.
I LOVE this bag and definitely would put it good use! Thanks for sharing and I will definitely be entering into the giveaway.
