Style, motherhood, and the work of becoming.
I start to sweat while in line at the grocery store debating over what to say when they as me -- paper or plastic? I so badly want to say "No thanks! I have an eco-friendly organic-of-course shopping bag!". The fact that I could never hope to get my hands on the Anya Hindmarch I'm…
Continue reading →About a year ago I blogged about a handbag hook I'd had my eye on. At $35 a pop the Luxe Link Purse Holder seemed like a fair enough deal... or at least I was so enticed by the novelty of the design of this compact style handbag hook that I bought one for my…
Continue reading →Have yet to see these in person so I might change my mind but for now I'm loving this pattern from Gwen's LAMB line. From what I've seen of her bags in the past, they're seemingly durable, sturdy.. almost a little too stiff. I'd defn. have to see this in person before going for it.…
Continue reading →Another hot designer who's managed to pull off the handbag thing.. welcome to my world Zac Posen. Thank you for adding some interest to the fall/winter handbag lineup. It seems everyone else has fallen asleep at the wheel. Wake up everyone! I first saw the Abbey Iconic Tote a few weeks back on Intermix Online.…

That's important to me since I get cranky when my bag is uncomfortable. This leather looks nice to the touch. Wish i could reach out…
Continue reading →YSL / Yves Sain Laurent Downtown Bag at Neiman Marcus.com It's so luxe... yet also so edgy -- almost Matrix-like (the movie, Keanu, black leather...) And it's mine! I know I was considering more white and light colored hand bags for my Summer 2007 "IT" bag, but how could I resist when walking through the…
Continue reading →This fall season feels like The Handbag Depression. Have all the handbag designers fallen asleep at the wheel? I've never been so unenthusiastic about the handbag lineup. It seems all the styles have merged and submerged and the creativity that seemed so abundant these past years has dried up. Well, I suppose this is a…
Continue reading →Patent has been in for some time now and I've refrained from splurging on the patent bags I've crossed paths with but this one from MCM is really making things hard on me. I fell in love with the subtle hardware detailing and the bold structure and roomy boxiness. I'm feeling very weak right now.…
Continue reading →Hey Mayor! I heard about Polyvore from another friend. How did you hear about it? And more importantly what do you think? Are you using it regularly now? -- conducting my user research when I can.. :) Polyvore Look of the Week -- Work Attire I like to carry two bags with me in the…
