The heavy oversized purse? Love it. But it hurts my shoulders. Small, cute clutch? Love it. But it’s annoying to hold and I drop it all the time. So, backpack. I need one. Which one should I get?

Found here, here, here and here.

It’s true, I’ve found the perfect summer bracelet. I snagged one of Kate’s lovely bracelets and I absolutely love it! Be sure to check out her blog and shop and hopefully you can snag one too! (I think I used the word “snag” one too many times.)

Does anyone get that reference? Fashion show! Fashion show! Fashion show at lunch! [The Office reference]. I love Mindy Kaling. Anyways, thought I’d put together a little fashion show at lunch. Classy can take all forms. 1) I love this adorable pink coat accenting the black & white outfit. 2) LOVE the lace dress. 3) Sahara Peach Sunglasses from Need Supply Co. 4) HOOPA Nude T-Bar Sandals from Topshop 5) Peach Sleeveless Tuck Detail Dress from Topshop 6) School Girl Satchel from Need Supply Co.

Now that I’m the proud owner of a Macbook Pro again (No, not new. Just off Craigslist) I decided to go case hunting. Here are my finds! (1) Velvet Idole (2) Sivanna Design on Etsy (3) Ccommeca on Etsy (4) Kazzki on Etsy (5) Squark on Etsy (6) Matt and Nat

Hello lovelies. I’m off today for MLK Day and I will be busy, busy freelancing and meeting clients but enjoy this Monday Link Love “Home/Office Accessories Edition.” I thought I’d include images only. Clicking on them takes you to the original source. Hope you all have a great day. XO

This year, we decided to shop local for all our Christmas gifts. So far, we’ve picked up two gifts (at Homage and Tigertree). Thought I’d share some of their products! Clicking the images also takes you to their online stores.

I had Veteran’s Day off so me and a pal decided to hit up the outlet mall near Columbus. I wasn’t expecting much. I grew up near an outlet mall that was comprised of about three fully functioning stores like Nike, Dress Barn and something else not worth remembering. This outlet mall, however, impressed me. You can see close representations of what I bought above. Each piece that I’ll link to is the current, “in-store” product (which totals to about $360 before tax). All the items that I purchased were also from the Banana Republic, J.Crew and Nine West and everything totaled $150. WIN! So now in my opinion, outlet malls = sweet. Also, I like grey.

1. Dulphine shimmer open cardigan from J.Crew 2. Matte opaque heathered tight from Banana Republic (I bought two pairs…no stretching!) 3. Workbook boot from Nine West (mine look different but comparable) 4. Jen textured mini skirt from Banana Republic and 5. Stretch twill Minnie pant from J.Crew,
