Happy Spring!
Hope you are all finding a way to put a little bit of Spring in the cold grey day! I was foolish enough to leave the house in a skirt and heels without tights, how naive of me! All these months of covering and layering blacks, greys and blues really pushes a gal to find some color so right now I am so obsessing over a new lot of bags we just got in. While it's not quite time to put away the wool just yet, there's nothing wrong with trading in your winter-worn tote with something a bit more fun!
I seriously went to bed last night thinking about this tote! |
A little more subdued, I just love the woven fabric inset |
Great little bucket bag-this shape always has such a great way of looking relaxed but totally chic. |
We've got piles of awesome woven straw market totes just waiting in the wings! |
Vintage Esprit cobalt blue messenger purse-this will easily become a new staple! Hope you can brave the drizzly day and come visit these and so many more lovelies! |

Bag full of cozy
Well, despite the GORGEOUS day (seriously, go outside, now!), you know that fall is here. It's time to put away your party clutches and mini satchels, the days of just needing some sun screen and lipstick are pretty much over. I absolutely love the start of this season, with foggy morning, unpredictable skies and crisp breezes, but it does call for some planning ahead. I also love big soft purses that are perfect for toting your scarf, sweater, tea mug, umbrella and depressing book that you mean to start reading as soon as the weather is dreary enough. Vintage purses seem especially well suited to this time of year, be it one with gorgeous woven detailing, a classic structured shape, or warm '70s brown tones. The shop is amazingly well stocked at the moment with bags of all sorts:

Tiny Treasures
My entire life has been an exercise in organization. I pretty much figured out that I was doomed to be any thing but put together when I was in the 1st grade and my teacher made me skip recess to clean my desk because I kept loosing my home work. My papers resisted the binds of any Trapper Keeper, and any and all pencils quickly freed themselves from the sturdiest of dollar store pouches. Becoming and adult has changed none of that, except for the fact that my accessories are not brightly colored or decorated with animals. I'm a large purse kinda lady-mostly because I figure the more space I have, the more wallets, make up bags, coin purses, etc., I can use to keep my life in order. Yet, ask me for my phone, a lip gloss, or a quarter, and you'll suffer through me emptying out the entire contents of my bag because the exact thing I need is hidden away in the darkest, most crumb filled corner of my tote. Seriously-I just gathered up $2.64 in change from that little black hole; my coin purse didn't contain a penny of it. While my struggle may never end, there are always plenty of motivators-check out all of these little lovelies that arrived today!
Darling 1910s coin purse-just the right size for those emergency phone booth quarters you mother always tells you to keep. |
Lovely variety of leathers, colors and sizes |
Gorgeous 1930s brass and enamel pill box-you could even just use it for mints for a bit of dramatic mystery. |
Beautiful vintage Coach zip pouch with blue striped lining-you can be a total wreck and this will still make you feel great. |
The best make up bag ever! This would make me even more obsessive about my lip balm just so I could take it out of my purse every 15 minutes. |

All Aboard!
Sigh, isn't it just one of those most perfect days, ever? The kind that almost make you feel guilty you get to live in the Pac NW because generally, the worst thing we have to deal with is "Juneuary", while the rest of the country is (sadly, literally), burning up. Today is the kind of day that causes almost physical pain as you drive past the freeway exit signs pointing towards Ocean Beaches, Mt. Hood, and the airport on your way to your job. What's the point of summer when you can't get away with wearing the same pair of jeans 4 days in a row or eat only cheese, bread and wine for lunch every day and no one has a problem with it? I have a pretty amazing road trip planned for the end of next month, but the endless waiting, along with the knowledge that the trip will pass way too quickly, is giving me a bit of anxiety. I think it's time for some arm chair travelling. But first, you gotta (over)pack!
I don't get to travel (in the real world) nearly as much as I would like, so I've never had the need to get "grown up" luggage. Granted, my dream luggage is covered in animals-
I usually stick with super bright tote bags so I have easy access to all the chocolate and wasabi peas I require for any extended period of driving. Some day, when I am mature enough not to get food stains on all of my possessions, I will move on to a sleeker, sexier version of the good old tote. Something like this!
And you will remind every girl who sees you of our universal crush-
And, if you're stuck in town all summer and are feeling pretty bitter about it, well, at least all of these bags are large enough to hold a sweater to deal with the insane A.C. in your office-
I don't get to travel (in the real world) nearly as much as I would like, so I've never had the need to get "grown up" luggage. Granted, my dream luggage is covered in animals-
this is only my 2nd reference to a Wes Anderson film in this blog. Don't worry, there is another one coming up. |
So, so buttery soft and totally sturdy, it can easily hold a few days of clothing and a pair of shoes. And, it does tricks! |
You can clip the bottom corner to the top and still have space for books and papers and other smart person ephemera! |
For the more rugged traveler, nothing beats a classic canvas and leather trim backpack, or a sturdy, old school frame rucksack-
If you vacation plans revolve around getting a sunburn in exotic locales such as the Sandy River and your parents back yard, all of these sweet bags are perfectly organized to hold your sunglasses, SPF, and at least a couple of beers-
For the gentleman of a particular taste, I promise that you don't have to use this only for tennis-
$40 for the frame pack, $28 for the canvas |
Between $14-$18 |
'80s Adidas bag, $32 |
Sorry, you'll have to supply your own hawk. |
Color, it makes you happy, right? RIGHT??? |
