Happy and sad all in one day


The happy...Yesterday I had a photo shoot for my bags with the super talented Lindsey Beckwith of Lindsey Beckwith Photography. I cannot tell you how much fun it was and how creative Lindsey was with the bags and the models. Pic's were taken both inside the studio and outside in the cold and slightly snowy weather. The models Jessica and Kara were beautiful and did not complain once about being outside without a jacket. I cannot wait for the final product as I know it will be amazing.

The sad...decided to spend the evening catching up on emails, blogs, and maybe pay some bills. Figured I would pay the bills first and get that horrible task out of the way. To my surprise the bank balance was quite a bit lower than it had been the day before. Turns out someone stole my husbands debit card number and went shopping! Quite a bit of shopping! Frantic I called the number on the back of my card and put those debit cards to rest. Unfortunately the damage was done. I was a wreck. Now I am mad. The bank is working on this with us and we are not liable for any charges thank goodness. But I will tell you the bank wants their money back and they are serious about tracking these people down. I hope they find them. I work really hard for my money...let me pay my bills please!

Is this not gorgeous?!?

Ok I admit it, I have been spending the morning shopping the internet. I am having one of those days where I am sick of it being January and with the sun shining this morning, I desperately want it to be spring. A few stops at my favorite stores and then I found this beautiful outfit at Anthropologie. Is it not gorgeous??? I love the sophisticated look of a tonal outfit. What a great look to ease into spring with.



The fine folks at Anthropologie have even included a shopping list so you can buy the complete outfit. Now hang on...the entire outfit will take you back $872.95. Ok maybe one or two of the pieces (maybe 3)! What do you think of tonal outfits?

Let it be Spring!!!

I got a bit spoiled by the near 50 degree weather we had here last weekend. Got me in the mood to debut new Spring bags. Check out Morgan - sleek and sophisticated and in new yummy fabrics perfect for Spring. And as promised evening bags are starting to make an appearance. We begin with Ava, a framed bag perfect for evenings out.

For those of you who were planning on seeing the girls of Blue Orchid at the March show Artfully in Bloom, we have a bit of bad news. The show is being rescheduled for Fall. Don't fret, as new shows are confirmed for Spring we will let you know.

Stay warm...
