Laptop Pouch

In addition to a leather tote, I've also decided I NEED a laptop pouch.  I'm a real business woman with real business accessories and it's about time those accessories be leather or suede.

I just love these leather pouches from American Apparel.  HOWEVER, I am again challenged with the decision of what color?

BLACK SUEDE!?  OLIVE GREEN LEATHER!?  PURPLE LEATHER!?  YELLOW SUEDE!?

Leather Tote!

Suddenly it's become very obvious that I NEED a leather tote.

There are one million options, which stresses me out.  Generally, when shopping, I become overwhelmed and fear I haven't seen EVERY option.  If I can't see EVERY option, how will I know that I've selected the best one?!

Thank god for The Internet, otherwise I would have to walk into every single store in the world.

Anyway, to avoid going insane (to late?) I've narrowed my choices down and now I need some outside help.  This is the same bag in Black and Brown, which one is your favorite?

Thank you Cuyana for your beautiful Leather Tote $150.

apARTment

I've been loving picture shelves (is that what they're called?) lately.  I'm hoping to one day have a wall of them with millions of lovely photos in all different frames and sizes.  There's nothing like personal photos to make a house (or apartment) feel like a home.

I've started going through some photos we can frame in Unit C.

We've signed a lease!

We're moving into our new apartment, together, in one week!

I've drawn floorplans and furniture plans and noted optimal locations for new plants, now if I could only get the motivation to pack... Below are a few photos I took while I was looking at the place, they aren't great, but they'll have to do!

Recommended by Mieke and mentioned in my latest Le Weekend post, this is just the most lovely store in all the land.  If I could live in this store, I would.

I've been looking for the perfect striped T for a very long time, if only this one came in my size.

farmer's market

I'm new to the Capitol Hill Farmer's Market but I feel grown up and classy when I go.  It makes me want to wear a striped sundress and carry a classy tote filled with flowers and fresh tomatoes.  I'm hoping to make the market part of my Sunday routine!

le weekend

Is there such thing as a perfect weekend?  I THINK SO!

Friday kicked off with a birthday bang at a new (to me) bar and a stellar cake by the one and only Mieke. There was Ski Ball, Nachos, love, laughs and CANS OF CHAMPAIGN! I've never felt so classy.

Saturday Brunch with Lindsey (L) and Kawika (a weekend ritual) is simply the perfect way to start the day.  No matter how tired, hungry or grumpy I am when I arrive, I always leave with a big goofy grin and a very happy belly.  No one makes me laugh as hard as L.  

Sunday started at the Farmers Market where I found fancy blue cheese, strawberries and the warm summer sun on my shoulders.  Brett and his three French visitors spent the morning skateboarding Seattle so I headed up to Capitol Hill and wondered in and out of every store.

Top Finds:

1. A bead shop that has inspired me to make some of my own jewelry.  I'm thinking large coral beads on a simple black T.

2. A store recommended to me by Mieke, Totokaelo.  Unreal.  This place deserves it's own post.

Later, Brett and I took a stroll in the late afternoon sun.  He's simply the very best walking buddy a girl could ask for.  When we returned home the Frenchmen made us authentic French crepes with the fancy blue cheese from the market.

Sundays always end with a sad goodbye to Brett as he returns to Port Orchard and a happy episode of Seinfeld.

Until next time!

le chat

It's not fair to have a cat in a studio apartment but someday I'll have a kitty chillin' in my window too, and the curtains will be fabulous.  There's nothing better than taking a nap with your cat, am I right?

uniform

The perfect uniform!  White shirt, black pants (or jeans), blazer . . . jewels optional.

I guess the only thing keeping me from wearing the same thing every day is missing getting dressed in the morning, no matter how difficult it can be sometimes.

Thank you, Zara!

stripes in bed

My boyfriend and I are moving in together, it's the perfect excuse to redecorate! New sheets, new throws, new curtains, new furniture, new apartment!  I figured pillow cases were as good a start as any.  Something cute but not too feminine.  I love them!

Many thanks to Target.
