Bag Love







I bought this bag back in June and I can't remember if I ever pimped it out properly on the blog. So, just in case, I'mma tell you about it now: it's from the vintage Fossil collection, cost more than I am comfortable with spending these days, and rocks my world. And it photographs so well! I even splurged and bought the matching wallet. Don't you just want to do naughty things to it? Pet the smooth, rich leather? Teabag the front pocket where I keep my keys? Etc, etc? Yeah, it's okay. So do I.

And I like my polka-dots, too.

My boyfriend is down a-visiting for the first part of the weekend, so I'm going to keep this short and sweet to reduce the guilt I have of blogging while he patiently waits for me. We're going to the park today. We might even have a picnic, because you know what? I finally found a goddamned picnic basket! It was 50% off at Target and is cute as all hell. I think this calls for a photoshoot.

I'll be catching up on all your blogs later! What are you up to this weekend?

Dress: Free People
Sweater: Abercrombie (I think)
Shoes: UO
Bag: Fossil

  2. I need a pic-a-nic basket. (Doesn't that remind you of Yogi Bear?) Mr. A and I have yet to go on a picnic, but that is probably because I am deathly afraid of any and all bugs, especially those that are drawn to food outside. *shudder* Nightmares.

    This bag is absolutely wonderful. I have several bags with these long shoulder straps that can also be held by a strap in your hand. I always hold the bag. I never shoulder strap it, but you have inspired me to give that a shot.

  4. That bag is absolutely gorgeous. I almost bought it myself like three of four times and then I didn't. Boo. I also love your dress and your cute little face that I just want to grab and flubber kiss. PBBBTTTTT! Sorry, not sure what happened.

    So, this weekend is my big performance on aerial silks. Freaking out. Really exhausted and full of anxiety but also excited to perform. I love performing. Wish I could look out into the audience and see your face and then blow you kisses. Oops, got all creepy again.

    xoxo,

  6. Oh yeah, the bag is sensational! The color is so rich, it really does look expensive! You just reminded me that I have a proper picnic bag. I should whip that out before this Minnesota summer goes away (and we all know it's soon enough.) Have fun with your bf, photos are in order, indeed. Me, I'm off to a concert and a play at the Orpheum tomorrow. ;)

  16. I love your look! especially the bag. I love that your pictures have a woodsy feel to them. Target has picnic baskets? Now all I have to do is find one and convince someone into going on a picnic with me. Have fun!!

  28. Oh my GOSH. That is the most perfect bag ever! I mean it! I would carry that beauty every single day. It's the perfect size and has that glorious old look to it. Oh, and you look like a freakin' model.

  29. Ok, "tea bag the front pocket"... possibly the funniest thing I've ever read on a blog (or anywhere else)! That bag is pretty sexy though haha! It looks super good with your dark hair too (which sounds like a weird compliment, but whateva! ) ;)

    ReplyDelete
  30. that bag is a dream, and totally worth whatever it cost. You will have it forever, your grand kids will probably have to pry it out of your cold dead hands. (and then argue about who gets it)

    And on a less strangely morbid note,
    I hope you have a really wonderful picnic!
