Red Purse

I have been on a quest for a red purse. I had two requirements - cheap and preferably vegan and vintage - okay that's maybe three. Not that I am rabidly anti-leather, I wear leather but not all the time. And not that I am committed to all things vintage but for something I will only use occasionally (I like to rotate my bags but not necessarily in a 'matchy-matchy to the outfit' way), I think it is entirely reasonable to reuse something that already exists rather than buy something new and encourage the landfill shops (I stole that term from the fabulous Middle-aged Teacher).

So after much searching and a week of it sitting in my Etsy favorites, this is what I decided on. I like the shape, it's kind of unusual and I love the outside pockets for keys, phone, keycard, etc. It's from ThreeChicksVintage on Etsy.com. They have some cool stuff. I hope it gets here soon.

Nothing to blog about

Normally I wait until I actually have something to say before I blog.  That means blog entries are few and far between.  So I decided to blog daily even if it is simply trivia.  Still probably a decent discipline.

It's Tuesday morning.  I haven't left for the office yet because I am waiting for an 8:30 conference call.

Just got a free year's subscription to Lucky magazine because it came free with tee shirts I got Mr. Elfcookie from Amazon.  Hopefully it will still be publishing in a year.

Excited that Gil Simmons on Channel 8 said that actual summer weather is coming.  I am so jealous of the folks in the wardrobe_remix group that can wear cute summer stuff and I'm still dressing for March which is what it feels like - rainy, windy and cold.  

Just saw a really cute photo of a cutoff skirt with safety pins lining the pockets.  Kudos to cuteness.

Speaking of cuteness - can't wait to see Rintarou in the flesh - or at least on Skype for now - in the flesh in August.  We fly to Japan on our second wedding anniversary.  No one can say we don't know how to celebrate!! 15 hour flight - non-stop from JFK to Tokyo.
