I’m so surprised that I never blogged about Envirosax or LOQI and that’s why I’m taking the opportunity to do this today. I believe being environmentally conscious is a good thing, which means decreasing our use of plastic bags and such. My neighborhood has also ceased the recycling of plastic shopping bags and have required …
The Raven
We were really there for my husband… to help him find a day hiking backup at Ramsey Outdoor in Succasunna, New Jersey. It’s one of those times when you find something special for yourself too ;). Fairly often I find myself slightly dehydrated and fatigued on longer hikes despite bringing along a bottle of water. …

The Glitter of Manhattan Portage…
This time all that glitters is gold! With it’s many great features of generous depth to fit more on-the-go necessities, leather-free, overall practicality (and even comes with velcro silencing patches), and attractive styling (eye catchingly glittery non-glitter good whether for day or night), I knew I had to own a bag from Manhattan Portage’s newly …
Getting Organized with Walker Bags
My recent solution to messy contents sloshing around in my handbag are the helpful and lovely double zip pocket Walker Bags. I love them in metallic mesh for their elegance, though they do come in a range of other playful colors and even in single pockets. *Photocredit: Walker Bags
Leather Backpacks
Many years ago when I first began my graduate program, I carried a very handsome and dependable Perlina black leather backpack. I remembered one snowy night, quite like today, I decided to walk home rather than to wait for the bus (which was uncharacteristically delayed). The backpack had survived my walk through the harsh weather …
Rebecca Minkoff’s & Lanvin’s Cute Crossbodys
I’ve finally discovered the joy of crossbodys after putting aside a long time bias towards those extra large satchels. It’s a choice of carrying your essentials versus all those what-ifs (which many times do not come to fruition) and especially a no brainer when shoulder and backaches are concerned. Minkoff and Lanvin does it in …
Rebecca Minkoff’s & Lanvin’s Cute Crossbodys
I’ve been loving crossbody bags recently for the obvious reasons (hands-free option and when a big heavy bag isn’t preferable). They are great for date nights (especially theater nights) and when you need to carry only necessities for classes or on errands. Here are two favorites of mine: Rebecca Minkoff Classics MAC Crossbody Clutch: “Oversized …
On Holiday with Vera Bradley’s Grand Traveler & Weekender
Recently my husband and I traveled to England and Wales. I brought my Vera Bradley Viva La Vera Weekender as my carry-on and really loved this bag for its generous pockets and ease of carrying. It kept all my belongings well organized and nicely accessible; with the added plus of being made with cheery patterned, …
Handbag Phenom: Onna Ehrlich
I’m lusting over Onna Ehrlich’s Francoise Croco Bowler and Dawn Croco handbags! They are so gorgeous, roomy, and look well-made! Simple design- I love that because some handbags are wayyy overly designed… ugh… I’ve only seen these two particular bag styles offered no more than once or twice in sample sales. Both times I missed …
