These are a bit smaller that my usual over sized clutches, but I can make them in any size requested. 
The Lacey’s:
Lace in Grey, Black, Fuchsia, and Dark Teal. And a mesh lace in Gold!
Textured Shimmers:
Tiered Hearts, Grey Scales, and Waves.
Check them all out in the Shop. Place your Holiday orders! Drop me a message for custom requests.
Guys, it’s FRIDAY!!!
I can’t believe Friday is actually here!!! I thought this week was going to dragggg. BUT, it flew. And tonight, Lisa is picking me up after dinner and we are making the 6 hour drive to Sunny Anaheim, CA for 2 glorious days in DISNEYLAND! Yes. I’m so ready. I haven’t been in about 5 years and I miss it. I hope Lisa can handle my tears, because as soon as I hit Main Street USA in the evening and it’s all lit up, I cry. Every time without fail, I tear up. It makes me so happy to be in that place. It really is the happiest place on earth. Is it 8 yet? I’m ready to hit the road.
This week has been great. I Love having something BIG to look forward to. I got a good amount of work done this week. I kept myself fairly busy.I Love when life gets exciting and fast paced. Running around to get everything set. Packing, errands, what not. The good stress, the build up to something awesome, I Love it. I Love even more that, that part is over and now it’s almost time to leave.
I might just be talking crazy now… So, I apologize. I will be back Monday, hopefully with a collection of pictures with Disneyland covered in Halloween decor!

Things I can’t wait to do in Disneyland: Walk down Main Street! Look for a few hidden Mickeys, Ride Indiana Jones!!!! See CAPTAIN EO (never seen it) Ride the new Star Tours, ride Halloween themed Space Mountain, and Haunted Mansion, All the Fantasyland rides, especially Mr. Toads Wild Ride, Go on Tower of Terror like 10 times in a row. Wave hello to Pirates of the Carribean (Sadly, it will be closed this weekend, but we won’t let it get us down!!!!). There is so much more I want to do, OBVIOUSLY. Those are just my high priorities
Have you ever been to Disneyland?! What’s your favorite part about it?
Black and Tan for fall.
For a special little lady.
My niece, Sawyer is very much a lady. Homegirl LOVES shoes. like a lot. She puts on anyone and every ones shoes. Even when you are wearing them. I’ve seen her try to remove other peoples shoes to try them on. She shouts “shooooz, shooz!!” It’s the cutest thing ever. She also loves carrying her plastic keys (or her mother’s real keys) around with a toy mirror and fake dollar. She walks about the house like she’s got places to go! She has a toy purse, but she doesn’t really use it. It’s kind of odd shaped, has a face, plays music and well, it’s not very stylish. I really think she’s hip to it. So, yesterday I finally set out to put a mini Krust bag together for her as her mother requested a while ago. Here is the result!
It’s a tiny version of the angle clutch but made into a cross body with custom colors for this little mama on the go.
I think she likes it <3
Triangles and Stripes.
I Love my stripes. I have never been very adventurous when it comes to style. I Love my basics. But, I always love seeing other people’s fun outfits and I think to myself “dang, I want to wear that” And I set out to get myself dolled up. I shop as if I wear complex outfits. I have a closet full of skirts, and dresses, and blazers, and blouses, and wedges, and heels. But, when I really get down to it, I usually end up in some pair of jeans ( I do LOVE my denim), a simple tshirt, and some flats. I think the craziest print I go with is stripes!!! Pretty sad, right. I Love fun prints. But, I just find that I default to the most basic of things for whatever reason.
Top: H&M
Clutch: KRUST
I think my designs for the new bag line came from me trying to get some fun designs and prints into my boring outfits. They really spunk up a dull look. But, hopefully I can work them into some more complex looks. And the challenge begins…
Signs of Fall.
Fall is slowly arriving here. The Pumpkin Spice latte has been available at Starbucks for a few weeks, but I haven’t felt quite ready to order one yet. We barely had a Summer this yer and the few really nice days we did get came in August, and September has been full of warm weather too. This week, I feel like I just started to notice the signs of fall. Leaves on the ground, and a chill in the air, although the weather is still mostly great.
I always love the Summer to Fall transition. It’s my favorite. I Love a scarf over a tank top, and this is really the only time of year it works! So, I will be taking advantage.
This has been my go to bag all month. It goes with EVERYTHING. I am pretty stoked on it, but excited to break out the pink and tan pretty soon!!!
Tank: Sarah via Emily via Urban Outfitters 5 years ago.
Jeans: Nordstrom Rack
Flats: Some cheap shoe store at the Outlet mall…
Scarf: Forever 21
Purse: KRUST
Hope everyone is having fun breaking into their fall wardrobes! I sort of can’t wait to really dig into mine.
Week(s) in iPhone #16
So, I have been pretty absent on here lately. After the move, I just haven’t really felt much like posting. Mostly because I didn’t feel like I had much to post for whatever reason. But, tonight I decided to update, finally.
Life has been great since the move. I LOVE our house and I LOVE living with my brother and his family. I Love having Emily with me most days of the week while I’m working on stuff or to run errands with. And seeing my Niece and Nephews everyday. We have been having a lot of fun. Playing in our backyard, going on walks or bike rides, having family dinners, having friends over to just chill, watching all the new fall TV shows together, playing video games, and board games, decorating! painting our nails, drinking tea, and eating sweets and making Starbucks runs at 10pm. I am loving our commune living and hope we can ride it out as long as possible until it absolutely doesn’t work for us anymore. Because, life is good here.
And with that, here is a little iPhone photo update from the last month or more!!!!
Since moving into the new house, I have been very excited at the idea of making my Brother and Sister in laws, 2 dogs sleep with me in my bed. They love to burrow under the covers and it’s pretty cute. Well, Blue, the older one slept with me once, but he insists on sleeping with Mommy and Daddy otherwise. Coco, however, has spent most night in bed with me, and I love it. She is lying next to me as I type this like a little person, exactly as shown in the photo above. Her paws and head out of the covers. <3 the Coco.
I have been doing a bit of sewing. I attempted to make 2 dresses, but only 1 really came out :/ can’t win them all right?
I recently finished the photo collage on my bedroom wall. I am in love with. I’ll post better photos later! It’s lots of fun.
I get to see my Dad a lot more these days since he lives closer to me now. He comes over a couple times a week. It makes me so happy to see him so much more often now. He recently played Darth Vader for the kids and it was pretty awesome.
My sister and I babysat my niece and nephews one afternoon while my Brother and sister in law went to a Giants game, and Sawyer and Truman “helped” me to my laundry. They mostly sat in the laundry basket and put on all the clothes. Adorable.
So, we live across the street from the bay line. It’s pretty awesome. We have a really neat view out our living room window, and can zip across the street to walk, ride or whatever along a paved path the runs all along it. We discovered a couple little beaches close by along the path, that have made for a lot of fun walks.
The baby squirrel I could not resist getting pics of! I probably got closer than I should have, but I wasn’t messing with him, I promise. I just love his sweet face! And he was such a good sport, eating his discovered tomato skin and posing for pics. Don’t you love him? <3
I plan to be back to regular blogging again, now. I finally started taking pictures again last week, and I have some ideas and I’m ready to get back into the swing of things. I have a few sewing projects to share with you. And I am working on a few new color combos and bags to add to the shop soon!
Thanks to anyone who’s stuck around.
Fall 2011: Geometry.
I am so excited to share my new fall bags with you today!!! I went a different direction this time, and sort of kept with a theme. I am still using my core fabrics; the Tan, Grey and Black Duck canvas. It’s just a great sturdy fabric. And I LOVE the Tan color it comes in.
Check out the 10 new bags!!!
I knew I wanted to do a chevron stripe for the new fall line. And I had been wanting try to working in some neons and some variation of neons and neutrals together. This was as far as I went and I am so pleased with it. The Tan and pink is my absolute favorite bag. Although I do really love them all!
Get your Chevron cross body bag in the SHOP. Available in Tan/Pink, Grey/Green, or Black/White.
This is one design I came up with one day while doodling and sketching over the summer.
I came across this salmon linen before coming up with the design and when I was sketching, it felt like a no brainer to include it in this new line with the grey, tan and black. I LOVE this salmon color.
Get your Angled clutch in the SHOP. Available in Tan, Grey, Black, or Salmon.
I drew this one up one afternoon while babysitting this summer. I had discovered this teal denim a few months back and used to make a doily clutch with. I KNEW I wanted to use it again and somehow incorporate into the fall line I wanted to do. Once I finished the drawings, I was so excited to get to work on them. These were the first of the fall line that I had started and finished. Seeing them all done really motivated me to get the rest done. I LOVE how they came out.
Get your triangle clutch in the SHOP. Available in Teal, Black, or Tan.
Thanks for coming to check out the new bags! Let me know what you think.
I plan to continue to add to this line with other colors and designs throughout the Fall months. So, do stay tuned for more!
A GORGEOUS new banner.
I am SO incredibly excited about this post. I get to share with you my new HEADER! Seriously look at it. Are you not in Love? It’s ridiculous. I have always just made text headers, which are cool. But, the idea of having something really fun and custom to me and my blog was always something I wanted to somehow get up there.
Mallory contacted me with the idea of painting my bags a while back, and I was so excited to see what she would come up with. I could not imagine what it might look like but was pretty anxious to see. When I first saw the finished art, My heart was all a flutter. It feels incredible to see my bags so gorgeously represented in watercolors.
It’s just amazing. The detail she got on the doily?!?!?! I don’t even know how to express how beautiful I think that it is. I feel so established. I have artwork done of pieces I’ve made. Incredible.
Thank you, Mallory. Your creativity and artistic vision inspire me. I am so excited to know you and to have worked with you on this exchange. I can’t wait to continue to watch and follow all of the amazing things you will do.
