I have so many fun, new things to add to the shop. It sort of keeps piling up. I hope to get the rest up tomorrow night when I can sit down and spend some time adding everything. But, tonight I was too anxious and had to be sure I could get just one new bag in. So, here it is! She is quite lovely.

Matching Doily tote friends at the Taco Festival last weekend!
I love it so much, I had to share it again. I am so grateful to have the support system that I have in my group of friends <3
Buy the Doily tote, HERE.
I recently did a bit of treasure hunting and collecting and have compiled a bit of spread of some GORGEOUS and stylish bloggers rockin’ their striped zipper clutches! It’s definitely my most popular bag, and my favorite. It goes with everything! Check out these lovelies and how they have styled theirs…

I Love Juley’s outfit photos. I feel like I’m looking at my bag in an ACTUAL fashion spread.
Home girl has some serious style.

See more here, here, and here!
Stephanie of Mrs. Stephanie T., Mandy of Harper’s Happenings, and Elsie of A Beautiful Mess.
Such an honor to see these ladies carrying my bag. A couple of my favorite and inspired by bloggers.
See more of Stephanie looking adorable (red jeans and stripes? prefect) here.
See more of Mandy sporting her bag in one of her Steppin’ Out Saturday post here!
See more of Elsie with her bag in her Daily outfit post titled Red Velvet (!) here.
I so hope I get to do more posts like this. I Love stumbling upon outfit posts that happen to feature a pretty little bag that I remember putting together. I get all warm and fuzzy.
If you have any pics of you carrying your itsKrust bags, please send them my way! itskrust@gmail.com

If you didn’t already see them last week, here they are!
I added eight new simple, yet glamorous evening/ cocktail clutches to the shop. I made these for a Holiday shopping boutique I attended a couple weeks ago, and thought I’d offer them up to everyone.
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.
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.

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…
I’m pretty wiped out tonight. So, I am only sharing one quick (revealing) photo of one the new bag designs! I finished these first, and LOVE the way they turned out. This pic was a couple weeks ago, while I started working on the line.
Are you at all intrigued? Check back tomorrow for another peek at bags from the new line. All new bags will be available on Thursday September 1st! I am so excited to take real pictures of them all together today. Weeeeeeeeeeeee!
It has been sunny in my town, but super windy and not so warm this week. And actually cold where I babysit and hang out about 20 miles north. What’s up, Summer? Get it together. I want to sit by my pool this weekend.
I took some spotty photos out out in the sun as the sun was lowering the other day. I sort of love the glare on the lens. As I looked at the photos, I immediately starting singing Sunspots by NIN in my head. Haven’t listened to that album in awhile. Forgot how much I enjoy that song.

I think it is pretty crazy how you can hear a song, and instantly remember everything about past places and feelings. As I listen to this song, I am taken to another place entirely. It’s pretty amazing. Music is almost a unit of measurement for my life.
“She turns me on
She makes it real
I have to to apologize
For the way I feel
And nothing can stop me now
There is nothing to fear
And everything that ever was
Is inside us here”
Okay, seriously. I LOVE this tote. I carried for this time last week, and now I use it for everything. I have been using it a bit as my 2nd bag too… I’m a bit of a bag lady. Since I live about a 25 minute drive from where my friends and family live and my babysitting job, I like to bring extra “stuff” along for the ride. Some tennis shoes, a clean shirt, my laptop in case I can work, my big camera in case I see my niece and nephews. I am always kicking myself when I don’t have something. And I tend to get uncomfortable about it. It’s an issue I have. So, lately I’ve been carrying a 2nd bag for my extras. And this one has been super handy.
This day, however, was one of the days I carried it as my only purse. It was great. My sister and I took a trip to Target for groceries and other essentials. I felt almost like I was on vacation. I don’t wear shorts this short much as of lately anymore. I braved it after some tanning though. But, I felt like I belonged closer to the beach or maybe in TAHOE! (Soon enough). It was a nice summertime outfit.

I know I say it a lot, but I really just cannot believe how fast time is flying by.
I am anxious, however, for Monday morning to get here. I’m ready to start the week! I have a lot to work on here over the next couple days, and even on my babysitting days. Just have a lot to continue to prepare before the vendor event, while also keeping up on orders. I cannot wait for it to be all ready to go! So, I’m ready for Monday.
I did take some time this weekend to relax. I got to see the new Pirates of The Caribbean movie with my Dad. Took a quick trip to San Francisco with Emily for an eventful shopping trip. I Love any outing with Emily. We always seem to have fun doing the most mundane errands. I did a little organizing around my bedroom. I looked at a potential new home (CROSS YOUR FINGERS), that could be pretty great for my sister and I. And I celebrated a friends birthday with my pals complete with wine, Chicago style pizza, macaroons, cake and ice cream. Perfect ending to the weekend.
Now, I attempt sleep and wait for morning to get here!
