Put a Bike on It.

Perhaps you've heard of the brilliant Portlandia sketch "Put a Bird on It." Well in my world, if you Put a Bike on It, I'll buy it. :)

I was powerless over resisting this adorable tote! The Timbuk2 website was out of them but I found one on eBay. I swear I was innocently browsing the website looking for a Kindle case for my mom when I came across this. It wasn't my fault. My collection of bags is growing dangerously out of control, but I must the say the quality, generous size and overall cuteness of this tote makes it a welcome addition to my collection. It's a keeper.

Me? A Winner?!

I can't believe it! I actually won something! It's been a running joke between me and boyfriend that neither of us ever win anything. And then yesterday it all changed! I won a pair of Chrome knickers from one of my favorite blogs - Lovely Bicycle!

This is the post that announced my win. And this is the original post about the knickers that were up for grabs.

Unfortunately for Velouria, the pants didn't fit her. Her loss is my gain! As soon as I receive the pants, I'll give them a try and write a review. Look for it here and also over on Lovely Bicycle.


Thank you, Velouria, for finally making me a winner!!!

I Had To Do It!

I went to a sample sale with some friends last night and I was very good. I almost got out the door without buying anything but at the last minute I saw this silk Moschino scarf!

So I brought it home. Can you blame me? I mean really! How cute is this? It had my name all over it. I love silk scarves. I've scored a couple of beautiful Hermes and Pucci on eBay but this one takes the cake. Not only is it the cutest, but the silk is fabulously drapey, slouchy and well...silky. Since I've bought so much grey this Fall/Winter, I'm so happy to have this pop of bright, beautiful color to keep things from getting too bland.
