I am quite possibly the last person in the world who needs a new bag or tote, but these ones are calling my name anyway. Happily, two of them are surprisingly reasonable — the top one is $62.50 at DWR (it’s purse sized), and the bottom one is $62.76 at ASOS (it’s more of a weekend bag size). The adorable striped bow bag in the middle is from Ann Taylor. Sadly, it’s $178, but I think a similar look could be achieved by tying a scarf or wide ribbon in a bow around one handle. What do you think — any bags calling your name right now?

Yesterday I bought the first pair of Keds I’ve owned in, oh, fourteen or so years. These ones:

I love their simple and classic design, as well as the fact that the basic idea hasn’t changed since 1916, when the Champion was introduced. This spring and summer I’m looking forward to pairing mine with sundresses, skinny capris, and shorts, and am liking the Mischa Barton ad campaign from a few years back for inspiration.






I’ll be sure to update you once they rotate in to my wardrobe! Do you own a pair?

My friend Nancy wore an adorable Anthro headband to our dinner date on Saturday, which of course merited a trip to their website this morning. Hers was a multicolored braid of bright pastels on one side that reversed to pink embroidery and tiny seed pearls on the other — LOVE. Anthro doesn’t seem to have anything quite so cute in stock at the moment, but I did like the two above (here and here).
