// A Home for all your things...

Having been living out of a bag for the past two+ months, organization has become paramount. These homemade multi-sized pouches by Simbiosisbyjulia make the perfect home for everything from electronics, cords & chargers, cosmetics, change... anything! Check out her Etsy store here.

// Bag Lust

Until recently, I'd been lugging around a large yellow tote that was starting to look a little worn and sad. I looked at a lot of bags on my quest for the perfect purse. It needed to be durable, made of leather and big enough to fit my wallet, a sweater, a book and random cosmetics. Here are some of my favorites... three bags and one wallet I couldn't resist including!

1. Banana Republic, Scala Hobo purse $198; 2. Hobo International, Robin wallet, $78; 3. Kate Spade, Darien Stevie, $365; 4. BCBG, Convertible Satchel, $378.

// Ahoy!

Dreaming of sunshine & warmer days.... Boating anyone?

1. J.Crew, French sailor tie-front underwire halter top$46 2. Anthropologie, Golden Rope headband, $58 3. Top Sider, Women's Montauk Slip-on, $90 4. Oonagh by Nanette Lepore, Charlie Tunic Dress, $128

Ring appreciation

My heart stopped when I saw this ring on 100 Layer Cake this morning.

So beautiful. Elegant. Antiquey.

cuchè collection

I came across these cute suits by cuchè in my inbox this morning. Not only are the suits sexy & sophisticated, but they're designed & made right here in Vancouver, Canada.

After all the chaos leading up to a wedding and summer quickly approaching, I think we all deserve a cute new suit.

Shop cuchè here.

I stumbled upon these beautiful felt flowers through her great blog. What a great way to accessorize a dress, shirt, tank top... anything!!

Hot!

My BMs and I will be wearing red heels on "the big day"... which means I have an excuse
to shoe shop :) I'm digging these red Jeffrey Campbell hells (they look cute, yet comfy), and I've been lusting after these sexy little shoes by Objects in Mirror since I laid eyes on them (though, i'm having a tough time rationalizing the $300 on sale pricetag).

Etsy Love

I have to monitor the time I spend on Etsy, or I'd constantly binge shop.

I'm loving these beautiful clutches (from here) and these earings (made by my dear friend Carly). If only I had my ears pierced.

'Bout obsession...

I just had to blog this site. Far too cute.
Found it via here.

How to...

$10,000 wedding just posted a link to a step by step boutonniere making tutorial from Martha Stewart!
I'm loving the textured fabrics juxtaposed with herbs & flowers.
These were my original inspiration.

Brooklyn Bride

Not only does Brooklyn Bride have an amazingly inspirational & informative blog... but I just found out that she has her own etsy shop selling handmade ring cushions. So ridiculously beautiful.

I heart Etsy

I keep finding myself in incredible little etsy shops wanting to buy everything the artist has to offer. I ran across this cool flowered brooch on her site and was of course impressed when I got to the artist's site (Delicious Soul). I love this necklace (top centre)... and it's only $22!

I'm also obsessing a bit over her shop.
