A Very Fashionable Holiday

As the holidays approach, my mailbox is becoming more and more inundated with catalogs filled with gift ideas and new fall shipments. Urban Outfitters has put together some quirky and playful images to get us in the seasonal spirit. From pumpkin harvesting to Christmas light decorating and everything in between (dim sum feast included), the models are ready for what looks like a Southern California holiday. It was the lack of snow and their bare legs and shoulders that tipped me off.

Cross Your Heart

While taking a stroll to a neighborhood restaurant last night, it came to my attention that I've been walking out the door with this bag every single day this past week. There's something special about the simplicity of throwing on a lightweight cross-body holding only my true necessities. It's a nice change from an oversized hobo that easily becomes a clutter magnet, not to mention a shoulder ache waiting to happen. With tons of different crossbody styles, it wouldn't hurt to see what other options there are on the market.
