Two bags

So Coach for the past few years has been so overrated by the typical American buyer. What was once a high quality brand that produced traditional baseball mitts and a few fine leather goods suddenly became the brand with the printed canvas bucket caps and matching mules, basically the Mid-West's Gucci. However there are still a few good things about Coach left, like these two bags. Both are across-the-waist train engineer-type bags, and they are from Coach's original line. The smaller tan bag runs for around $298 and the larger black bag for $258.

Le Prince Jardinier

Le Prince Jardinier is a gardening, picnic-ing shop based out of Paris. I love just about everything they have to offer, and surprisingly they are all at very reasonable prices. Since I don't actually have a garden (yet) the bag is about the only thing that makes sense to own right now, and it's only 48.00 €. These are just some of the highlights.

Little dishes

I love these porcelain bowls by artist Hella Jongerius. I want one for every room.

101st Post

To celebrate my 101st post I will talk about the charmed life I used to lead...actually I won't but, I really did enjoy spending my Saturday evenings at The Breakers in Palm Beach. It makes me wonder if I was ever a 'real' high school girl. Hell, I carried a clutch instead of a backpack by the time I was in my junior year. Granted I had those Taco Bell runs in the middle of the night, but a few times doesn't count. What changed? I think I might be living in a completely different world. I don't feel the same, and I certainly don't feel the same about luxury and excess. I miss convenience but I don't miss wasteful living. My head's been cleared and the game is over.

Audrey Hepburn & Ip

I'm not Audrey obsessed like most girls, but I am obsessed with the fact that she actually had a pet deer named Ip. I also really love these photos and the spaces they were photographed in. You can find more rare photos of Audrey (for you crazed Audrey-ers) on this flickr account.

Belts

In addition to the pants below, these belts are fantastic. All from Ralph Lauren.

Pants

I need all of these pants to fulfill my need to be an Argentine polo player/gaucho cowgirl. All available from Ralph Lauren. Sadly when I came across these pants, it seems they removed or sold out of the Navajo wrap that I loved to death. How the hell am I going to complete my look without that damn wrap?
