Happy Holidays!

I've had two yummy Christmas dinners and we're about to have a third with the whole Light family. After that: naps, Scrabble and Home Alone all afternoon.

Merry Christmas!

Good Girl

You know that green bag I bought? Well, it turns out that it's a fake. I only own one designer bag so when I got my "Dooney and Bourke" bag in the mail, I wanted to do some research on it. What I found were many differences between my bag and authentic bags. I emailed the seller and she was just as surprised as I was. She's accepting the return and I have learned some valuable lessons:
1. know who you are. As much as I'd like to be, I'm not a designer-handbag girl. I'm a tote-bag girl all the way.
2. research before you buy! I only had to do a little online research to find the differences between what's real and what's fake.
3. don't keep buying things I don't need! I have a closet full of bags. Did I really need another one?

There.
All settled.

Bad Girl

Last week, I bought this Dooney and Bourke leather tote from Becky Drolen's vintage shop on etsy. Though it was an impulse buy (peer pressure!), I am convinced that it's going to become my favorite bag. Check out her shop--Becky has great vintage clothes, bags and accessories at very reasonable prices.

I'm enjoying these illustrations by UK illustrator, Clare Owen--especially her illustrations of kitties!

Ring

I love these rings by Bernice Kelly. I'm more of a scarf-and-occasionally-a-necklace kind of girl but I could become an every-day ring wearer with one of these.

I'm Back!

I've borrowed my family's laptop so I'll be posting regularly again. Speaking of family, here's a preview of a photo shoot we did for my parent's 30th wedding anniversary (December 7th). My friend Alexis Rittle took the pictures of us goofing off in Mount Gretna, PA. Don't judge me on my jumping skills--I always jumped too early!
