Email: Leather’s in the bag.

I adore leather purses. Anthropologie is endlessly tempting me with their selection of colors and shapes. Today’s email is particularly enticing. The Chocolate Spritz Bag ($178) looks good enough to eat; the Hushed Hue Bag ($178) has a wonderful summery tone and I am obsessed with the Chipper Tote ($199). Dearest Anthro, please send one of each of these plus…

Rufflepotamus revisited (Plaza Cardigan)

Last month I reviewed the Plaza Cardigan (scroll down to the bottom of the post) which quickly sold out online. Over the past week the gorgeous Moth piece has started making its way into stores.
