I'm dreaming of a leather satchel

I'm sure it's no surprise that my wandering eye (a.k.a the part of me that online shops regardless of the ever-decreasing $ in my bank/ever-increasing student loans) tends to gravitate toward bright colors. But recently I've begun to notice my taste has taken a turn toward quality, too. I no longer want to spend less money on cheaper clothes/bags/shoes that will fall apart in a month. Quality means you can own things longer, ultimately saving money if it lasts long enough, and the more you wear something well/hand-made, the more it feels like yours. Rather than falling apart or pilling or stretching or staining - I now own a small number of pieces that age like a fine wine. (I don't like wine, so let's change that to a fine cheese). 
Anyway, the latest bag to give me heart-eyes is the leather satchel from Trinity Place Department Store (in NYC). The best part of this bag is that it's real leather, it's hand-crafted, will last years and year - AND IT STILL COMES IN FUN COLORS. Do you know how difficult that is to find? I love this department store for just that; charm and unpredictability do not have to equal novelty, and they do not have to sacrifice quality.  Here are my favorite colors (I think my favorite is the hot pink or one of the light blues). 

Anyway, now that I'm content in my dreamland, I should tell y'all that Trinity Place is holding a sweepstakes, and you could win $500. That's enough to buy a satchel in at least 2 colors!!! Or maybe you could look at their other radical pieces too...You can enter the sweepstakes here! Tell me what you would buy!
I gotta say I'm in love with all the amazing sofas...


dream wardrobe...dream home...*drools all over keyboard*
happy shopping, y'all!! XOXO

half a year later

Oops, I didn't post for half a year. Turns out doing a PhD is a lot of work! It's summer now, though, so that excuse doesn't work. I've fallen behind on almost all of my internet responsibilities - except for instagram, which I use more than anything else at the moment. Only a month and a half left of summer then I dive back into school. Trying to enjoy the time I have right now, just existing in montreal, learning french and seeing friends and spending all my money on food. Here's what you may have missed from the past 6 months:  Butterball had surgery on his entropion! Thank you to everyone who donated to help us afford this surgery for him. He is so so much happier now. All healed up!  My brother and my niece (not his daughter, my other brother's daughter lol) xoxo
