Chicago

posted in Pretty, Shiny Things, The Kitchen Sink, This Little Blog |

Off to Chicago this week for a firm training event.  Hopefully, I’ll see some of you when I get there!  I’m sure I’ll come back wanting to move there (again).  Unfortunately, moving to Chicago necessarily involves not living in California anymore and I’m not quite ready to leave just yet.  Plus, it’s cold there.

Also, on a blog-keeping note, I’ve finally figured out how to post pictures.  For those of you who requested a picture of the retro-y dress I alluded to in an earlier post, I actually found an occasion in which to wear it (to celebrate one of my best friend’s being done with his PhD!) and have pictures to post.  As soon as I figure out how to strategically crop it to maximize anonymity and minimize my waistline, I’ll post it.  =)

Updated:  See below!  (If this headless photo creeps you out, let me know.  I’m not sure about this including pictures thing yet.)  How cute would this dress look with any one of the green bags I’ve been eyeing?  It would also look great with this exorbitantly expensive, but gorgeous, chocolate bag or this much more affordable, and eminently more purchasable, brown bag.

P.S.  Happy Birthday Bud!  Love you!

    That first bag is 2.5x as much as any bag that I’ve purchased, ever. The affordable option resembles a Bottega Veneta bag. Yes, BV is even further from our reach than Gucci. And yes, cute dress!

    Of course, I’m never actually going to get the chocolate one (waaaayyyy too expensive), but a girl can dream. The Spiegal purse definitely looks like the Bottega one, but I think anything woven looks Bottega since they’ve cornered the market on high end woven bags.
