Finally, a Stylish Work Tote

I've been searching for one since the beginning of time it seems, and I think I've finally found it - Australian Annabel Ingall's Isabella Large Tote. I'm debating between the Persian Blue or Saddle. Or maybe both? And do I get one that's large and the other small? Argh! Decisions, decisions.

Sundry Tees and Zady

I love me a comfy, super soft tee. I know it sounds simple but in fact it's really hard to find. When I stumbled upon Sundry one day on Shopbop and Zady - and on sale on Shopbop - I rejoiced! Not only did I find the perfect tee but I GOT. IT. ON. SALE! Purchased the Powder version as opposed to Old Black. The brand exudes such California Cool. And made with super soft supima cotton there's no better tee out there.

Sundry!

Born in Aix-en-Provence, and now based in LA, Sundry founder Mathieu Le Blan knows what's up. Love his laid-back style - and his products exude that perfect worn-in, comfortable look but with a twist of tres chic. A juxtaposition of French chic meets LA cool if you will.

I first found out about Sundry on Zady, founded by one of my former colleagues' wife, Maxine Bedat along with co-founder Soraya Darabi. Zady's been big news in the fashion industry because it has merged fashion with social consciousness. Think fashion meets "Whole Foods." They've been featured everywhere, and I'm a huge, huge fan. Here they are featured more recently in the NY Daily News.

Orla Kiely for Target Coffee Mugs

Not exactly new news, but thought I'd post a little about how deliberate I am in my purchases. Even down to my mugs. When Orla Kiely announced her collaboration with Target I just about freaked out with joy. This was back in 2009. Today I'm still just as enamored with them. I bought the orange mugs in a set of 4, and brought one to my office to be used as my personal mug. I love the pattern, it's so loud and colorful and honestly it makes me smile. I used it this morning to eat oatmeal. Rather my son's oatmeal that he dislikes the flavor of so much that he spits it out. I mean who on earth refuses delicious apple cinnamon? SMH.
