Bag Love: Cambridge Satchel

I wish these bags were more readily available in the States (Minneapolis).  I love the idea of the embossed Classic.  Also so many lovely colors.  Oh, and to make The Cambridge Satchel Company even cooler, they make really awesome trunks too.

It's Snowing!!

Come on snow, keep it up!  If it's going to be cold, we might as well have snow.

Pretty Picture: Fog from the World Trade Center

I saw this photo this morning on the Gothamist.  The surreal quality of the image and its contrast of bright vivid color and hazy grey is really stunning.  The photo is from @WTCprogress and is captioned: "For today, check out the morning fog from the 84th floor of T1 - overlooking Jersey and downtown NYC."

Meet the Breeds = Cool looking pets.

One of the main reasons I read the Gothamist each day is because they share my appreciation for cute animals.  Today's photo gallery from American Kennel Club/The International Cat Association "Meet the Breeds" event is no exception.  Here are some favorites.

Star Wars Engagement

File this one under: Humans do the darnedest things.  I originally saw this on the SFist - engagement photos by Michael James featuring a Star Wars loving couple - complete with face paint and light sabers. Good for them. Check out Micheal James' site (linked through the photos below) for the full shoot.  Nothing says "love" like a photo of your fiance mock-beheading you with a light saber.

Best Sweater Ever.

Last night I spent about an hour going through the first wave of holiday catalogs.  J. Crew has some crazy cute stuff right now, but I know it will all be deeply discounted right after Christmas making it hard for me to consider paying full price for any of it.  One item in the Madewell catalog did catch my eye in particular: The Llama Love Sweater.  I will own this sweater.
