I want this tote bag! It’s classy enough to withstand all the seasons, the office and a dinner date. It’s functional too — it can accommodate most laptops and has tons of pockets for cables, files, magazines, cell phones, iPods, Blackberrys, make-up and whatever else you can think of!
It’s made of eco-friendly linen and trimmed […]

I’m […]

The earrings are handmade out of cherry and maple hardwood. They are $20.00 and you can get them through Etsy. There is a matching pendant, but I hate when things are too matchy-matchy.
