Mulberry Small Polly Push Lock

This bag has been on my wishlist ever since I saw this Mulberry Fall 2011 ad on Stylecaster.  I thought the colors were neutral without being boring and the style is so simple.

Then today I saw it being worn by Kate Middleton and thought, hmmm, that does look quite nice!  I realized, though,that she is much taller than I am and while the bag looks just right for her frame, it might overwhelm me.

Thanks to The BagHag, who pointed out that a smaller size is also available on Net-A-Porter.  I looked up the dimensions on the small version, and at 8" x 10", it looks like the small version is just right for me.   I also love how the textured leather makes the bag more rugged.

The Mulberry Small Polly Push Lock looks equally good styled with '70's classics as shown by Net-A-Porter, as well as with a more contemporary look as seen on the Mulberry website.

Lusting after Leopard

J. Crew Fall 2011 Lookbook

Jeffrey Campbell Mention Flats

Sam Edelman Alvin Flats

Steve Madden Madee Flats

Lately, I've been lusting for leopard.  I can't wear it on my body, nor can I carry it in my bags (scares me!), but somehow, leopard spots on a flat shoe seem so classic.  All of the above look pretty similar, so I'm having a difficult time deciding, plus the J. Crew ones are not yet available. How do I decide?

Must Resist!

Ack!  Must resist!  This Meredith Wendell large leather-trimmed raffia duffel is so cute it's screaming at me to buy it!  Someone stop me!

Summer Scarves

Summer is made for oversized gauzy scarves, and these are some of the ones I really really want. (Wait, did a Spice Girl song just play in your head?  No?  Just me, then.)

Dwell Studio Scarves

These would add such a pop of color to my mostly plain colored outfits for summer.  Also, I love how the bigger sized ones can be used as a blanket or even rolled up as a pillow when you're on the train.
