My Purse-onal Favorites

I'm on this really big handbag kick right now. Like, it's all I can think about. I want a new one (or three) for my birthday and Christmas. I just can't decide. I'm also on this really big Dooney and Burke thing. They were one of my first favorite designers back in middle school when the multi-color initial designs came out--so fun! I still love all their products and they've come out with some pretties as of late that I must have. Maybe the Bag Fairy will come visit sooner than later...

 Dooney and Burke Chelsea Shopper in Black $298

I seriously feel like I have to have this one. Like, yesterday. I fall in love with anything black and brown 

because it really goes with everything! And now with the puppy baby, I need 

a good tote. 

Dooney and Burke Mini Florentine in Pink, on sale for $238

Love this bag, but I think it would be so hard to commit to a brightly colored bag.

While I do wear pink most days, I feel like this would clash on the coral days too much. 

Plus I don't like to change out my purse that often.

Dooney and Burke Snake Embossed Lexington Tote for $238

Gianni Bini Tessa Satchel for $109

I think this bag is absolutely darling, and it comes in pink, too! 

Puppy Photo Shoot

One of my sweet friends (who I now get to see all the time as she will be a Senior at the school I am working at!) took some 4 month old pictures of Layla and me the the other day. She did such a good job, and I can't wait to get the prints. I think I'm a little obsessed with my cutie patootie dog.

Layla Claire has a big couple of weeks coming up: her first trip to Savannah, Ga., to see her daddy (we haven't seen my sweet fiance in six weeks!), a visit from her Grandpa next weekend, and our biggest trip so far to Edenton, N.C., to see my family over Labor Day weekend. Such excitement for such a tiny pup--she is officially 3.2 pounds so far!

Pupstar Update--1 month

One month ago today, I went and picked up my sweet Layla Claire. I can't believe I'm a puppy mother to such a crazy little nugget of energy! She loves her ball, her Boo, and gnawing on anything that is wooden, or my fingers. She's just over three pounds now, and only expected to be about six pounds after she finishes growing. She likes to sleep right next to me, and basically be right near me at all times, except when I can bring her to work and she can run the long school halls (she's a little diva that loves her air conditioning!).

Love you, Miss La!
