Smelly bag, smelly bag, what are they feeding you?

Hello all, long time no blog. To sum up my trip - no Abbotts, because the Boyfriend was being a bastard, as usual. Hmph. I did have lobster, but it wasn't quite the same as the whole Abbott's experience.

So here is a strange thing that happened to me recently, wondering if any of you have had similar bizarre experiences. I bought two metallic doctor bags from Intuition a couple of months ago, and only started using them recently. I had my silver one when I was caught in the rain and the bag got wet - and when I went into have coffee with a friend and get out of the rain, I realized my bag stank like dead, rotting fish. I'm really not exagerrating here. I turned to her and said "my bag smells like a pound of fish died in it and then got microwaved" to which she replied "you're so silly, let me smell it" and promptly gagged. When I got home, I smelled my gold one, and there was definitely hints of Eau de Spoiled Salmon. I've been airing both bags out on my terrace, and finally decided to febreze the inside of the silver one - I just hope that now it doesn't become a combo of rotting fish and febreze, then I would probably have to burn it.

On another bag note, I would like to voice my frustration to the world. I stood on line last Thursday to get the Anya Hindmarch "I'm not a plastic bag". I stood on line for over an hour, got RIGHT in front of the store, and THEY SOLD OUT. ARRRRRRRGGGHHH!!!! Okay I feel better now.

Onto some cute finds I'm really hoping will not sell out:

Toms Classic Slip-on Shoes from Intuition ($38) I love the red plaid!!

Now, some finds from a recently-discovered website, Boston Proper:

I'm in LOVE with this Navy Crest Blazer on sale for $109 - I was reading a Vogue/Elle/Something the other day, and sure enough I saw a Nautical Crested Jacket by Nicholas Ghesquiere that looks strikingly similar, but costs about 3 month's worth of rent:


French Terry Tunic on sale for $79:

Following the tunic craze this summer, the Coral Baubles Tunic on sale for $129:

Chiffon Poppy Print dress ($159) .. Poppy prints a la Oscar de la Renta...

And last but not least, Ruffle-placket stripe shirt on sale for $29!!!!!!! LOVE this one!
And from Pink Mascara - Tart Marianne Strapless Dress ($169)
And now, signing off with a fun find from Fred Flare -

Sleepy Dog Wrist Cushion ($16) You know everybody at work will be soooo jealous...

Almost officially summer!

I'm a bad, bad blogger. I know. I wish I had enough time to keep on top of this! I'm leaving on Friday for a week long vacation (hallelujah) and perhaps will have some time to sit back with a laptop in front of a pool with a drink (ahhhh..) and catch up some more! But I've got to tell you - I am most looking forward to the one trip that really symbolizes the start of summer for me. And that, my friends, is the trip to Abbotts Lobster in Noank, CT. If you are ever in that neighborhood, it is WELL worth the trip! Usually I get there via car, but this time I'm actually going by boat! So exciting! This little place is tucked down the end of a little road, and they have the best lobsters, clams, crabcakes, etc. It's not really a restaurant, more of a pick up your lobsters at a counter and sit down with plastic cutlery. But you can't beat the quality and the view.. It's BYOB but there's a cute little package store just up the road... I can't wait - that really signals the beginning of summer for me..


Since I'm going to be going in the evening, and by boat (windy, ouch) I think I will have to dress relatively warm. So this gives me the perfect time to showcase one of my new purchases that I grabbed up at Bloomies a couple of months ago, the Aqua Deep V-Neck :
(it looks alot better when worn with a nice pair of jeans as opposed to a bathing suit - don't know why they did that, weird) I also got it in white, but on the website it shows the stripe as red and green - it's actually red white and blue.

I can't wait to break out some of my summer stock of clothes this coming week. And of course, there's always excuses to buy more. Here are some things I've had my eye on:

Vineyard Vines Patchwork Skirt ($125)
I saw this on a girl on Madison Ave the other day and I thought the skirt was just too cute.. it's a neat twist on madras patchwork which is almost in overabundance this season...

From Intuition, I don't know how these are going to look on me, but I think they're great (and would probably come in handy on a boat!!) And I LOVE the colors!

Echo Striped Knit Headbands ($20 each)
A couple more finds from Intuition:

Steven Alan Pocket Shirt Dresses ($175) So versatile, easy. You can dress them up or down - love them!!
And this great White and Denim Travel Bag ($75) This could also make a great beach bag...
In keeping with the white/blue, I found this great caftan dress on Pink Mascara:

Rachel Pally Print Short Caftan ($255)
It looks so cute and comfortable.. and would be great with a tan..

Also from Rachel Pally, this happy yellow Mini Crochet Dress ($229):
Yellow is the color this season - I'm not one of the lucky ones, it's really hard to find a yellow that looks good on me. But I love this dress...

And last but not least, this Paul Frank Psychic Kitty tshirt from Fred Flare just makes me laugh:
It actually kinda reminds me of my 2nd grade teacher. Hmmm..
