new laptop sleeve/file folder = merry christmas to me

so yesterday i was out christmas shopping and came across a really nice looking leather portfolio/computer sleeve at the limited. and so i decided to get a little christmas present for myself. let me tell you, this little guy is GREAT. i picked up the tan version on sale for $14. 70 from $24.50. it's really soft and chic and is sleek enough to be used as a file folder for client meetings or taking work home. it will make me look like the star account manager that i truly am...once i'm back in an office.

*sigh*

christmas miracles do happen, right?

side note: the photo above from the limited website sucks. again, what is with these stores and their terrible product photography?! it looks like it's from the elementary school catalog of things you'd sell door-to-door to raise money for the museum field trip. ok, done. here are some photos i took with my point-and-shoot.

scarves running in circles

back in the middle of the summer i purchased my first circle scarf (also known as a snood, eternity scarf and cowl scarf) on the advice of my friend jenni. now, i can't get enough. you can wear them in so many ways - as a hood, as a cowl, as a tight scarf, or over your shoulders. there are many to choose from and here are my budget-friendly faves.
