Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! Mitch and I spent Friday night together in Chicago, and then drove up to Oconomowoc, Wisconsin (where my brother- and sister-in-law live) on Saturday morning to spend the rest of the weekend there. I’ll always be a city girl, but I adore our little trips to the country. Especially when they entail seeing family.
This past weekend was the best. Noodle had the time of her life running around the backyard with my adorable niece and nephew, and Mitch and I loved being able to catch up with John and Sarah, and watch the kids so their parents could go out to dinner for John’s birthday. :) We played games, hung out on the back deck, took long walks around the new neighborhood (they just moved!), made cupcakes that looked like lambs (haha–ours didn’t look quite so perfect, but hey–we tried!), and went out to eat in downtown Oconomowoc. Couldn’t have asked for a better couple of days.
But back to fashion. ;) Today I’m toting my new favorite bag: the West 57th Street Carryall by Henri Bendel. I’m obsessed with it! I love its structured shape, its gold hardware, and how it’s made of Saffiano leather–making it both durable and easy to clean. It has a ton of interior pockets to help me stay organized as well as two zippered compartments that are perfect for carrying papers, folders and notebooks. It also has a removable crossbody strap for days when I need to be hands-free… which is pretty much all the time, now that Noodle’s on the scene! While the West 57th Street Carryall is my favorite, be sure to check out the rest of Henri Bendel’s fall handbag collection. Gorgeous, right?!

Henri Bendel has some of the best bags! I bought a business card holder there over the summer and I love it. Also, Noodle is so cute! Sounds like a fabulous weekend :)

Thanks, Hunter! Yes–I’m obsessed with them! The quality is amazing, and the price point is a bit better than Tory Burch. Love them!
That skirt is gorgeous!! Such a classic leather staple.

Thanks so much, Cynthia! She’s getting so BIG! (Where does the time go?!)
Who knows? Pups grow up too fast! We adopted our pup at 5 weeks old, and by the time he was 4 months old he was already 40 lbs! He was growing like a weed. But luckily he’s done growing, now he just has some maturing to do… lol
Aww, what fun weekend snaps – Noodle does look pretty content!
Gorgeous new bag… great structure, gold hardware, I’m sold!
Chic on the Cheap

Hi Heather! Which tote are you referring to? :)
Hi Kelly, Thanks for the quick response! The white tote with the navy monogram above (just above the hydrangea pic). Thanks! :)

Obsessed with that leather skirt Kelly, I’ve been investing in a lot of leather this fall. Glad you had a fun weekend, sometimes its nice to spend time with family and just play games and hang out.
