Wishlist: Bag Envy




As the summer solstice has officially commenced, it's time to pull out your summer wardrobe. School's out so I've retired my big tote for the semester in favor of a small brown cross body bag.

The texture is faux-leather and super relaxed and slouchy - perfect for running around town on easy errands. But for summer parties and events I'd like something a bit more sophisticated. Specifically, something black, sleek and with a hint of gold. Here are some of the bags on my wishlist! Which one is your favorite?

19 // A Day in New York City






Little moments from the day I spent in New York City. 

It was my nineteenth birthday (June 9) so I did a little birthday shopping in SoHo with my dad and my sisters. We wanted an authentic New York City experience so we took the train, even though we had a car. 
(I now know that I prefer to take a car.)

My sister also surprised me with a watercolor paint set! I read a great art supply recommendation post about this paint set on Katie Rodgers blog, Paper Fashion. 

Walking around in NYC and taking pictures (with my dad's camera I might add) was a weird, cool experience. It felt good to be doing something creative yet different from my usual creative outlet. The experience just felt right.

New York City has endless amounts of inspiration for any budding photographer/illustrator/writer/artist.
I'm itching to go back again and storm the city with my photography prowess - next time hopefully with my own camera!
