Drooling and getting crafty.

Okay so we all know that I'm only a pretend girl. As much as I enjoy smearing makeup all over my face and curling my hair into fantastical shapes, the notion of truly caring what goes on my body is above me. I couldn't spot a Coach bag from someone training athletes (teehee) and never have I ever thought about actually investing in anything of real physical value. Until my eyes met this beautiful, beautiful Kate Spade bag. Meet the Ooh la la Tobyn:

Am I alone in this? Isn't it the cutest thing ever? <3

Obviously this little lady doesn't have $350 to spend on a silly bag (even if it makes me squeal). So I pinned it to 'unorganized desires' and left it to pile up in things that someday my disposable income would grant me. Untilllllll, one lazy afternoon (okay, yesterday) I found myself rummaging about the Urban Outfitters online sale section and I found something that eerily resembled my long lost love-the Cooperative Heartbreaker Crossbody Bag. And it just so happened to be on sale for $19.99. I think I can swing that. Thankfully, I saw that it was in stock in my local UO so I avoided spending the shipping fee (and got it instantly) and now this little cutie is mine oh mine.

It might not look exactly the same and it might break in a year's time, but it gets the point across and it gives the same feminine look to any night out (or day in- if you walk around your apartment with a purse on? Why not?). 

BASICALLY WHAT I'M SAYING, LADIES, IS GO BUY YOURSELF A LITTLE AFTER-VALENTINES DAY HEART-SHAPED SELF-PRESENT. Because you're cute and you deserve something cute and also it is dumb to spend $350 on a bag when you can spend a fraction of that and then go buy boxes and boxes of colorful cupcakes or sprinkle-topped doughnuts or something. Is that enough evidence to bag up this point? Thought so.

I hope everyone had a happy and love-filled day yesterday, and why stop there? Give someone a smooch today and don't be weird about it.
