Hybrid Heaven

For our third wedding anniversary, my husband surprised me with a Ford Escape Hybrid:) I'm really not much of a car person. I'm not a good driver. I would have been happy with my old car if it were safer. Unfortunately, it was a death trap. So Jeff decided that I needed a better, safer car preferably with better gas mileage. I am an SUV girl, so a little car that does well on miles was not an option. So the Escape Hybrid it is. This car gets more than double the MPG of my old SUV. Jeff did such a great job finding the perfect car for me. It has everything I want. And, it feels good to know that I'm being a little bit green. I really love this car. I love it more every time I get into it. Thanks so much my love:)

ps. I'm adding a pic of my new favorite bag, the Longchamp riding shotgun with me.

Work Bag

Okay so I recently started a new job where I work outdoors. So I wanted to get a lightweight, synthetic tote bag that could fit a lot of stuff. Leather really isn't an option because it weighs too much and isn't weather proof.

So I bought a Dooney and Bourke bag, the Gwenny large tote. It is nylon, has two main compartments, and has a ton of pockets. Pockets, pockets, pockets. The bag was so functional for work. But... it just wasn't that cute:( It is a great alternative to the Longchamp though. It is nylon, well made, lightweight, and it has similar leather trims. Despite it's functionality, I returned it.

Dooney and Bourke Gwenny Tote- It's a return



So I ended up with my original idea, a black Longchamp Pliage. Unfortunately it has only one small pocket. But IMO it is more attractive than the Dooney. And I much prefer how it sits against my body when I'm wearing it. I don't let junk float around my bags, so I hope it isn't that hard to keep organized. I keep pens and my cell phone in the pocket. Yes, it would be nice to have other pockets for keys, sunglasses, and my wallet. But I love it:) This will also be used as a knitting bag when I'm over using it for work. I never really got why people love their Longchamps so much until now!
