:: alternatives to the lululemon bag ::

I lust after all that overpriced Lululemon gear just like the next girl, but I realized when I spilled hot sauce all in their little tote that was doubling as a lunch container, that I needed to step it up a bit. First, these ones below are soooooo darling. And investing in a nice little lunch bag will encourage me to bring my lunch to work more. And that's a financial and a caloric win-win.

Anyone else carrying their lunch in anything cute?

:: scarves and scarves ::

I can't be the only one who sweats on their way to work only to enter a *very* air conditioned office. Since my summer attire of dresses and skirts doesn't mesh well with a layered fashion strategy, enter the scarf. It might be my favorite accessory of all time. And since I'm not a fan of patterns on my major items of clothing, scarves give me a chance to go a little bolder with print. All while keeping cozy at my desk.
