Carry On Only!

As much as I like Chanel, my heart belongs to Hermès since we share an initial. Although these Crocodile suitcases that were posted on Luxist don't have an H on them, they still have me seriously swooning! They were made in the 1930's for Karen Blixen who wrote Out of Africa under the name Isak Dinesen. Hermès unearthed them in their archives and they think that since they were never used they must never have been sent to her in Kenya. The sterling silver and tortoiseshell pieces are engraved with a crown and the initials DBF which stands for Dineson Blixen-Finecke, a combination of her maiden and married names. If you also happen to have the same initials, word has it that they can be yours for the right price. I'd actually be willing to change my initials to own such beautiful specimens of craftsmanship! They certainly put most people's beat up roller bags to shame. But, as we all know, travel is definitely not what it used to be. Le sigh.

Happy (Last Minute) Weekend!

What a week it's been! Holidays and snow days had me a bit busy, as did some guest appearances on a few fabulous blogs that are all up today...

via once wed

*1... Check out Courtney's interview at Under A Paper Moon, where you can view some 'vintage' holiday photos of me, as well as a peek into my Christmas tree this year! She featured some fabulous bloggers all week answering the same questions, so be sure to catch up on them as well!

*2... Mary Jo at Trust Your Style (newly added to the blogroll here!) graciously asked me to participate in her Eye On Style feature, and I was completely honored to be featured on her fabulous blog. She's got great taste and fabulous finds, so pop over and say hello.

*3... Finally, another little Christmas interview with Amanda at Swish & Swanky where she too has been interviewing bloggers all week on every aspect of their holiday habits from shopping to decor. Her blog is quite adorable and worth a peek!


As for the weekend... I will be working on a few last minute additions to the Gift Guide while lounging around in my (faux) furs...


Wrapping last minute presents in my favorite room in the house. *sigh*. Seriously Santa. Could you just package it all up and leave it under the tree?

Stay warm and bundle up boys and girls! It's gonna be a cold one...
