Strathberry MC Mini Outfit



Crop Top Turtleneck | Asos
Color Block Shift Dress  | Ann Taylor
Red MC Mini | Strathberry
Cat Eye Sunglasses | Kate Spade

     This Strathberry bag is my new obsession. Strathberry leather bags are gorgeously handcrafted. Each bag is handmade in small batches by an artisan in Spain. I love the bar closure. It reminds me of M2Malletier's bags but without the $1K+ price tag (Strathberry ranges from $200-$580).

     I first read about them on Honestly WTF back in June when they launched their Kickstarter. I saw the bar closure and the unique bag design and knew I had to have it. I pledged for a MC Mini in Ruby Red, and waited. Patiently, I might add for 4 months!!! When it finally did arrive, I smiled from ear to ear. These bags were even more beautiful in person!

     I decided a black and white outfit with pops of red to best display the bag. While walking around town, I looked down at my striped sleeves, with red from my bag and dress. I couldn't shake the image of the legs of the Wicked Witch of the East sticking out from under a house in Wizard of Oz. I guess you can find fashion inspiration anywhere!

Spotlight Series: Our Super Adventure

So I don't tell many people this, but I love tumblr and imgur. It's my go-to for when I want to read something  cute/funny. Sounds so unhealthy, but I only do this at work. But not often at work. Ok, I'm digressing...

Today's spotlight is a really cute comic drawn by Sarah Graley across the pond in the UK. She draws about her life with her boyfriend Stef, and their four cats: Toby, Pesto, Wilson, and Pixel. I read these comics and think, 'Oh my gosh, manfriend and I are exactly the same!' It's so much fun to read them. They are a mix of quirky, cute, and sometimes naughty like this comic.
Sarah's caption: "i dunno going to the toilet (especially at night) seems to attract all my cats?? like the bat signal. but for the loo and for cats. the butt signal"

Recently she started a Kickstarter campaign for readers to enjoy her amazing work in print. And I am so glad she did, because otherwise, I would have never found her awesome comics! For Kickstarter supporters, there are special stretch goals for everyone like STICKERS (YAAAS! You read my mind, Sarah!) or physical copies of her other comic, 'Pizza Witch.'

To give you guys a better idea of what her comic is like I've picked some of my favorites of Our Super Adventure to share with you guys! And if you like her stuff, please please PLEASE support her. Show her how much you love her stuff, because awesome comic strips like these take a lot of time and work that we don't see behind the scenes!
we both do this after we’ve been annoying
most of our apologies are in the form of either of us slithering across the room telling you i am great i am sorry
i think this is both the cutest and meanest i’ve drawn Stef
you can’t hush these chops o3o


Are you a die-hard fan for Our Super Adventure like me yet?!?
