Capucines PM ● Lockit PM Happy Monday! I've blogged about my wishlist of bags before but today I thought I'd put two bags from that list in a little "This or That" showdown or battle or comparison, whichever you'd like to call it. My bags wishlist blog post was created almost a year ago and while I might end up narrowing that list by removing some bags or expanding that list by adding some bags, as of right now, those bags are still on my radar.  As I explained briefly in that post, I prefer my bags to be ones that are classic or timeless... " ones that I can see myself using for a long time" as I put it. I currently have four bags: a large black tote from Zara, a small nude crossbody from Zara, a small black crossbody from Rebecca Minkoff , and a medium black satchel from Marc by Marc Jacobs . I purchased all of these bags on sale; the small nude crossbody bag was beyond affordable at $8... it'd have been silly of me to not purchase it, especially...

Smoky Eggplant Dip Happy happy Sunday. :) Suns out, guns out. Sort of. I spend nearly most of my time in the library nowadays (Mugar's ac temps are set really low for some reason, grr... brr... ), but I do go out for a run or some kind of workout to keep me up and moving. It's always lovely to enjoy the sunshine and get the endorphins going - I feel completely refreshed each time. What else has been new? Not much, but one thing is that all of my roomies have moved out of my summer apartment. So essentially it's just me in Apt1 and Mugar. Some may say it's boring, but I'm not complaining, haha. Gotta do what ya gotta do, amiright. Also, I think I fall into the category of being an extroverted introvert (although I'm an INTJ on the Myers-Briggs indicator), where I absolutely love my alone time, but I also love to spend time with friends and socialize and what not. It's balanced out, and I seriously believe it's the best of both worlds. Anyhoo, maybe I...

Pretty peonies... love, love, love. :) One of my biggest fears in life, which has only been developed since the start of this summer, is Trader Joe's discontinuing their frozen mango chunks. I kid you not, it's up there with Ben&Jerry's running out of business. I picked up and dropped off a television to my new apartment yesterday and since I knew that TJ's was nearby, I strolled right on over in hopes of purchasing some bags of frozen mango chunks. Note that I said "some" - there is absolutely zero point of going to TJ's to only buy *one* bag of frozen mango chunks. Come on, let's be real. Ain't nobody got time for that. Some or none, that's my motto when it comes to TJ's frozen mango chunks. (FYI, to put this into perspective: according to several serious studies conducted by [name of serious institution that conducts several serious studies about mangos], the average human is more likely than not to not buy TJ's frozen mango chun...
