Shop in Style: marimekko DIY

Alas, I won't be in town for this, but I'm internally jumping at the chance to play with the marimekko fabrics and create a yummy mummy bag. Please go play for me, then send in pics of your work! We'll have a show and tell.

Style Wish: A Targeted Socialite

In the midst of all The Bean Preparations, we hit Target last week. They're such smart marketers. Though we were there on a very focused mission (changing tables - you'll never believe how difficult a decision they can be!), with limited time, we walked in the door, and I was distracted by this adorable tote (we had to pass the bags to get to the baby gear). Even better was the display tagline: 60s Summer Socialite.

I have visions of stolling down the Atlantic City boardwalk in a headscarf and Pucci, with Etienne Aigner thong sandals*...tote over my shoulder.

And at less than 25 smackeroos, I think this "future yummy mummy" can justify it amidst the diaper bags.

***In my short online search, I couldn't find the old school sandals I remember. The "equestrian" ones (at least that's how I remember them) I always used to borrow from my mom. And then I finally got my own pair, and I felt oh, so grown up.
