I’m just gaga over my new Lana Midi Bucket Bag from Strathberry!

Review of the Strathberry Lana Midi Bucket Bag

This bag was a gift from Strathberry. All opinions are totally my own.

Why I LOVE Strathberry

Strathberry is a luxury leather goods brand, created by a husband and wife team and based in Scotland. The handbags are works of art, with minimalist modern design. Each bag is carefully constructed by hand and takes about 20 hours to make. The work happens in Spain with dedicated craftsmen and only the finest Spanish leather. The timeless design, the high-quality leather, and the superb attention to detail make a Strathberry bag a heritage piece that that you’ll have forever.

Why I LOVE The Lana Midi Bucket Tote

The Lana Midi Tote is perfect size for carrying all of my everyday necessities.  The interior space is roomy, with a soft microfibre lining,  zipped side pocket, and a magnetic fastening at the top. The look of the bag is just yummy, with an unusual mix of smooth and pebbled calf leather to add such rich texture.  The stitching on a Strathberry bag is always impeccable. The strap can be adjusted to fit as a shoulder bag or a crossbody bag.  I love the colorblock choice here, tan and vanilla for neutrals, and a pop of unexpected mustard yellow! This gorgeous tote is also available in other colors, like navy, tan, tan with green, and black and vanilla.

Pleated Pants Trend

September 5, 2022

Do you ever attempt to recreate outfits you’ve seen on social media? I love to do this and I even love the posts where bloggers show you their outfit inspiration.  I would do that, but I’m always worried about copyright infringement.

This outfit is my attempt to recreate a few looks that I’ve been seeing on Instagram and Tik Tok recently. I was pretty happy with the way that it came out, but it’s not perfect.

Fall Transition Kimono

August 30, 2022

I just adore a kimono wrap! I wore my summery kimono so many times during this summer that I decided I needed to invest in a kimono for a summer to fall transition. I fell in love with this new arrival at Nordstrom!

Visit to Restoration Hardware SF

August 16, 2022

I’ve been hearing so much about the new Restoration Hardware San Francisco – The Gallery at the Historic Bethlehem Steel Building, so this weekend my husband and I decided to pay a visit.

The first time I ever heard of Restoration Hardware a friend wanted to take me and I was so grumpy because I hate hardware stores. Ha!  But of course it’s much more than a hardware store and it was so fun to explore.

When my husband and I married, we treated ourselves to a RH bedroom set that I still totally adore. So I’m a bit of a fan.

 

And of course most importantly, because this is a style blog, this is what I wore!!

Boho Vibe with High-Waist Wide-Leg Jeans

August 11, 2022

This week I’m immersed in my back-to-school teacher life, but last week I was enjoying my last week of freedom with some quality girl time with Cathy of Bay Area Fashionista and this is what I wore.

High-waisted wide-leg jeans are so in right now that I wanted to try styling mine in a new way.  These are The Baggy Jean from Everlane, but I decided to crop them to an ankle length myself, which of course is really easy these days with the raw edge trend.

August 1, 2022

It’s that time of year.  Yes, it’s still summer, but many of us are thinking ahead to fall wardrobes!  This is especially true for teachers who are heading back to school soon.  Yes, we *could* wear summery things that first month, but … then … does it even feel like back to school?  Here’s an outfit that I’ll be putting in rotation very soon!
