Kate Spade at ShopStyle
Isn’t this Kate Spade hedgehog coin purse just amazing? It makes me smile because I love fun, quirky little bags. Pouches, clutches, wallets, mini-bags–whatever you call them–I collect them all! They’re like my wallets’ free-spirited friends. These are some of those “friends” in my purse right now: Mini Bags in My Purse And this is their home in my (messy) drawer at home–what a happy family: My drawer of wallets, mini bags, and clutches If you’re looking to expand your collection of quirky coin purses, please shop my recommendations (all under $100):

Hello Kitty…for dinner?

Hello Kitty Farm Animals pasta Spotted this box of Hello Kitty farm animals pasta at my local T.J. Maxx. And it’s organic. Never would have paired organic food with a Sanrio character. I am nonplussed.

In the Red: Claire Dunphy’s Blouse + Chinese New Year

Happy Chinese New Year! In honor of the celebration and the color red, which symbolizes good luck and happiness, I present another outfit from the Claire Dunphy’s Modern Family wardrobe. In the “Express Christmas” episode (season 3 episode 10), Claire is wearing a red blouse amidst the usual Pritchett family chaos.
