It’s no secret that I love my Longchamp! I bought it on a trip to visit my best friend Colie Bolie in Boston and I have never looked back.
I’ve done this post I think before with my purse (definitely with my coxswain bag), but I thought I would do this one COMPLETELY uncensored. Like, I dumped my purse onto my bed, did some editorial arranging so the picture wasn’t just of a pile, and then snapped a shot.
So what’s in my Longchamp? Take a peak:
Bank of America receipt
Ray Ban aviators
Flip camcorder
Just Madras coin purse (LOVING this right now!!!)
Car & house keys
A postcard from Germany that California Funk sent me- not sure how this ended up in my purse! haha
Digital camera
Vineyards Vine clutch- I use this for added storage and organization
Lilly Pulitzer card holder
Tickets to the Rays game I went to
A spare house key (not sure about this one either!)
And a random index card
So that’s my Longchamp uncensored post.
xoxo
PS Only a little bit of time left in the GIVEAWAY!
So I recently got one of these amazing bags, and I'm wondering if you use one of those rectangular, leather thingies that sit in the bottom of your bag to help it keep its shape?
How are you so neat. If I just dumped one of my purses out it would be a mess of reciepts candy wrappers, god knows what. I think this has officially inspired me to be more organized with my purses.
Longchamp bag looks so nice, especially for school and traveling. I'm currently bidding on a large, red one on eBay since they don't sell them in Norway.
Lol, I love this post! My lilac Longchamp pretty much has most of the same things except I just lost my Ray Bans :o(
Also I was wondering, how do you clean your Longchamp? I have a big navy blue one and it's fine, but the smaller ones I have in lighter colors have little stains on them.
Somehow yesterday felt like a week, last month was last year, and last year was a decade ago… but then time is simultaneously going by so fast too. The past ten weeks have gone by in a blink! Everyone warns you it goes by fast and they’re not wrong…. The days are long but oh how I wish time would slow down a bit? Or that maybe I could bottle up a tiny bit of these precious boys at every stage so I could revisit them down the road 🤍
I have grown to LOVE baby wearing. Not only do I think it’s such a nice and cozy way to bond with baby, it’s also incredibly practical, especially when you have a toddler to keep up with too! The @wildbird aerial carrier was a treat for myself- and I’m so obsessed with it. 👶🏼 Leave a comment “wildbird” and I’ll DM you the color I have as well as my personal review of it (including some troubleshooting tips).
Some top level things I like; - it’s easy to put on! - it’s so, so comfortable (for me AND baby!) - the little flap is seamless and provides extra support while baby naps and privacy when we need/want it
This affordable rechargeable LED lamp is cute and then made even cuter with this wicker lampshade! 💡✨ No cords needed- just charge and place wherever you want. (Will be extra perfect for dining outdoors this summer!) 💫 Comment “lamp” and I’ll send you links to the LED lamp ($38 for a pair!) and the lampshade (available in a few styles- including a darling blue).
Not really in the mood to be in photos right now, but I keep telling myself I’ll want to look back on these moments and remember them. (Right?!) when I look at these photos in 10, 20, 30 years…
I hope I remember Jack “rescuing” Rory from a windy tent, not how I stood in front of my closet with tears in my eyes.
I hope I remember watching Jack roll down hills and play hop scotch and scoot down the sidewalk with his besties, not that I caught a glimpse of my reflection and didn’t recognize myself.
I hope I remember sitting outside with my friend happily watching our kids play (while watching the minutes until bedtime tick by), and not that I spent too much time zooming in and examining every new wrinkle on my face.
I hope I remember the pure joy of these early warm days with my little family whom I love so much 🤍
The weather is warming up and I’m feeling slightly more comfortable in my skin every day ☀️ Here’s what I wore last week as a mom of two. I have a two and a half year old toddler and a two month old so I need outfits I feel good in, can chase a little guy around in, AND that I can breastfeed easily while wearing. 🔗 Leave a comment with “OUTFITS” to get links to every outfit I wore!
This room is so very special 🤍 The little cars sprinkled everywhere (watch your step!). A tiny sock, never two, peeled off and tucked somewhere hidden away. Piles of books that grow almost as quickly as the little boy who sleeps here. Outgrown pants and shoes to grow into mingling in the closet. Often messy, and a little cluttered, but a little boy lives here. 🚘☀️🐶📚🧸
(Rory is still in our room, but eventually the boys will share. I can picture their little twin beds already!)
About ten days ago, I noticed that today’s forecast was looking WARM. I told Mike, “We’re walking into town and sitting outside and I’m getting a beer. Put it on your calendar.” It ended up being warmer than forecasted (almost eighty degrees!) and let me tell you, it delivered. Today felt like the beginning of The Season™: dinners al fresco, beers/fries/ice creams, and late bedtimes. Indulging in it all because the kids are only getting older and we’re the grownups (somehow) and we get to make the rules ✌🏻

@pennylinndesigns and I hosted a “learn to needlepoint” class this past weekend and it was everything ✨ Needlepoint has been such a bright spot in my life over the past five years- and it’s gotten me through some difficult times. Because it’s helped me so much, sharing this hobby with others has turned into a mini life mission of mine. To sit in a room (my beautiful office space designed by @clare.sull!) with pro stitchers and needlepoint newbies alike was one of my dreams come true. I loved seeing women chatting, meeting, and bonding over this beautiful craft 🪡 Honestly, the needlepoint world is (sadly) filled with a lot of gatekeeping and competitiveness; this weekend proved that it doesn’t have to- and shouldn’t- be this way! It’s for EVERYONE. Whether you’ve never picked up a canvas in your life or you’re working on heirloom stockings for your family, there’s room for everyone at this table.
📍 Leave a comment saying “needlepoint” and I’ll send you my go-to resources for getting started with needlepoint!

Oh gosh! I really adore longchamp :D. I have 10 of this bags. They are so great!
Hello! I've been following your blog for a while now, and I just wanted to stop by to say hey : )
I love my Flip too! Do you know how to take the batteries out? For the life of me, I don't remember how to do this.
ps~ I would blur your address if I were you. Don't want any creepers out there knowing where you live.
How are you so neat. If I just dumped one of my purses out it would be a mess of reciepts candy wrappers, god knows what. I think this has officially inspired me to be more organized with my purses.
