What I’m Loving for Fall.

There are so many items that I want for fall.  My Fall Forecast will tell you to stock up on brightly colored bottoms, leopard anything, gold flats, and I (not a surprise coming from me) chunky gold jewelry. Dark nails are not a thing of the past, and everything is more fun with a little glitter.
 I need to keep reminding myself that I am on a budget and I have two kids who will need to go to college someday… not to mention the two over-the-top weddings that they will have.  I must admit, I have bought a few items on this list (ahem…. #’s 1, 4 and 6, to be exact.) The only two that are out of my price range are of course the two I love the most!  Hopefully some of you can throw caution to the wind and I can live vicariously through you.

Fleabags.

Strange name, I know, but I spotted this brown suede little beauty in last month’s InStyle and haven’t stopped thinking about it since.  Me likey.  It makes me think of Fall.  I imagine myself rocking this baby with a cream cable knit turtleneck and some weathered jeans.
Fleabags was started by two women who were in the design industry and were frustrated with the environmental hazard and waste that plastic bags created.  They wanted a dapper, large and versatile bag to carry all of their goods.   While this is much more expensive than your average Envirosax bag, I dig it and would love to have one for a gym, overnight or laptop bag.  

Just look at these babies….

The Zhush.

Sue De Chiara of The Zhush is certainly no stranger to style.  Just check out these pics of her beautiful home.

This lawyer turned blogger has decided to share her sense of style with all of us, through her online store.  If you haven’t checked it out, you must.  Not that you would need any more incentive to shop at The Zhush, but Sue is offering all Kiki’s List Followers 10% off with the code kiki10.  This special offer is good through July 6. Here are some of my favorite items:
Happy Shopping!

Double Duty.

Last week was a tad bit stressful.  By now you all know that I carry this bag in the Summer.  Each night, as I rush out of my office to pick up the girls, I stash my laptop in my bag.  Well, it was one of those nights… Mike was out of town, we got home late and in between trying to help E with her homework and cooking dinner it wasn’t until I heard a crash that I realized Lou had climbed up on the counter to get a banana.  As I turned in fear, I saw it… My MacBook Pro sitting on the floor.  Luckily it was still in tact, but I was sitting on pins and needles as I fired her up.  The good news is that she worked.. the bad news is that it sounded like a helicopter was taking off in our kitchen.

So, after an overnight stay at the Apple Store, she’s as good as new.  (Umm, yes, a new hard drive and optical drive were needed.)  I laughed as my resident Genius told me that I should get a case…  Good to know, there are a bevy of stylish options to choose from.  Gone are the days of the black canvas bags for laptops… These babies are working double duty when it comes to protecting your electronics and keeping you in style.
