w e l l w o r t h t h e w a i t

I've been bad about not updating y'all on my life but life has been a whirlwind. It feels like bf and I have been everywhere...we kind of have. We were on the east coast, I got my wisdom teeth out, hopped on a plane back to LA, drove to SD Comic Con 2013, came back to LA and went right back to work. I love working so no complaints there. I've discovered that we've finally found home in LA and it feels really great. For the first time since moving out here I'm really proud to say where I live and work. The rest of this year is going to be an amazing one. I feel it in my bones. Lot of exciting projects coming along!

In recent fashion news I got myself an early birthday present mid-July...

VOILA! Isn't she a beauty!? She's covered in metal studs. She's a dream come true. She came in the dust bag and basically has never been touched. There's a whole story behind this bag. 

This bag is called "Edie" and it's from Phillip Lim's collection a few years old. 


I first saw it online with Rachel Bilson sporting it around town, then at Wasteland (hesitated to buy it), and have been coveting this purse for the last three years. For the last couple of years I've been kicking myself for not picking it up at Wasteland and then I turned to Ebay. I'm a firm believer to never shop for things at full price especially in the world we live in today. People recycle their things at a much higher rate and we have amazing outlets to resell goods to others. 

Best thing I've discovered this year was the Ebay "saved searches" option on my iphone app. You can save detailed searches for specific things you want and Ebay notifies you when new items have been listed under your "saved searches." So dangerous. So delicious.

This bag is pretty rare now but with the help of Ebay and some serious patience I got to feel like it was Xmas morning in the middle of summer :).
