Who has two thumbs, two Covid shots, a cool new denim dress, and went to a movie theater for the first time in many many months? THIS GIRL. And maybe someone else, I don’t really know. BUT ME.

We have frequented the local art house cinema (and the bar connected to it) for many years because it’s almost never crowded, we’re regularly the youngest people there by two decades, and the popcorn is so good it’s worth the heartburn. I’m so glad it survived the pandemic, and it was great to be back!

In case you’re wondering, we saw Cruella. If you’re in to fashion (which, if you’re here, I assume you have at least a passing interest), I recommend it if only for the costumes. In case you’re worried about the whole puppy thing, just trust me…don’t worry.

Bag Goals

When: January 15, 2021 // Weather: cold // Real life: working from home then a Target run

I’d bet that lots of girls like me who grew up obsessed with all things fashion share some things in common: we had only 1 or 2 Barbies but many many outfits for her; we watched Clueless 1000 times (or another stylish movie depending on our age); and as we got older we started lusting after a particular designer’s handbags.

For me, that designer was Balenciaga. I probably saw one in a copy of Vogue in college or something, but to me they seemed kind of punk rock and classic at the same time (in other words, perfect). I even bought a fake one on Canal Street many years ago (which as a trademark attorney I’m now ashamed to admit!).

Anyway, a couple months ago I thought to myself “I can finally afford my ‘dream bag’ so what am I waiting for?!” I decided I had earned a reward for surviving 2020, as we all do. So in keeping with my sustainability goals, I found the perfect gently used Balenciaga bag on The RealReal and made her mine. So far she’s only been to Target and FedEx (thanks, pandemic) but I’m optimistic she’ll see more of the world one day soon.
