What I Bought Today :: LA Tote

I love walking the streets of LA and just stumbling upon something so rad that you know your pocketbook is about to get served.  Today I found the cutest tote bag by Maptote and I have to admit: I am a sucker for a good bag.  And not just handbags, I mean, all bags: shopping bags. Fanny packs. Seasonal ziploc bags with the cute fun designs.

After checking out Maptote on online, I discovered they make great totes for many of my favorite cities.  (The Austin bag is calling my name!)

I choose my purchases with fastidious care.  Everything I own is very personal to me and I can remember why and where I bought every item.  Especially items for my home.  I am under the belief that your home is an extension of you and it really is a statement about you are.

Recently, I stumbled upon this amazingly talented chick, Jenny Beorkrem (at www.orkposters.com), who makes the most artistic and endearing posters I have ever laid my eyes upon.  Not only does she make regular posters, but she does screen prints (and signs them on the back), has a very detailed post about how to hang your purchase, and she explains why she picked certain colors for certain cities.  LA-mazing!
