All the Frills: Purse Edition

I got me a fancy new purse (and by “fancy” I mean I got it at H&M for under $50). Time will tell if it holds up long term (I’ve had mixed luck with items from H&M) but it definitely feels pretty sturdy and I’ve been using it to lug an unhealthy amount of stuff to and from work daily for the past week and, so far, I’m really happy with the quality and construction. Plus it’s just so darn pretty…

Weekend Reading:

• Remember that movie Troop Beverly Hills with Shelley Long? I loved that movie when I was a kid. It’s embarrassing but the folks at Vulture hit me right in my nostalgia zone when they compiled this ranking of all the 80s-tastic outfits that Ms Long sports in that film.
  
• This is hilarious – the British Embassy was forced to apologize over a tweet celebrating the anniversary of the British torching the White House in 1814. I guess 200 years was too soon.
  
• Vulture then again hit the nail on the head and gave me a good chuckle with their Great Moments in Dystopian Knitwear. Which is genius.
  
• A roundup of the world’s most beautiful libraries. I feel very spoilt to have spent a considerable amount of time in 5 of them.
  
• A photographer translated what scientists know about climate change into a series of beautiful, stark, disturbing images.
  
• Let’s make fun of Anthropologie furniture!
