Do you remember the sterling silver necklace I had made for my mom from Vintage Pearl? I gave it to her at Christmas and she almost didn’t know what to do with herself she loved it so much.
Seriously, hard core love.

This post was sponsored by Vintage Pearl. My opinions about their jewelry and my mother’s reaction to her Christmas present are 100% mine.
I’m a day late, a dollar short, the house is messy, and my father-in-law is still in town.
I can’t win today.
However, I do have a cute photo of Precocious’ outfit to bide you over.
We were in L.A. last week? The week before? I don’t know. We were in L.A. at some point this month for an event with Jennifer Garner that I’ll post about as soon as the swelling in my hands goes down.
Not even kidding a little on that one.
We walked a little bit on Hollywood Boulevard, just as long as it took to find a drugstore with a cold diet Dr Pepper and a nail salon for a cheap-o pedicure, and I got some cute shots of Precocious’ outfit. We’re in the tricky stage of “not a kid, not a teen” with style, so I’ll be posting photos of her outfits now and again, so you can navigate the tricky waters with me.
This is one of my more favorite outfits she’s put together, minus the white Hanes sports socks, which were a deliberate decision on her part in an effort to keep blisters at bay.

The Hobo bag is obviously mine, it’s bigger than her torso, and what tween needs a bag that big? Not mine.
This week’s What’s in Your Purse Series Purse is from Jan from Aerograms from Jan, a Canadian Expat living in Ireland. I want to be like her when I grow up. Thanks Janice!
Purse – I lusted after this black leather Coach bag (model 9326) for years since I first met my best mate Marie back in 2003. When Marie retired hers from regular usage, I sneakily picked one up on eBay and it’s been my best mate ever since (sorry Marie – first for mimicking your handbag style and secondly for replacing you with an inanimate object). When my lovely little Coach isn’t slung over my shoulder and nestled snuggly under my arm, it’s keeping my Nanny’s old stole company in the cupboard (don’t they look happy together?)
Contents -
1. Oyster card – This is a prepay travel card to use the Tube in London. I don’t live in London but I seem to carry this around all the time for when I travel there for work or to visit mates.
2. Eyeglass case and a glasses wipe – I’m a long time wearer of specs and it’s my uber pet peeve when my glasses get a grease mark on them and I have nothing to wipe them off with.
3. An Eiffel tower motif linen bag – to carry my lippie and eyedrops in.
4. Pink leopard print elastic hair tie – oh dear…
5. A bagmate – my handbag organizer that I put all the rest of the contents in and can transfer everything easily between handbags
6. Housekeys – “There’s no place like home. There’s no place like home….”
7. iPod headphones – but no iPod….hmmmmm….I will have to locate that…
8. Canon camera – carried around to snap pictures of me looking chummy with celebrities (which has yet to happen so mostly I just take snaps of happy times with my mates)
9. Matthew Williamson for H&M wallet – I believe your driving license, credit card and bus fare deserve to be sported about in something colourful.
10. 1930′s celluloid sunglasses – bought on eBay and brought out the instant the Irish weather turns the least bit sunny (which is a rare treat, believe me….)
11. A business card for the Millhouse restaurant on College Green in Dublin – we got a gift voucher as a wedding present and haven’t managed to make it there yet….nummy…
12. Shine On Bon Bon Lipstick
13. Ginger Lip Gloss
14. Boots Contact Eye Drops
15. Lip Naturals Teat Tree Mint Lip Balm – I can find this no where other than my dentist office back in Canada and a website in China so buy it in bulk from the far east. By FAR the best soothing lip balm for super dry lip sufferers!
16. Half a pack of Extra Cool Breeze gum – for those impromptu make-out sessions (with my husband, naturally)
17. A one way ticket for the Dublin Air Coach
18. A one way ticket for the Berlin metro – leftover from my hen party there this summer – I wish I could go back!
19. iPod charger – yet still no iPod – hmmmmm….
20. A nose-plug – because I’m lame and can’t go surfing without one (it’s on my life list to sort that out)
