We are getting new bedroom furniture and I really think I am going to splurge and get some nice bedding from Anthro. I have always wanted to own some of their bedding and I can't see any better occasion then moving into a new home. I think this will look fantastic with the grey walls.<br />

We got this huge paper mache elephant head for Vivian's room. I am so excited about it. It's covered in book pages.<br />

ASOS is everywhere. I had no idea they are the UK's largest online fashion retailer. I see them in InStyle all the time and had never looked around on their site, until a friend told me they carried maternity clothes. They have really cute, reasonably priced clothes and accessories. While I was poking around, I ran across this bracelet and am totally obsessed. Reminds me of Kate Spade's bracelets with twist. Of course, I love something that everyone else loves as well and it is out of stock.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xmrurw5JRDI/T165Hyuz47I/AAAAAAAABCw/dPBwqYJoew8/s1600/chevron-bangles-l.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 263px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xmrurw5JRDI/T165Hyuz47I/AAAAAAAABCw/dPBwqYJoew8/s400/chevron-bangles-l.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5719212120335442866" border="0" /></a>Kathrynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10010781152829219334noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6919775398107171866.post-4249805853447319372012-02-06T19:06:00.000-08:002012-02-06T19:12:11.377-08:00Spring shoes<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LAhvm92hJN0/TzCVY1k49eI/AAAAAAAABCk/v5P9L63c0y4/s1600/Picture%2B4.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 289px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LAhvm92hJN0/TzCVY1k49eI/AAAAAAAABCk/v5P9L63c0y4/s400/Picture%2B4.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5706224981809624546" border="0" /></a>These <a href="http://piperlime.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=59415&vid=1&pid=910912&scid=910912002">sandals</a> are so bright and fun.<br /></div>Kathrynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10010781152829219334noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6919775398107171866.post-28745204343163072912012-01-29T17:08:00.000-08:002012-01-29T17:17:37.827-08:00It's finally here!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JJzQesVm8SE/TyXuP7FnbvI/AAAAAAAABCY/JGYPVQE5MBE/s1600/photo.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JJzQesVm8SE/TyXuP7FnbvI/AAAAAAAABCY/JGYPVQE5MBE/s400/photo.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5703226460461297394" border="0" /></a>The Oklahoma City Anthropologie has finally opened!

Two words. Utter failure. I wish I could blame it on the horrendous 7 week bout of morning sickness I was battling, but lets face it, I was on the road to bombing this challenge long before I was with child. I choose to focus on the positive......which is, I finished two books. Only one of which I had set out to read from the start. The second book just sort of happened. I had been recommended <span style="font-style: italic;">This Is Where I Leave You</span> by a good friend almost two years ago. She was even kind enough to loan me her copy to read. After keeping it FOREVER, I returned it to her unread. Luckily, I had scored myself a paperback copy at the annual book sale for a quarter. There it sat on our bookshelf untouched until this last November. My father has become a reading machine and has been plowing through books faster than he can find something else to read. So, I gave him a few books and this just happened to be one he borrowed. He loved it. Laughed out loud at parts. Then my mom read it. Even purchased it as a birthday gift for someone. So, I starting reading it at Thanksgiving and I loved it. It is just my humor. <a href="http://missmarinastar.blogspot.com/">Miss Marina Star</a> you need to read this book. You won't be sorry. I know I owe you about five reads of recommended books at this point, but you will love this book.Kathrynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10010781152829219334noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6919775398107171866.post-10870707971607454092012-01-02T08:38:00.000-08:002012-01-02T08:48:20.614-08:00A New Year, A New BlogI will not be abandoning Mixed Handbag.

Just in time for my annual list of favorite music from the year. So, I'll get to it. Enjoy and happy holidays to all my Mixed Handbag readers (which I realize with my lack of posts has likely dwindled)!<br /><br />You can check out my <a href="http://mixedhandbag.blogspot.com/2008/12/not-your-typical-christmas-list.html">2008</a>, <a href="http://mixedhandbag.blogspot.com/2010/02/2009-music-picks.html">2009</a>, <a href="http://mixedhandbag.blogspot.com/2010/12/best-of-2010.html">2010</a> lists and reflect or laugh. Here are my picks for 2011.<br /><br />1. ADELE – <span style="font-style: italic;">21</span>. Maybe an obvious choice, given my last post but, this album is so good. This lady can sing. I can't pick one song. The whole album is good.<br />2. Fleet Foxes – <span style="font-style: italic;">Grown Ocean</span><br />3. The Strokes – <span style="font-style: italic;">Taken for a Fool</span><br />4. Death Cab for Cutie – <span style="font-style: italic;">Codes & Keys</span>. This whole album is good but my favorite song is definitely <span style="font-style: italic;">Monday Morning</span><br />5. Cults – I waited so long for this album to be released. My favorite is still <span style="font-style: italic;">Oh My God</span>.<br />6. Other Lives – <span style="font-style: italic;">For 12</span> & <span style="font-style: italic;">Tamer Animals</span><br />7. The Head and the Heart – <span style="font-style: italic;">Lost in my Mind</span><br />8. Foster the People – Mainstream, yes....but you can't tell me you don't love <span style="font-style: italic;">Helena Beat</span> or <span style="font-style: italic;">Pumped Up Kicks</span>.<br />9. Florence + The Machine – Chic music, maybe. But I am obsessed with <span style="font-style: italic;">Shake it Out</span>.<br />10. Feist – <span style="font-style: italic;">How Come You Never Go There</span><br />11. Bon Iver – <span style="font-style: italic;">Calgary</span><br />12. St. Vincent – <span style="font-style: italic;">Cruel</span><br />13. Dirty Gold – <span style="font-style: italic;">California Sunrise</span><br />14. Real Estate – <span style="font-style: italic;">It's Real</span><br />15. Mates of State – <span style="font-style: italic;">Sway</span><br />16. Cut Copy – <span style="font-style: italic;">Where I'm Going</span><br />17. The Decemberists - <span style="font-style: italic;">Rise to Me</span><br />18. Motopony – <span style="font-style: italic;">King of Diamonds</span><br />19. Givers – <span style="font-style: italic;">Up Up Up</span><br />20.

Isn't she is most beautiful baby you've ever seen? She will be two months old in a few days. I intended to blog about her arrival much sooner, but wanted to wait until Zach got her post up on his blog. I adore her, to say the least. She is amazing and I am so happy I get to see her on a pretty consistent basis. She has been a complete blessing to our family. We took her newborn pictures and had such a good time. Hands down the best newborn shoot to date.....however, I may be a little bias. Check out a few of our favorites at Zach's <a href="http://zachnash.com/blog/2011/10/delilah-wren.html">website</a>.

Let me explain. It's because I am addicted to <a href="http://pinterest.com/mixedhandbag/">Pinterest</a>. I literally cannot stop pinning......which has left me no extra time to blog. Pretty lame, I know. My husband pointed this out to me yesterday. I am too busy "pinning" and haven't really blogged much. Usually my absence it due to lack of inspiration or subject matter. Not this time. I guess he noticed because his RSS feed is filled with yummy dinner ideas and cute outfits, rather than my usual blog posts. It is just such a great site. A catalog of all the cool things I've seen online and can't ever seem to relocate. Recipes, links to blogs and DIY projects I want to try my hand at. No more bookmarking! Genius, I say!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Y_qxzliBqds/Tn-TEjzdDFI/AAAAAAAAA_U/IYcsa846ri4/s1600/Picture%2B2.png"><br /></a>Kathrynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10010781152829219334noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6919775398107171866.post-8879248163353977372011-09-06T17:40:00.000-07:002011-09-06T18:16:15.094-07:00Onions & Vacation<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-m_q_-gc9EWw/Tma-HvKy30I/AAAAAAAAA_M/F5KUnxgPwWk/s1600/k_onion_burger.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-m_q_-gc9EWw/Tma-HvKy30I/AAAAAAAAA_M/F5KUnxgPwWk/s400/k_onion_burger.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5649411822712971074" border="0" /></a>Hi. I'm back. But only for a quick post before I am off to Vegas for some R&R with a girlfriend. I have been absent and downright neglectful of my little corner of the world wide web. LOTS to catch up on when I return. But for now......<br /><br />Z and I attended the soft launch of Tucker's Onions Burgers tonight and..........I ate my very first onion burger. That's right, I ate something packed full of the thing I detest the most. Check out my bio, its right there "I don't like onions." But, you can't very well go into an establishment that has "onion" in their name and ask them to leave off the onions. I made my mind up on the drive over I was going to just go for it and try one. Lets face it, know one wants to be "that person" who special orders their onion burger minus the onions. I am happy to report the burger was awesome. I have made my husband so proud. Oh, and the Strawberry Limeaide was divine.Kathrynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10010781152829219334noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6919775398107171866.post-15377781183396521832011-07-27T17:59:00.000-07:002011-07-27T18:16:52.032-07:00The Challenge: An UpdateSome of you may remember this <a href="http://mixedhandbag.blogspot.com/2011/01/books-part-ii-challenge.html">post</a> from way back in January. Here's my attempt at a very underwhelming update. First, publicly decreeing my plan to read 5 books in 2011 didn't make me magically start reading more.

I thought this would be easy. I have been looking for almost 8 months to no avail. I have looked everywhere. It has come down to this. My pathetic pleas to my fellow bloggers. Go ahead.....try and Google this style of frame. Tell me how you search for it. It's annoying. Pinkitzel (the cupcake/candy place Downtown) has incredible ones hanging in their store but will not tell me the name of the store where they purchased them. All they would divulge is they purchased them in Dallas. Please leave a comment if you have any suggestions or can assist with my quest for this frame.

Creatively and ethically drained by the corporate world, she came up with an unusual creative challenge; to wear the same dress for an entire year–but, and this is where the real challenge came in, she’d have to make it look unique every single day.

She took something she loves and turned it into something that brought a lot of happiness and good to less fortunate people. I thought about this all day. The goodness in people. It sounds corny but in a world where you don't hear a lot of "good" in the news, it's really refreshing and inspiring to hear about people like this who are making a difference in others lives and don't want anything in return.Kathrynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10010781152829219334noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6919775398107171866.post-62227279141593027272011-06-29T14:59:00.000-07:002011-06-29T16:10:54.048-07:00Fashion that makes you want to travel!<div style="text-align: center;">Love this storyboard from Anthro..........<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VfcEfBaK7bM/TgugpX6al9I/AAAAAAAAA9k/b8ZcVFUFPMY/s1600/Picture%2B3.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 272px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VfcEfBaK7bM/TgugpX6al9I/AAAAAAAAA9k/b8ZcVFUFPMY/s400/Picture%2B3.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623765192356304850" border="0" /></a>plus these rings.....<br /></div><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JSV4hlzLrl8/Tgug_4gQiRI/AAAAAAAAA9s/xfniADGvYe8/s1600/20887980_046_b.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 284px; height: 185px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JSV4hlzLrl8/Tgug_4gQiRI/AAAAAAAAA9s/xfniADGvYe8/s400/20887980_046_b.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623765579062085906" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xAtAZ4Liz3w/TgugcycmDBI/AAAAAAAAA9c/D7LMc-KuD-M/s1600/Picture%2B3.png"><br /></a>Kathrynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10010781152829219334noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6919775398107171866.post-19025071203918927272011-06-21T16:32:00.000-07:002011-06-21T17:02:12.529-07:00DressesI love dresses. In the summer it is basically all I wear. I await the arrive of "acceptable" dress wearing weather like most kids anticipate the last day of school or the first day the pool is open. About 4 years ago, a co-worker dared me to wear a dress everyday for an entire month (weekends excluded) without purchasing anything new. Killed it. Wore a different dress for 4 work weeks and had two dresses to spare. Granted, I didn't love every selection, but that is beside the point. Every woman has a signature piece of clothing they like. A particular style they wear with confidence. I feel good in a dress. Always have. Growing up my grandmother would make me an Easter and a Christmas dress every year. I would be so excited in the weeks leading up to the arrival of the "dress package." I vividly remember the year she made me a beautiful red velvet dress for Christmas and made a matching dress for my Cabbage Patch. Most all of the dresses are still hanging in my closet at my parents house in Stillwater. They are so special and I don't think my mom or I either have the heart to part with them. My childhood love of a good dress has never faded. In fact, when Anthropologie sends me an email saying they have just freshly cut dresses and they are on SALE.....you can imagine my reaction! Here are a few of my current favorites. **Technically, the last two are the sale dresses. I just loved the green & orange dress too much not to blog about it.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JPU4xydlgUg/TgEtDhvo3OI/AAAAAAAAA9U/CapTOrwIlqk/s1600/21110440_049_b.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JPU4xydlgUg/TgEtDhvo3OI/AAAAAAAAA9U/CapTOrwIlqk/s400/21110440_049_b.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5620823348556127458" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=21110440&parentid=BAYNOTE">Backswept Dress</a><br /><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center; font-style: italic;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KRmhGwULSvo/TgEs_dqKQKI/AAAAAAAAA9M/mt6I9_7YmUE/s1600/21089636_095_b.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KRmhGwULSvo/TgEs_dqKQKI/AAAAAAAAA9M/mt6I9_7YmUE/s400/21089636_095_b.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5620823278739931298" border="0" /></a><a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=21089636&catId=SHOPSALE-FRESHCUTS&pushId=SHOPSALE-FRESHCUTS&popId=SHOPSALE&navAction=jump&navCount=0&color=095&isProduct=true&fromCategoryPage=true&templateType=E"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Glass Glow Shift</span></span></a><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zNi7x0mceow/TgEs6v54BII/AAAAAAAAA9E/CztHPRNM4c0/s1600/20751731_009_b.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zNi7x0mceow/TgEs6v54BII/AAAAAAAAA9E/CztHPRNM4c0/s400/20751731_009_b.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5620823197738337410" border="0" /></a><a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=20751731&catId=SHOPSALE-FRESHCUTS&pushId=SHOPSALE-FRESHCUTS&popId=SHOPSALE&navAction=jump&navCount=0&color=009&isProduct=true&fromCategoryPage=true&templateType=E"><span style="font-size:85%;">Quechua Dress</span></a></div>Kathrynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10010781152829219334noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6919775398107171866.post-40328244447360269782011-06-20T18:06:00.000-07:002011-06-20T18:11:08.351-07:00A Million Years<iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/LUnXgucl748" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="349" width="560"></iframe><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Alexander - A Million Years</span><br />I love this song.
