The fabulous Sarah over at Prairie Perch asked if I would participate in her guest series “Lovin’ Lately”, while she is away on vacation. Sarah is another Saskatchewan design blogger (we appear to be a bit of a rare species), and we’ve had the opportunity to meet in recent months. I look forward to many more inspiring visits with her in the near future. I was more than thrilled to scope out some items that have been intriguing me most recently. Curiously, most of them fit a similar colour scheme, and I didn’t realize until I pulled them all together in a collage. Take a peek at Sarah’s blog to see the seven objects for the home, that I’m currently smitten with.
Every year, the onset of fall spurs in me a sense of preparation. And by preparation, I mean shopping. To be honest, summer gear is less than inspiring to me, I’m just not a hot weather girl. Autumn is far and away my favourite season, and I’m itching to pull out my favourite boots and sweaters. Though this week’s forecast looks to rival the hottest we’ve experienced all summer, I know all too well how quickly that will change. I have yet to outgrow the compulsive need to procure some shiny new outfits to go back-to-school. That ritual which played out so many times in my youth, I cannot bare to abandon today. For that I can both blame and thank my mother. Curiously, I don’t buy new clothing for my own children at this time of year, I wait until the weather cools a little more.
So in honour of the ritual of back to school, and as an extension of the piece I did for Sarah’s blog, this week I’m going focus on “What I’m Lovin’ Lately”, the fashion edition. Will attempt to write a couple posts this week to give this important topic the attention it fully deserves. To start with, I’m going to share my new bag (ordered, though it has not yet arrived), the PS1 by Proenza Schouler, size large in midnight blue. Does it not look like the most glorious version of a book bag ever created, perfect to take back to school? I’ve been obsessing over this bag for at least a year, and then debated on colour for quite some time more. Cannot wait until it arrives!
That is a great a bag. Thanks again for putting the guest post together! (I'm enjoying my vacation and trying to get caught up on some blog reading.)

Are you trying to give me a heart attack??? Seriously, that bag is one of the most gorgeous creations that Proenza Schouler has created to date...LOVE...I was seriously tempted to buy Target's knock off version until I heard how mad they were about it, then I just couldn't look at it the same! (c: Adore the color you picked, I would be stalking my postman to see when it arrived!!!

I can't seem to knock that new fall wardrobe thing either. As soon as the breeze blows, I'm eager to put on some layers. Gorgeous bag and I love the colour you picked.
