up my sleeve, part deux!

some time ago, i introduced you all to up my sleeve boutique & it's positively delightful owner, sarah laubinger (see my 'deep thoughts' over to the right... sarah did a pretty good job of summing up my thoughts on life). sarah & i have kept in touch about the goings on at up my sleeve & what's next for her fantastic line of nantucket basket purses, jewerly & gifts. the more we talked about everything that she was doing...sending baskets to oodles of celeb offspring (i have it on good authority that courtney cox loves the purse sarah made for coco!), & making bespoke purses for michelle, malia & sasha for their vineyard retreat... i knew i had to get one of her great purses soon, or risk missing out on the next big thing!

sarah helped me deliberate color & size, & we finally settled on a natural monogram plate, with a blue monogram - very shore aesthetic, don't you think?
sarah hand-made the monogram plate just for me! swoon!!thank you sarah, for my gorgeous, lovely, incredible purse (i could use more adjectives, but we'd be here for quite a while)! everyone should be so lucky to have a lifelong treasure like this!

check out sarah's shop here, & keep your eyes peeled for a whole new up my sleeve shop very soon!

life is short.

i'm desperate to have one of these on my arm... from up my sleeve boutique, i'm totally smitten with these oh-so-classic nantucket basket purses. talk about beach chic! nantucket basket purses were must-haves decades ago, but a classic never goes out of style, does it? country club to yacht club, i'll take one of each. the great part about the pieces from up my sleeve boutique, is that they don't break the budget! each priced more-than-reasonably, they're a total steal for a lifetime wardrobe staple.the company is brand new, & sure to be a success. owner sarah has a delightful credo (i might just have to adopt this!): life is short. make it count. have good taste.
