Stylish with Substance

Ooh, Ra Ra! This Silver Tasseled Satchel by Anthropologie makes me want to cheer with school spirit. As a full-load college student, my current tote is ready to drop out. But this genuine leather bag is sure to be sturdy, and in a crackled tan, it has an already broken-in feel. Style-wise, it's satisfactory, but I do especially like those side buckled belts (major in class, right now). And I like that it definitely gives off a graduated vibe. Will it pass the true test of toting-time? It works hard with 2 front "cargo" pockets, an outside zipped "pouch"---inside; 2 accessory pouches and a zippered pocket. At 14" x 11.5" x 4", it's my book-&-essentials lugging dream! But at its near-$300 price tag, it may remain just that without some "financial aid." I've added it to my Birthday List on Kiss Me, Stace, so maybe I'll get a gift certificate to help me wake up and get going!

Well, my dear friends and loved ones, I've been compiling a list of gifts found on the web, for my birthday wish list. I worked on saving my necessities for months. I even narrowed it down to the bare essentials to come in at under $700! Finally, I wrote up the page here, for you, with 1 month exactly to go 'til Oct. 30th. Enough time to buy, enough time to not forget! Oh, yes, the exact amount of time to get you working, now! Oh, but it's so easy; a few clicks with a mouse, and typing the numbers on your credit card! I have done all the work for you.

Fellow females can even use my selections as tips. This is good for all. It's like a gift from moi, and you're very welcome!
