Remember back in February when my laptop was on the fritz? Well, it bit the dust. It technically still works but it was not working for me anymore. The battery no longer held a charge and I watched that rainbow spinning wheel of doom one too many times. I was really hoping my little laptop could hang in there until the four year mark, but, alas, it was time to upgrade.
I got the new version of the same laptop, 13 inch Macbook Pro, maxed out on ram. It was a big week for purchases at the Apple store for me because I surprised my mom with a Macbook Air for Mother’s Day slash her birthday.
Even if a new laptop isn’t on your to-do list, maybe it’s time to upgrade your laptop sleeve. Guys. I had the same pink laptop sleeve that I got back in 2008, a week after my high school graduation. I guess because I’ve had it for so long I didn’t really notice how gross it got. It wasn’t so much light pink anymore as it was a dusty grey. Yuck! Barrington Gifts gave me this leather laptop sleeve while I was in Dallas. Not only is it cleaner and sleeker than my pink one, it’s so much more grown up looking. About time!
o.m.g That Vera sleeve and the Barrington ones are so so cute. I really do need to invest in a sleeve but so many cute choices haha. #Firstworldproblems
I love the Barrington and the Kate Spade ones! I'm about to get a new laptop for college, so I'll definitely need an adorable laptop sleeve to match. I'm stuck between a macbook and a PC right now though! It seems like macs are the crowd favorite, but I just can't decide.
My laptop fizzled out during finals week this semester. After five and a half years of being a faithful Dell user, I upgraded to a Macbook. I. AM. IN. LOVE. I was secretly hoping that you would do another post on laptop sleeves because I have been searching for the perfect one!
I'm at the same point with my laptop. It's 5 and a half years old and even though it works, I'm so frustrated with the spinning wheel of death and the lack of battery charge. So I'm getting a new one, and might treat myself to a new case too. Anything by Kate Spade wins in my book. x
These are really cute! I When I got my new Macbook Pro for Christmas I bought the Tory Burch York tote so I could easily transport my laptop and still have a padded space for it.
I need a new laptop sleeve but for some reason I am SO sentimental about getting rid of my old one. It's the silliest thing to be sentimental about though!
Aww such cute sleeves! Mine is a sturdy one from Herschel and while it's a bit plain, it's really durable and too cute! xx, Mikkaela The Southwestern Prepster
I was so excited that @MyMyrtleBeach invited me to come play pickleball with them! I am obsessed with pickleball and had a blast playing at City Pickle, right here in NYC. We brushed up on the rules, practiced some dinking, and got to play a few rounds of the game– it was the perfect way to spend the day because everyone plays at the beach! #ad
I loved watching The Parent Trap growing up and still do to this day. It is one of my go-to comfort movies… There’s so much I love about it: the cast, the soundtrack, and (of course!) the wardrobe. We all have a little Annie James and a little Hallie Parker in us! I’ve always been drawn to Annie’s style, but love the carefree nature of Hallie’s. #parenttrap @nmeyers #tuckernucking

Wearing vs styling an outfit with a bump! I feel so much better when I’m wearing something cute (dress well to feel well maybe?)… I’ve been fighting the temptation to wear comfy clothes while pregnant though! So far I have found blazers and cardigans an easy way to dress up my second trimester bump, especially as we enter fall.
Apple picking throughout the years 🍎 I can’t wait to go this year. It’s one of my favorite fall activities to do… I don’t even care that it’s usually expensive and crowded and basic, I live for it!
Fall for me means tailored blazers, touches of corduroy, and cozy sweaters… @jcrew, as always, has us covered with all the classics! Shop my head to toe look with @shop.ltk #liketkit https://liketk.it/4iOR7 #injcrew #ad
