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
Happy October 11 to all who celebrate 🎂”Your birthday is October 11?! So is mine!” SIX years later and these parent trap Halloween costumes remain as relevant as ever (frankly maybe even more relevant). Forever grateful to @carlyahill, the Hallie Parker to my Annie James. I believe there was a cultural reset the day we did this 🙊
Sometimes I actually can’t believe I’m a mom? Like I’m standing there holding a baby dressed in a bear fleece bunting watching my toddler running around and thinking, “whoa, these are my CHILDREN? I am a MOM???” Crazy and amazing 🫶🏻
I know, I know, they never went “out” in my opinion too, but I love seeing them come back into mainstream fashion. (As they should IMO!) These red boots were one of my first viral commissionable products on my blog- they took OFF on Pinterest and the rest was history. Feels like revisiting an old friend 😌 I bought these red ones right before a press trip to Scotland (!) with Barbour (!!) and I have the best memories. It’s a good reminder to “buy nice or buy twice.” Ten years later and we’re still going strong!

What would Audrey Hepburn wear in 2024? I think she’d wear something like this! Shop my head to toe look from @EvereveOfficial in my LTK Shop! https://liketk.it/4SYrI #EverevePartner #EvereveStyle
Can you believe that Teddy is 11 years old? We recently switched to @primalpetfoods Kibble in the Raw! It combines all the benefits of raw nutrition with the convenience of kibble. Each kibble-sized bite is crafted with freeze-dried raw meat and individually prepared ingredients for optimal digestibility, making it extremely convenient AND nutritious. #primalpetfoodspartner #ad
Ready for a fresh start this month. September is usually my favorite month of the year and I feel like it went by so fast I hardly got to enjoy it- the whole thing was a blur. Ready to savor October- I have a list of things I want to try to do (like sewing the boys’ Halloween costumes 🎃 and keep practicing my sourdough 🍞). If nothing else, I’m trying to take a moment *every day* to do something, even the tiniest 5-minute interlude, that brings me a moment of peace.
PS I definitely need to add some of the bigger blooms but I didn’t want to sacrifice them just yet 🙈
A simple September Sunday 🌧️💛 We’ve been trying to get out and do one last weekend adventure after naptime on Sunday afternoons before gearing back up for the weekday routine. Not even the rain could stop us!
Maybe this Reel isn’t exactly “instagram worthy” but it’s exactly what life looks and feels like right now and THAT is worthy of a permanent spot on the feed 🫶🏻
