Affordable Anthropologie Typographic Canvas Bag

Rarely do I post twice in a row about bags of all things, however, when I saw this at Anthropologie yesterday, I knew I had to share it with you. As many of you know, I'm the ultimate typographic nerd. Slap letters on something, and I'm sold. Not only do I love canvas bags for Spring and Summer, the turquoise and fuchsia add the perfect pop of colour to the canvas and gray.  And the straps-- they're leather. Metallic Leather.

Guess what? This bag is only...drumroll please...

$68.00! From Anthropologie! (I thought there was some kind of law which states that each bag they sell must be over $100?)

You know, usually my blog is a place for me to record pretty things that, instead of buying, I just enjoy looking at, but I just may have to snag this one!

A Closer Look at Robert Best's Vintage-Inspired Barbie Illustrations

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In continuation from yesterday, I thought I'd show you a closer peek at Robert Best's illustrations. To me, the manner in which the hair and eyes are drawn just... make each piece.  After further researching the artist, I found an entire calendar of these gorgeous sketches right here! 

Furthermore, I learned about an entire line of *collector* barbies called Silkstone. This collection was introduced in 2000 and is still in production today. Each piece in the Silkstone collection evokes the 1960's in clothing style and features. Want to start collecting them? Be prepared to spend $160-$250 per doll on eBay. I think perhaps I'll stick with the calendar.
