My New Favorite Wallet
This is the HOBO Lauren wallet in “Coin” which is a metallic champagne gold color. I wear a lot of gold and since this wallet is large enough to carry alone as a clutch, I figured that would be the most versatile. They come out with new colors every season, though, and it was really hard to choose (hot pink and embossed brown were also at the top of my wish list).
As you know, I’m all about finding great sale prices, so at the end of the post I linked to several different online stores that sell these wallets (my exact wallet is {here} and I bought it for over half off retail since it’s from a previous season). I also found an off-brand vegan style for you {here} if you don’t want to carry genuine leather.

Our New Mattress from Sears–The Serta iComfort Hybrid
We spend (ideally) one third of our lives asleep, that is a pretty significant number! When I think about that, I don't know why it took so long for me and my husband to get a new mattress to sleep on. It really should have been more of a priority. Now that we are sleeping on a Serta iComfort Hybrid … [Read More...]
