As exams grow ever nearer, I am regressing to all my favorite books and movies out of fear… but it’s hard not to celebrate when
On December 10th (just in time for Christmas y’all!) Mary Poppins will be released on Blue-Ray (and combo pack and digital HD) for the first time! And I’m wondering if she will usher in a new bag trend:
CARPETBAGS
Seriously, is it just me or am I starting to see needlepoint, jacquard, carpet-esk material everywhere? First it was these:
For some reason all the men in my dreams are named Mr. Stubbs or Mr. Wootton.. probably because I can’t have themmmmm *sob*
Then Zara gave us this: (my pictures are from ebay and if you dare buy this out from under me… I will eat too much pizza crying and there will be no more fashion)
Mary Poppins, needlepoint shoes, Zara jacket? Coincidence you say. But you can’t argue with AGE!
If you have not seen the blog Advanced Style please leave now and go enlighten yourself (but come back now ya’ hear!). Really, it’s the most beautiful and charming collection of pictures taken by Ari Seth Cohen. There are only two stipulations: they subjects are all elderly people and they all have fantastic or quirky or dynamic or intriguing style. So, as I was staring my future in the face the other evening:
This is Ari Seth Cohen’s photo!
That might not be quite a carpet bag… but it’s definitely in the carpet bag family… making it a welcome mat bag? They very next post you can’t deny.

This lovely lady even has her own vintage purse store WITH carpetbags here.
So what do you think? Are carpet bags the next big thing or did they go out with Reconstruction? Let me know what you think, and in the mean time have a jolly holiday!!
Disney came out with copy a few years ago. Notice they don’t show you the bottom of the bag…
In case, you want to get in on them now, they are going for relatively little on Ebay… in the range of 20 to 50 for the cheaper ones.

Thaոk you, I aƿpreciatе it!
I use the free wordpress service to do all my blogging.
Hey there! I realize this is somewhat off-topic however I needed to ask.
Does building a well-established website like yours
take a lot of work? I amm brand new to operating a blog
however I do write iin my journal on a daily basis.
I’d liike to start a blog so I can share my own experience
and views online. Pleease let me know if yoou have any ideas or tiips for brand neww
aspiring blog owners. Appreciate it!
Thanks for the interest Carley, the way I run my website is all done through wordpress. I bought the domain name (for 15 dollars a year), but I put all my info into wordpress and voila! blogpost. I would say the most difficult part is posting regularly. New content will come to you, but I always find taking the time to write it down to be the most difficult.
