Okay. Two pieces of good news: 1). In two days time I’ll be in the Big Easy of New Orleans for their annual Jazz Festival.

I promise to document via photos and twitter while there. This will be my 5th trip?

2). I returned my Alexander Wang Brenda bag because I got EXTREMELY lucky in getting my hands on a used 1st edition instead. Used bags don’t bother me so it’s a score in my books. The cheap price was the clincher, but unexpected bonuses made it even better: The leather is softer and the hardware is chunkier and more industrial-like. The top compartment opens with easy access double zipper pulls. Plus it’s slighty bigger. Bonus! This will be handy for getting through airports this week as well as stuffing my face with powder sugared beignets completely hands free.

Mask: From New Orleans. Bag: Alexander Wang

There is a third piece of good news but I’ll be posting about that very very soon with pictures and video ; )
