Tough Yet Beautiful

Now I don’t know if its because I’m a his­tory nerd,  I have a love for mar­tial arts, or I like any­thing that makes you feel more pow­er­ful in your every­day life…but I absolutely ADORE these bags from Empire 33. What’s more empow­er­ing that walk­ing around town with the han­dle of a civil war or katana sword?!?!!?…Well maybe the sword itself   ;) Although, that might be a lit­tle harder to coor­di­nate with your out­fit. These beau­ti­ful hand­crafted Ital­ian leather bags are sim­ply bril­liant because they aren’t just a beau­ti­ful piece of art, they are func­tional and they give you more insight on the woman whose hold­ing it. A.…“Don’t mess with me or I’ll cut off YOUR sword to make my next bag atti­tude!!”

Project Runway in Chicago

I will be in Chicago this week­end pro­mot­ing the sixth sea­son of Project Run­way! I am excited because I have never been to this “windy city” but I will make sure to throw on a cou­ple extra hat pins.  Sur­pris­ingly though, with an aver­age wind speed of 10.3 mph it is not the windi­est city in the United States.  Dodge City, Kansas holds that title with an aver­age wind speed of 13.9 mph. Maybe the record winds in Kansas are why Dorothy’s house blew away in the Wiz­ard of Oz.….. well that and the tor­nado.

So this week­end when I make my way to Chicago I will try to avoid texting/talking while walk­ing across the street (there is a pro­posed ban on this in IL!) and strong winds since I have a hunch that even a slight wind for Chicago could prob­a­bly blow me away…I’m kind of light­weight. ;-)
