Marilyn’s Private Archives

February 28, 2011

It’s been a while since I visited Barnes and Noble, ever since I purchased my Nook I have an online purchasing obsession.  But, I’m glad I did, because I found the most amazing new book on Marilyn Monroe.  A few months back, Vanity Fair featured an article on Marilyn Monroe’s lost archives and provided pictures of some of the items in her long, lost filing cabinets.  
Well, now there’s a gorgeous, coffee-table style book that features the story behind the items, and a catalog of photos displaying the items.  It is fascinating!  The Barnes and Noble website says it is being released March 1, 2011, but it was in the store on Saturday.  You have to get yourself a copy!  It is amazing ($35).

I went shopping as promised for my new Harvey’s Original Seatbelt Bag and ended up buying two bags and a wallet! LOL.  I’m having a little trouble, however deciding on one more…and need your opinion.  The black Stella style above is the one I purchased already.

So, here’s my question, which one do you like as another fun bag?

Espresso?
Classic Black?
Rose?
Minnie Mouse special edition for Disneyland?
Or Razzleberry?
Help me out?  Which one do you think, and why?  Hope you all had a fabulous weekend!  xoxo

    You can never go wrong with (1) brown and (1) black. I absolutely adore the special edition Disney bag but, the razzleberry wins it for me – that’s my vote.

    I have the Razzleberry and absolutely LOVE the color! If you are looking for something a with a little less “pop” I’d get the espresso. Such a gorgeous bag! Enjoy!!

    Hey Kori! Cute bags. I thought on twitter you said you already bought the minnie mouse one? Did you buy a different one besides the black?

    I like the espresso and the razzleberry. Since you already have a practical black one it seems like you should get another color. The razzleberry is definitely more fun, while the espresso is still somewhat practical. Good choices, though. I love that bag style.

    Ah decisions decisions….I like them all but here is my take.

    espresso – if you need a brown bag this is great pick.
    black – this is my favorite, but you already bought a black one!
    pink – love my pink, but this might be hard to match.
    minnie – so so cute!! i wear alot of black and white… so i would go for this to jazz things up. it’s also a great convo starter… you’ll get so many compliments on it.

    so overall, i’m not much help making a decision am i? haha… at least you can’t go wrong.
    (did you just add the razzleberry? or did i not scroll down enough!? don’t make this harder than it has to be.)

    xoxo

    I know right? There’s also a super bright pink for summer and a classic red…I think I’d get the Minnie Mouse before plain red though. Kori xoxo

    I am torn between the rose and the espresso. I don’t change bags very often so I go for the ones that match the most.
    I do love the minnie one though.

Inspiration & Blessings

Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way, over the man who carries out evil devices! Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath! Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil. For the evildoers shall be cut off, but those who wait for the Lord shall inherit the land.

Psalm 37:7-9
