Fallin’ for Barrington

Barrington Tote Black Watch Plaid St. Anne Black Watch Plaid Barrington St. Anne ToteI have been in love with Barrington Totes since the beginning of summer. I have secretly stalked their website and pinned many different fabric options for possible Christmas gifts. However, when their new Fall Collection came out, I fell head over heels for their Black Watch Plaid Collection. & when they offered to send me one, I may have jumped up and down like a little girl on Christmas morning. It is insanely perfect. I am obsessing over plaid right now and its plaid (enough said). I love throwing my stuff in a tote for work each morning and this bag has so much space that its super easy to toss in my laptop, planner and notebooks. I am really thinking I am going to need a summer print now too, because it is just too perfect. I haven’t even mentioned they monogram yet. & we all know monograms make it even cuter.

 

Also, ignore my horrible photos, I am realizing that it is getting dark much sooner thus my lighting has been super bad for all of my outfit pictures. Note to self: No more outfit pictures after work, must be done strictly on weekends when the sun is shining! I must have tried twenty different angles to try to show you how adorable this tote is. On that note, a little life update. My schedule feels like it has been insanely hectic the past week with no end in site. I am really hoping that it slows down, because I am exhausted and know that with the Holidays coming soon, it is only going to get busier. As this post gets even more random, I love the holidays and can’t wait to be around all my family. This weekend we got to see a ton of family for the funeral and even though it was a rough, it was so nice to just be around family all weekend.

    I am obsessed with plaid (I may or may not have a plaid button up shirt collection) and recently, I’ve been expanding that obsession by buying plaid shirts, so you bet I am highly coveting that bag or anything from the Black Watch Plaid collection right now! It looks amazing with your outfit! xx

  • Have you ever been curious about homeschooling, but felt overwhelmed by the thought of doing it all yourself?

I recently learned about Texas Virtual Schools, a tuition-free public virtual school in Texas that provides Texas-certified teachers, accredited curriculum, personalized learning plans, and individualized support for students.

For families looking for flexibility without having to create and manage every aspect of their child’s education on their own, this is an option worth exploring.
