sweet snippets: lies i might have told you...my favorite store latico

last week i was hardcore swooning over these notebooks from linda and harriet and claiming that i was going to get the blue stripes and anchor notebook. i am going to have to admit that i lied to you. why would i do such a thing might you ask? well it was extremely unintentional as i made a few purchases this weekend that will have to put those notebooks on the back burner. (or potential birthday presents...hint hint mom!)

i was just so excited about one of my purchases that i just had to share. i got it yesterday when i took a much needed vacation day down to baltimore to visit two of my besties (and probably our two most loyal sweet snippet readers). we visited this store which was so wonderful it deserves it's own post which i will put up later this week, full of awesome pictures.

at this store i found the ultimate leather bag. i have been looking for a nice brown leather bag for a while. when i found this bag by latico, i got more excited than a 12 year old girl at a justin bieber concert (only hopefully with less squealing). latico is a new jersey based company that makes all of their bags in the garden state.

i got this beauty - the sydney. it is the perfect shape and makes me feel just a little hipster while still altogether very preppy (who would've thought that is even possible??) you can't see it in this picture but the top flops over to make it the perfect size cross-body bag as well. pretty awesome!!

but here are a few of my other faves from their store. the quality of the bag and the leather is phenomenal, i definitely recommend you check them out!
