This sky-blue Balenciaga Step is sister to the petal-pink version I wrote about last summer. I have given up almost all of my Balenciagas in favor of sturdier bags, but the Step style is one that I can’t seem to part with. The Step’s gently triangular shape reminds me ever so slightly of the Hermès [...]

I was looking for a stylish day bag for spring, and found the Mulberry Somerset Tote. The name alone makes this bag appealing – Mulberry is headquartered in Somerset, England, one of my favorite places, and many of its bags are still made there.

I‘ve never written about Prada before because I haven’t fallen in love with anything Prada…until now.

The first thing I changed on the Eee PC S101 was the operating system. I noticed when I first booted up the S101 that it came with Xandros Linux installed, but the label on the keyboard says “Designed for Windows XP.” The box contained a system restore CD, but it was a generic CD and [...]

My pink S101 is here! And it’s the perfect shade of pink – silvery and very slightly sparkly in sunlight. It got here all the way from Taiwan in just six days. I’m very pleased with it so far; it was packed very carefully so it’s in perfect shape, and everything’s working fine right out [...]
