My New Favorite Thing: Cambridge Satchel Company Bag

I got this Cambridge Satchel Company neon pink bag about a week ago...and since then I have had mixed reviews from strangers. One person asked if I was a crossing guard. Others just politely commented on how bright my bag is. The girl at iHop loved it. 

I quickly realized that neon isn't for everyone and everyone can't "do" neon. I am one of the lucky ones that isn't embarrassed by the comments, and boy do people love to comment on the color! So yes I am bright and possibly a crossing guard-either way...I LOVE my neon. Some of my favorite neon Cambridge Satchel Company bag pics (below) inspired the purchase. Besides the neon fun, this is my second Cambridge Satchel bag so I obviously think the brand is great. I also have it in classic yellow. It is a sturdy bag that fits my iPad and all of my essentials. I love having the ability to wear it cross-body or use it as a large clutch, seen below.

What's in a name? I remember the first thing I ever bought with my name on it. It was a sticker book that said Barbara. No, my real name isn't Barbara, but when I was a kid they didn't have anything with the name Amber! It was SO frustrating. I think it was in the 90s when I started to finally see my name, so I bought pencils, $5 nameplate necklaces, notebooks. I stocked up!

Today we are lucky. You can have any name in the world and personalize it. I recently bought a pretty little iPhone cover with my initials, exactly like the one below, and am buying my mom one for mothers day (from Daninotes) in lavender and yellow (shhhh!).

Next on my list is either a nameplate necklace or initial necklace.

Other things I would like to have monogramed...anything J Crew, especially that peach sweater, which happens to be the color of the week. I already have a Cambridge Satchel Company bag, but it looks so good with letters. And, Jonathan Adler pillows make a sweet addition to any room. 

Color of the Week: Yellow

Having a yellow moment right now, especially when paired with gray, although I don't have much of either color in my wardrobe or home. Craspedia flowers have seemed hard to find in Texas but they are so simple and lovely I might need to order them online.
