Through one of my many sources, I discovered that Crumpler, purveyors of fine messenger/laptop bags, will be hosting their annual Beer For Bags event again starting on June 9.

Oooh, me likey that bag. I've heard of the Beer for Bags thing before, and I've always wished I could get down there for that. Especially since you get to go to a party and drink said beer afterwards!

Short-sleeved work shirts are a good thing to have. I'm wearing one of my faves today.

See edit. :(

I saw your post! How exciting!

I may do a quick Ann Taylor Loft run today to see if they have anything to my liking. AND NOT BUY ANOTHER DRESS, AS I ALREADY HAVE A METRIC TON OF SUMMERY DRESSES.

NY & Co is also generally good for such tops - and I think are having a sale! (Hell, I kind of want to hit them up.)

Hmm. I'll give them a look. That's a good point!

Ooo, this one might be perfect for my Australia trip! Funny to buy a bag for a trip there to a company based there.

Well, I'm glad that posting the link had some use!

It is funny - but you know it'll be useful over there if they make it!

(what color do you think?)

I think I'd get the Headaitch in the red (I know, how Sharon of me ;). Not sure whether to get the small or medium though.

A meant the Headaitch, not sure why that didn't link

The Status Belly owns my soul. I got one last year at b4b and love it so much I bought one for my mom on ebay (for around thirty bucks, in case you want to go that way). I would totally pay money for another.
