Twillys are a fun way to customize and dress up your bags. So I wanted to share 8 ways to tie an Hermes Twilly on your bag handles to give you some inspiration. It's up to you if you want to tie a twilly on one or both handles of your bags. In my personal opinion, I think you either wrap a twilly around each handle or none at all. Having a twilly on your bag handles will protect the leather. Therefore, you will get inconsistent wear on your handles if they're not on both. But if you're just looking to get one twilly to decorate your bag with many of these ways to tie an Hermes twilly work great as any accessory to your bag. If you're not concerned about wear on your bag handles, I highly recommend giving these a try! And the beauty about these is you can always switch them up! They're super easy to do, and don't take much time, so on ... Read more...

Vintage Christmas: Shopping for Vintage Christmas Ornaments
When Justin and I got our first place together I decided we needed to have vintage Christmas ornaments on our tree. I never had a Christmas tree growing up so I was beyond excited to have one in our home.

Right around the holidays they had a Christmas shop inside and there were tons of vintage Christmas ornaments. I quickly became hooked! That first Christmas in San Francisco, I purchased a number of ornaments to get our ... Read more...
