Slim Pickins

As much as I love J.Crew, I find the sizing to be very frustrating and I often end up paying more just to have the pieces altered. I mean, you would think that they would have jumped on board with the whole slim-fitting-modern-man thing, but as it so happens, they’re getting closer! I went into the Pasadena store last week when a really nice salesperson recommended the new Urban slim fit broken in chino. So I thought I would humor him by trying them on, thinking “yea, sure… we’ll see just how slim”. Well I was definitely proven wrong, they fit great! that and they are crazy comfortable, so I was way happy to take them home.

I am also looking for a handsome new bag to go with my handsome new notebook, or should I say MacBook. I picked up my new 15″ MacBook Pro this weekend and I am waaay stoked to be writing my first post from my new MacBook. My old one wasn’t very old but the difference in color, speed, and performance is night and day, which makes it that much easier and efficient to do the things I normally do, plus with the 20 units I am taking this semester, it’ll be nice to stare into a big beautiful screen, since I’ll be doing it for hours on end I’m sure. Now back to the bag, I was on J.Crew.com last night (I’m obsessed, I know) and I decided to order this Artisian Leather Messenger. I guess the biggest adjustment is going from 13″ to 15″, 13 is a perfect size to lug around to classes and such, and while I love my new one I just hope I can find the right bag that will fit my Mac and and books/papers this semester.

If anyone has any recomendations for nice big totes/sling bags, please let me know!
