Pond Los Angeles makes luxury leather bags and accessories at fair prices for the modern woman. It uses the same high-end materials as the haute couture brands without the latter's excessive markups. The independent retailer focuses on innovative design, expert craftsmanship, and attention to detail, all the features we want without the shocking markup! It's a label for consumers who want timeless well-made essentials but can't justify spending thousands of dollars more for a status name.
Carry the tote by its handles, use it as a shoulder or crossover bag, or transform its straps into a backpack. Additionally, at the airport, the shoulder straps can convert into luggage straps using a built-in converter.

Although red wine is my alcoholic beverage of choice, I only drink a glass occasionally if I host a dinner or join friends at a restaurant. The exception is during the summer, I will sometimes have a glass of wine with a cheese and fruit platter as Sunday dinner. Unfortunately, as we grow older we have to watch our calories, and I'd rather eat than drink.
But when I do have a glass of wine, I enjoy it. I tend to drink Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, or Melbac and I try to avoid wines too rich in tannins - organic substances in grape skins and seeds that can make wine taste bitter or acidic, perhaps also described as sharp or bold. The tannins in wine give it health benefits, but if you don't enjoy the wine, what's the point of consuming it?Another consideration, a bolder wine tastes delicious paired with heavy food such as a big thick steak, while lighter wines, sometimes called drinking wines, are perfect with appetizers.🧀
The above Wine Boldness Chart by Wine Folly is a handy-dandy guide when selecting wine. In my decades of life, I've tasted at least 9 on the chart ... plus whatever mystery wines I've sampled at wine tastings and can't remember.
I hope you find the chart useful!🍷
The following are cute dresses from J. Crew Factory, the same quality as in the J Crew retail stores:
J. Crew Factory is less pricey than J. Crew's retail stores. The factory offers discounts along with special promotions as high as 50% off. It also carries stylish accessories to complete the look. Although the footwear is adorable it tends to lack arch support, which is ok for the suburbs, but not for walking miles on city blocks.
Once again we celebrate hope, optimism, and human perseverance.

Every year there's a new cycle of life. Welcome to the world little lamb. My lovely Readers make the most of your time here on earth!
A flashback photo of my mom and me on Easter Sunday. Dad was taking the picture. Unlike Christmas or Thanksgiving, it was the one holiday we sometimes treated ourselves to eating out and after our dinner hobnobbing around town.
Portland Leather goods are designed to be simple, durable, and affordable. It's genuine leather people don't have to save 6 months of salary to buy! The inventory is understated and basic, yet well-crafted and pragmatic. In your possession, the well-priced pieces will endure for decades.
My favorite articles are the backpacks, totes, and Chelsea boots. A selection of small leather goods (again note, they're real leather, not synthetic!) is a good value even before applying a 25% discount code or perusing the Amost Perfect Sales section.
Alas, I've now joined the sensible shoes set!
