This killer (and affordable!) rug to be exact. I made myself a carpet bag because A. I think carpet bags are dope, and B. Every year I end up toting my Holiday gifts to gatherings in disposable plastic bags, and every year I think what a shame it is that the gifts I spent so much time wrapping up with pretty paper and ribbon make their way to their intended giftee in a lack luster plastic grocery bag. No more! Not this year. I saw this Nate Berkus rug at Target, instantly loved the pattern, and knew it would make a great carpet bag. I had fun with this project because since you don’t cut the rug edges, there are no raveling yarns to wrastle with. Just hand sew up the sides, add a handle and boom. Done! Scoot over to SheKnows for the full tutorial and tote your gifts in style this year! Follow

I LOVE making things, but now that the weather is warming up, I just want to get outside and explore Minneapolis. We moved to the North Loop in October last year, just as Winter was also moving in, so I’m excited to explore the Neighborhood in all its warm-weather glory. On Saturday we moseyed over to the Farmer’s Market, so I’m sharing my spring style weekend wear with you guys. I hope you had a fantastic weekend–they always go too fast, don’t they? First and foremost, I’m really digging espadrilles for spring and summer. Often I don’t like ankle ties because they can cut into your ankles, but the ties on these babies (find them here!) are a twill cotton and they’re actually quite comfortable, so they’re great for strolling around the farmer’s market. If your mission is to stock up on fresh, local produce for the week, then a big bag to corral it all is essential. Otherwise, the vendors give you plastic bags for each […]
