* A few notes about the photo (because some of you have asked ;-) -- The black and gold ball necklace is from UO, and the big gold necklace was an anniversary gift from hubby, sadly I don't think either one are available anymore. The croc clutch is clare vivier... + suann made me some incredibly lovely letterpress business cards (sitting on top of the clutch.)After much consternation, I am (finally) all packed for Alt...I'm a bit of an obsessive packer, laying everything out on my bed before it goes into the suitcase.
Does anyone else do this?
Since I'll be in Utah at the aforementioned Alt (so excited), I'll (sadly) miss my friend Christine's party this Friday at Little Bean to show off Sarah Tippetts' gorgeous new window installation...There will be champagne and cupcakes + she's donating 10% of all sales to the Red Cross' efforts in Haiti. Definitely plan on stopping by if you can, as Little Bean parties are the best!
I'm drooling over Christine's Baby Bean Spring collection...so lovely!

ooh, i think you need to share the origin of some of those pretties! love the two gold necklaces and the croc-print pouch especially!
I also do that and often make a systematic chart on my computer so that I don't forget anything and maximize space... I also do it because I have OCD tendencies...
Have a lovely time!
I don't do that and that's something I should do actually. It's a nice way to see what you need and don't need. Have a wonderful time in Utah!!
oh you got your CV clutch! I love packing when there are a couple new goodies in my bag.
I go a step further--I try on all my outfits before I pack them!
I second the comment about the gold necklaces, they are beautiful! where did you purchase them?
YES! Spill the beans on that gold layered goodness!
Oh, and have a blast!
have so much fun at the conference!
Happy packing!!!! xx

I hate packing to go away. I never seem to get it right. I always have "Why did I pack this?" "Why didn't I bring _____?" moments. I always missing having all my clothes at my disposal. Feels so good to get home :)
I wish I had daughters. They would have the entire Baby Bean collection. It's all SO cute!
Hope you have a great trip :D
I see you've packed "Comfort Me With Apples" - I love Ruth Reichl. Have you read "Tender at the Bone"? Sooo good. Hope you have a great time at Alt!

I must lay my clothes out while packing. It is so much easier when I can visualize what I will have to wear on my trip. Now my husband does it too...I must be rubbing off on him.
Loving what you packed too! Clare Vivier's bag is gorgeous!
Love those little clothes. In fact, I wish they were my size! Hope you have a great trip
Have fun at Alt, I wish I was going!

Not only do I also lay out my clothes on my bed before packing them away, I had no idea it was obsessive behavior... so at least you've got your self-awareness! Haha.

I just have to say I had a HUGE case of bag envy when I saw your Clare Vivier clutch. So much so I immediately purchased one online. It has just arrived and ...swoon! Thanks ever so much for the info - it's gorgeously perfect!
Elsa May...isn't it fantastic! I love her bags.
