No, I haven't disappeared off the face of the earth ...

... but it sure does seem like it. No more apologies from me, though. Blogging isn't (and shouldn't be) the most important thing in life right now. But thanks for sticking with me anyway, friends!

Now on to the good stuff.

If you've been following me for any length of time at all, you know I'll be headed off to sunny California for Coachella in a little over a week from today. This is about the time before any sort of trip where I start stressing about what to wear. Yes, this is usually the most important part of my planning (since the plane/concert tickets were purchased long ago). So I did a little playing around on Polyvore, and I came up with some inspiration for pieces to pack in my bag (I'm forcing myself to pack lightly!). Oh, and in case it doesn't go without saying, I don't actually own any of these pieces (except for the sunglasses, which I LOVE), I just love their style.

On a similar note ... does anyone have any feelings about belt bags? I have this one from Target's Hollywood Intuition line they did several months back. I've carried it as a clutch, but never as a belt bag. I bought a nice North Face cross-body bag for Coachella, but it might be better suited for hiking and camping.
