My good friend managed to get us concert tickets for Carrie Underwood in November. Oh My God…this is the best news I have received this month.  I am a big fan of Carrie Underwood since The American Idol days.  The concert will be held at the Air Canada Center and a group of us – 5 women will be going together.  It is going to be a blast.  Right after she told me about the tickets, the first thing that came to my mind was I have nothing wear to the concert.  I guess it is time for some retail therapy.  I am thinking of these few pieces from Anthopologie.  Nice?

I love big, slouchy hobo bags.  Actually I have been obsessing about them.  They are stylish and chic.  They are also a good and thoroughly practical companion. I find slouchy bags a worthy investment and is a great style for all seasons.   I saw a few nice ones at Target and I am still pondering which one to get for Fall.

Pink?  I remember owning a pair of pink pants during my teenage years back in the 80’s but not anymore.  Well, my girlfriend said she really likes it and the pink cord brings back cherished memories of our fun teenage years.  Perhaps I should get a pair for Fall too.  The pink cord looks great when paired with plain white tops.
