Chia and I were out shopping yesterday and came across this handbag.

Il volpino is what the Italians call a Pomeranian. Chia thinks this is the most beautiful bag she has ever seen….

I prefer this navy/teal suede bag with python trim that has a very subtle dog pattern.

Sadly, this bag will not go with my new shearling, and the handmade boots I just ordered. I love the bag, but must try to be a bit practical…

Starting to get dark early here in Florence, and on Sunday we turn the clocks back an hour. Still in the mid 70″s during the day, and I am soaking up as much sun as I can before I return to rainy Seattle next month!
