Rubie Down Under!

Photo: Patrick Cline for Real Living, March 2009

Hello and goodbye! I'm off to Australia for 2 weeks (wahoo!) to present at the Decoration + Design show in Sydney, so I thought I'd leave you with a bit of love from down under! I'm incredibly flattered and excited to be featured in this month's issue of Real Living, one of my absolute favorite Australian decorating magazines! I've picked up the perfect travel bag from the one and only Ladybird, (which has vegetable-dyed leather and a chic gold monogram for an additional $8 bucks!) so I'm ready to go ;)

Hopefully I'll be able to post some inspiration while I'm away, but if not, please check back on Valentine's Day for my latest Aussie finds, as well as an apartment tour of one of my favorite designers, Ron Marvin. G'day mates!

Yay! You will have a great time down here! Welcome to Aus land :-) Hope the conference goes well. It's nice and warm down here at the moment, so am sure be happy!

P.S. A great breakfast cafe you must try in Sydney is one called "Bills".

Would it be terribly tacky of me to ask how much the bag was? I love it and need to see if the hubby will spring for it!

XOXO

Michelle enjoy your travels and knock 'em dead!

I hope you are having a safe and wonderful trip!

MABELLE said...

Thanks guys! So glad you like the bag too :) And no Susan- not tacky at all! I totally should have posted the price to begin with! I think it was $143 + the $8 for monogramming, but just give Allison a quick call to confirm (her comment is above;) It's holding up perfectly well and it's Italian leather and beautiful :)

Thanks again for everything and I can't wait to post more when I return!!
Xo ma.

I know this post was months ago, but I just saw it... and love the bag. Any idea if it's still available? Is Ladybird still in biz? So cute. The monogram is perfect.
