Lookbook: Loving My iPad

Getting back from a long international trip is rough but getting back and having a cold on top of it is super rough!  I was feeling terrible but am finally getting better.  Good thing I took a lot of lookbooks before all my trips (I was in Jamaica before I went to China and Taiwan so I’ve been gone a really long time!) otherwise you’d have a lot of sickly, no make up, sitting in my jammies lookbooks and that’s not so pretty 😉

I had my iPad with me that day which is what I’m holding.  I got a quilted leather case for it which is great for traveling but my one complaint is that it doesn’t hold it very tightly so it kinda slips around when I’m trying to use it.  It does it’s job though so I’m keeping it until I find something I have to have.  And then when I was in China, I got a new very pretty but very impractical case!!  I love bling!  I couldn’t resist 🙂 And of course my iPhone got new covers as well.  Can’t leave them out you know? haha!  I didn’t really care when the iPad came out but once I played on my parents’ iPad (we got them the first generation one for them last Christmas) I thought it was pretty neat and then when iPad 2 came out I decided I NEEDED it.  I still don’t think it’s super necessary but I LOVE it.  I didn’t bring my laptop with me on my trip, just my iPad and it served it’s purpose just fine and was so much lighter than carrying my MacBook Pro with me.  One of my favorite things is reading magazine on my iPad!  I need to change all my subscriptions to digital subscriptions because I often have piles and piles of magazines just sitting around waiting to be read and it takes up so much room!  What about you?  have you given into the iPad craze yet?  What are your favorite apps? 

I got mine awhile ago so I can’t find anything similar but I love the color of this plaid cardi. This look could be done with different patterns and textures as well like with this crochet cardigan would be really pretty. You could also do stripes on stripes with this cardigan (which, btw, Patterson J Kincaid for $59! A really good deal!)

You can’t really go wrong with a striped tank! I own so many but I keep on buying more. How cute is this Kate Spade bow striped tank? Love this stripe ruffle tank too! The color of this heather gray/blue stripe tank and it’s on sale for $19.90!

I love skirts like these.  I like to wear them high waisted like I did here or something I roll down the waistband and wear it like a mini underneath flowy tops.  They are just so versatile!  Also, check out this adorable, on sale for $58.90!
