{shopping: billykirk carryalls}

. . . one of the best things about springtime, besides the impossibly lovely blossoming trees, is that it leads to summer, and summer is where the heart belongs -- the luxurious, hazy sunshine, the long, sultry nights, and most of all, the romantic weekends away; and despite best intentions, have the most difficult time traveling light and so, always looking for new carryalls -- a current favourite is this waxed cotton & oiled leather no. 165 medium carryall, perfect for all the extra little things that couldn't possibly fit into the three bags already packed . . .
