Today's Obsession: Pan Am

Remember that super-epic 2002 movie "Catch Me If You Can," complete with 60's hairdos, sexy airplane pilots, and a handsome post-Titanic Leo DiCaprio? Well the true story of Frank Abagnale, Jr. was converted into a musical and premiered in Seattle in 2009.

A week from today, the show hits Broadway. Check out all the in-depth details (because I confess I don't know them) at this Broadway.com article.

Somewhat on topic, today's obsession are these bags from Pan Am. No, Pan Am Air doesn't exist anymore, but they still sell all their super retro-esque goodies for the old-fashioned freaks like me who walk around wearing a logo older than my parents. I got my first Pan Am bag for my 16th birthday and still have the thing. It's a little beat up now, but that only makes it look more authentic.

Marc Jacobs co-sponsored a couple re-releases of classic bags, but many can be found online at Panamone.com. They have classic designs, newer designer-looking (and less authentic. Not a fan) designs and other travel accessories like passport covers and clothes. I especially like their Mile High watch. Obsessed.

Today's Obsession: Marc Jacobs

A co-worker and friend walked by yesterday and got me hungrily smelling a perfume sample in the March issue of Marie Claire (which is looking FABULOUS! It should be out in the next few weeks). She laughed that I looked guilty--and why wouldn't I when I was basically getting high in the office?

Today's obsession is this perfume. I've been wearing Marc Jacobs Daisy for a while and lovelovelove the scent, but this one is absolutely exceptional. Given the topic of Spring Cleaning, this "eau so fresh" perfume seems more than appropriate. As Sephora says, "this scent is more fruity, more bubbly, more fun! Open the bottle and you'll be transported to a field of sunshine that bursts with the flirty scent of flowers and the cheerful sweetness of fruits." It smells so similar to Daisy, but packs a little extra summery punch :) Obsessed.
