Pay it forward update: With such a lovely weekend behind me I am full steam ahead. And part of that might have to do with the fact that I know it’s a 3.5 day work week for me because we are heading out west Thursday for my cousin’s wedding. You already know my love for my parent’s home town, Hays, Kansas – so it comes as no surprise that I am super excited about our impending excursion.

And if that wasn’t enough, I got the call this weekend that my new iPhone was in and that I could come pick it up – which I did this evening.

Out with the old, in with the new.

Now that I’ve got the goods I need to get some sweet packaging for it a.k.a. a fabulous case. Here are a few I have my eye on:

Kate Spade, Le Pavillion iPhone 4 Case, $40

Jonathan Adler, Scales Pink Multi iPhone Case, $28

Petunia Pickle, Majestic Murano iPhone Case, $38

Le Papier Studio, Monogram Cell Phone Cases - Chevron, $42
