Essentials















Hooray! Today was my turn with our AMAZING giveaway win, care of LemonCrate. Check out their sweepstakes page, too! As KW mentioned in the last post, this pouch by Rebecca Minkoff is an incredibly chic addition to our personal effects. It has a perfect weight to it, darling internal polka-dotted fabric and my goodness, it even smells good! This cheetah-print, leather pouch was the perfect size to hold all my near-and-dears, including my Burt's Bees tinted lip balm, a package of two Colgate wisps, my check-book sized grocery list journal, my phone and a Worry Doll given to me by KW. I decided to try some layering this morning with the goal being to change up the look of my basic grey dress. It's pretty fun to mix and match your essential pieces together to create an outfit you didn't even know was in your closet! And it certainly doesn't hurt to have just won a beautiful designer bag. 

Black Button-Up: Old Navy

Moonstone Ring: gift from my mom years ago

  3. It's really an adorable bag! And I love the animal print with this classic and neutral outfit. It really polishes it off. It's the sort of bag that would go with anything. And adorable photos!
