Better Together

I’m feeling a craving for a few more ladylike accessories this spring. I love that the dusty rose hue makes the clutch feel feminine without being girly, now if I only had telephone messages to jot down on that lovely notepad. Have you noticed between single user cellphones, voicemail, and the increasing lack of landlines one just doesn’t need to take a message anymore? Maybe I’ll use it to jot down little love notes, grocery lists, perhaps the odd “honey-do” project request…

Sparkly Union Jack

A chic outfit that manages to be comfortable, airy, and slouchy while avoiding the dreaded sloppy factor. What’s not to love? Add a touch of polka dots, a fun heel, and some patriotic sparkles for a perfect summer weekend look! Is anyone else also completely smitten with this girl’s fantastic hair? The perfect messy curl I am always trying to master.

Small Dose ~ Lime

As refreshing as the fruit itself, a little shot of lime is sure to put a spring in your step! How perfect is this seagrass handbag? I adore that touch of neon on such a classic shape, perfect for brightening up these overcast spring days.

Clearly

I know the Charlotte Olympia Pandora Plexiglas Clutch is a bit too pricey to use as a makeup bag, but I am still obsessed with the idea. Wouldn’t it be fantastic to be able to see everything without digging around in a dark little pouch? Not to mention I could finally stop worrying that the contents are getting squished (and exploding everywhere) while I kick my carry-on under the seat in front of me! If anyone has found a more wallet friendly version do let us know, my cracked eyeliner (see aforementioned kicking incident) and I would be eternally grateful.
