I am currently looking at purchasing a designer bag and wanted to do a little research on affordable models of the most coveted brands. So I have gone through and found a variety of different sized bags so there is something for everyone, and to show that if you are thinking of getting a designer bag, there are many options well under $1000. Perfect for someone saving for their first bag, or just looking for luxury without the steep steep price tag. Enjoy! (hover over each bag, and click on it to shop!)
Sometimes purchasing a LBD or “little black dress” can be for a special occasion, or just to add that staple piece to your wardrobe, but somehow it ends up in the back of your closet because you haven’t had that “special occasion” come up for you to wear it to. Here I have accessorized a little black dress in an everyday appropriate style so that you can really get your use out of this piece.
First of all, I love how this dress has a collar and button placket. It adds such an interesting and structured feel to the dress. Not to mention it also has pockets so its functional! I love a good dress with pockets, and am usually sold as soon as I notice that feature is included.
So to style this dress in a casual way, I paired it with flats. Flats are comfortable and in my opinion, take away any “sexy vibes” a little black dress can create. To further my trend with the flats, I added a matching mohair cheetah print belt. By matching the accessories, which are printed, draws the eye away from the dress itself and to the details. Personally I love cheetah print. It is so fun and fierce! And the flats with that exaggerated flower just adds a touch of cuteness!
The fun thing about LBD’s is you can accessorize them so many different ways that one dress can seem like 5! Possibilities are limitless with this blank canvas, you just have to buy the right silhouette and style that is best for you. So bring you special dress out of the closet and give it a twirl, everyday can be a special day!

Olive is totally one of my favorite colors…pretty much all year around. It blends easily with a variety of colors palettes, especially during fall, and can make such a statement!
Today I decided to dress up my faux suede olive heels with a gorgeous white vest from ABS by Allen Schwartz. It is lightweight, fully lined, and offered in a gorgeous white. I love the split side accents and the tunic length!
Since I accessorized the vest with suede heels, I wanted to add a casual touch to these otherwise two dressy pieces, by pairing with khaki ankle pants and a basic olive cami.
This is such a fun and chic ensemble for work, or a day out on the town. To really add interest, I decided to finish the look with my striped Henri Bendel convertible bag.
I hope everyone is having a terrific day and amazing week!
Until next time! <3
