BB2013-30

I honestly live for a good handbag! When, I received this Olivia + Joy bag at Lucky Fabb, I already knew we would be best friends! She’s just so pretty and magical. Not only that she is such a conversation piece and you guys know how I feel about conversation pieces! I literally wear her everywhere from Church to hanging out with my girls.

Even though it’s not a super expensive bag it is a quality bag, showing women that a good bag doesn’t have to cost thousands of … Read More

As Chicago starts to heat up, I find myself wanting to wear less and less clothes! I know I’m not the only one! I went out for a last-minute dinner and I threw this on real quick.
