Beautiful Finds in D.C.

/in , /by

Bonjour everyone! It’s the end of the week (finally) and I am looking forward to our 70-degree weather that has been predicted for our weekend here! Yay! I have gone out to my front yard to see if there is any sign of life and my peonies are coming up!

So excited! I hope I get some great blooms this year. This will be my first year growing my very own peonies. I will update you guys on the process as things come along. Well, today I thought I would share some beautiful and elegant pieces that I purchased while on my way to D.C. last week.

I wanted to make sure that everyone had a chance to purchase these before they sold out.

First, on my list are these beautiful and sophisticated bow slingback pumps in silver sky. These are gorgeous shoes and will go with just about anything. They also come in a deep sea teal.
Another chic item that I had to purchase was this elegant boatneck top. It comes in three other colors and is only $14.99 right now. I would order this quick! 
The last two items that I wanted to share was this beautiful fireball illusion necklace in rose gold. It comes in two other colors and this ruffle trim top in winter white. These are great pieces that are very versatile and lovely. If you are like me you would wear these with skirts. But I could even see these worn with a pair of jeans. I think both tops would look lovely with a pair of jeans and the necklace. Even the pumps would add a feminine look to a casual outfit. 
Well, I hope that you enjoyed these finds and I look forward to sharing some beautiful photos next week of all of the enchanting cherry blossoms trees that I got to bask in. 
Enjoy!!

The Classic Quilted Handbag

/4 Comments/in , /by

I have returned home from Washington and it was a great! I enjoyed all of the sights and I really loved the cherry blossoms! I still can’t believe that I got to see them! It was like a dream….

I look forward to sharing my trip on the blog. But I wanted to address something here just for a moment. You know….. I hate it when porn websites visit my blog. It is the most disgusting thing to see… porn sights show up on your blog reports. Yes, we see you sick people visiting our blogs. GO AWAY! I don’t know why you people are visiting my blog. I am working on getting you banned from my blog. It is really ridiculous!

It’s makes you wonder why they are visiting. Are you trying to steal my photos and use them on your sight and pretend you are me so that you can steal money from other people? I would not be surprised if that were the case. I am so glad that my office is prosecuting people like this. Just gets on my nerves.

Well let’s move on….

My very good friend Mrs. Shery shared this wonderful find with me. This is called the Ainifeel Women’s Quilted Handbag and it is gorgeous!

It has the double flap just like the Chanel one. 
The inside has a lot of room, pockets, and lots of compartments. 

No detail was overlooked. 
I watched multiple YouTube videos on this handbag and I would encourage you to do the same before you purchase. The outside is made of real leather and the chains are very comfortable. I carried this for an entire day during our Capital tour and it gave me NO problems. I just received lots of stares. 

The chain can be converted to go longer or you can carry it with the double chain if you like. The bag weighs about 3 lbs. before you fill it so just be aware of that. If you are used to carrying big bags then this should not be a problem. 
It is quite beautiful. My friend said that it reminded her of the Chanel 2.55 handbag from 1955.
I would have to agree. Wow…. I was really surprise to see this myself. It makes me feel even better about buying it. 
It was packed really well and came with a dust bag. Very nice!
This is me with my dream Chanel bag about 2 years ago. Of course I did not purchase it because it was $4,000! My husband looked at me and just shook his head. I know… but I just wanted to carry it. If only for a few seconds. 
But I have to say that my Ainifeel is pretty close and I do like the way it looks. 
When you click on the link above, you will notice that there are more colors and different size options. Like this beautiful Ainifeel bag. I know…. it’s great isn’t it? I found the fellow blogger’s website here if you wish to read about this handbag. 
Well I hope that you enjoyed this post and this beautiful find. I always love finding classically inspired pieces for a great price! Enjoy!!!

My Floral Tote

/in , /by

Sorry for the no-post on Friday. We had a “wind warning” here in Indy on Friday and it was bad. So we all had issues with internet service. It was not a huge shock as we always have Jekyll and Hyde weather here. Last week I wrote a post about Floral Totes by Ted Baker and in particular, I was dreaming about the first one.

The Cecie Chatsworth which is now sold out was my favorite. I wonder if any of my readers were able to get their hands on it? I am curious? I don’t get a commission for any of my finds yet but I am hoping to get some sponsors in the near future. 
I was so happy to receive this last week. It is stunning! It is such a beautiful bag, you guys! Very spacious, it has plenty of room for everything. 
Love the lettering in gold, so chic. 
The pouch inside was just as beautiful as the tote itself. What a splendid buy!
I adore how the floral design continues around the entire bag. It’s wonderful!
I hope that at least one of you was able to order this beauty. The price was outstanding! I could not pass it up and I carried it for about 3 days last week and received plenty of stares. It is a show stopper for sure. I hope that you enjoyed this post and were able to pick up one yourself. Happy Monday!

The Lavender Sweater

/2 Comments/in , /by

Hello All, 
I just wanted to share a quick little post today about this lovely sweater that I picked up at H&M a few weeks ago.

It is a basic knit sweater in this beautiful light purple. I call it lavender and it is just lovely.
I’ve worn it with my brooch and pearls. 
It is very comfortable and affordable. 
It’s perfect for those chilly spring days.

The material is nice and thick. I have gotten so many compliments on this sweater. Everyone loves the color and the shape of it. 
I hope that you enjoyed this wonderful little spring find and enjoy your Wednesday! Thanks for reading!

Monique Lhuiller Rose Cosmetic Bag

/4 Comments/in , /by

It’s Friday and I am ready for a long weekend. I hope all of you had a wonderful Valentine’s Day! I shared on my Instagram account my double rose bouquet that I received from my husband. I was so surprised to receive it! You could smell them down the hall. It was amazing!

I also got another surprise too. My Monique Lhuillier floral cosmetic bag arrived yesterday!

I actually ordered it the first week of February but was told that there was a long back order list and that they were not sure if it would be sent. I called earlier this week and was finally told that my bag would be in the first shipment and that I should receive my order. 
It finally arrived yesterday and I could not be more excited! It is lovely!
It is a very large cosmetic bag and had these tags on the inside. You can just rip them out once you receive it. 
Love the Monique Lhuillier tag on the inside. It is very chic!
A small pocket is located on the inside too. 

Also love the gold hardware. It looks so classic! 
I put my items in asap! I can’t wait to use it this spring and summer. It looks so feminine and chic. Also, here is a photo of my gorgeous Valentine’s Day roses. I just love this picture. I hope that you all enjoy your weekend and thanks for reading!

Winter Blush Pump

/2 Comments/in , /by

If I had a flag it would probably be blush because I can’t seem to stay away from this color. I love it so much and whenever I see it I just have to buy it. The next lovely blush item that I found were these great classic pumps from the Gap.

This is the classic suede pump in dusty rose pink. It also comes in true black. Better hurry quick and order a pair. They are going fast!
I love the pointed toe and the 3-inch heel. They truly are classic!
I hope that you can grab a pair soon. The dusty rose color is selling pretty fast and at $31.99 I would not be surprised if they sold out this week! It is truly a beautiful staple item to have in your wardrobe. 
As always I hope that you enjoyed this post and Happy Hump Day!

The Winged Tote

/2 Comments/in , /by

I am so thrilled to share with everyone today this great tote that I found at Target. It is called the winged tote handbag and I actually found it walking around my local store. I saw it in the navy and I thought, “I wonder if they have this in a different color.” So I checked online and they had three other colors.

The color that I ordered is called blush of course and it is so pretty in person! I was a little apprehensive about the snake print handles but they look great! 
The size is great and there is PLENTY of room!
Gold “feet” on the bottom, wonderful feature. 
It looks like it’s double the size of my other blush tote. Both look so chic together by the way. 
This is a wonderful tote if you are looking for something that is large, classic and elegant. This could be a wonderful work bag for anyone and make sure that you check out those other colors too! Enjoy!
