Fashion Friday and New Blog Design!!!


Sorry for the delay in getting the Fashion Friday post up, but I've been working with my fabulous blog designer, Stephanie of Dirt and Lace Blog Design to revamp my baby!  I hope you love the new look.  It's perfect and just what I was looking for.  If the artwork looks familiar, that might be because the fabulous Inslee Haynes created the image and the watercolor text for me!  Isn't she talented?  I've been so excited to share the new look with you all!

With the new look, I've created a new button for Fashion Friday, so hopefully you will add the fabulous new design to this week's Fashion Friday post.  You can see it below in this post or on my sidebar.

This week I'm loving all the gorgeous clutch bags out there.  It's hard for me to condense everything I own into a small clutch bag, but they look so chic, that sometimes you just have to leave some junk at home!  Here are a few of my favorites.



Rachel Zoe

Tory Burch

 
Diane Von Furstenberg

Kate Spade

Marc Jacobs

Kate Spade

House of Harlow
