Statuesque

Two of my friends from WA are visiting so we took a couple hours to walk around the National Mall. Per usj, swarms of people were also out and about (some local, some tourist). Among the black, white, and concrete buildings, there stood this giant mass. This is how I captured it.

Clutch Moments

You know how it is when you're running out of the door for a girls' night out or date night with your boo, and you need to swap out your workday tote for a small, chic clutch. Sometimes this seemingly simple task can be a nightmare. That's why I recommend always having a go-to prepared. One you know you can fit your gloss, keys, i.d., cash, cards, and don't forget...your phone!

This clutch let's me carry all of these necessities without distorting its structure. Don't worry! I've found some options for you so that you can have a smooth transition and fashionably fun night out, too! Check here, here, and here for great options at a great price.

Have a beautiful Saturday (and night)!

[ Arrowhead ]

Never underestimate what you might find on the clearance rack. That's where I found this skirt during one of our NYC shopping days this past May. Guess how much... 7 bucks! Yup, it must have been a lonesome piece or some poor misguided girl who shares my size returned it. Whatever, the circumstance, my keen eye found this faux leather snake skin skirt and the rest is history.

[ Mail Call ]

I love receiving good ol' fashion snail mail. From the choice of paper card, handmade or store bought, to the message that could be as simple as: "I miss you." --everything about it makes me happy.

Trance by JustFab

My envelope clutch from JustFab makes me happy, too. It's electric like all of my other spring fashion favorites. [Remember my electric blue blazer?] Even more, the ability to pair it with outfits seems endless. I'd list all of the color combos, but I gather you are already familiar with the rainbow.

I encourage you to electrify both your wardrobe and your communication. Has someone been on your mind lately? Pop a note of love in the mail to them this weekend. It'll make their day. Promise.
