THE WEAVED bag

I love a good handbag. Besides a great pair of shoes, a handbag can really make a look. 

For this spring and summer I'm loving these weaved bags. I wouldn't call it a 'trend' since Jane Birkin was carrying a weaved wicker basket as a handbag since 1981, before the Birkin bag existed.

There are so many types in shape, size, color, texture...the options are endless! Also, unless it's this insane Balenciaga - they are normally at a very good price point for a handbag. A great piece to add into your wardrobe this season. 

My favorite is this stunning Eugenia Kim with a gorgeous top handle, and this colorful Striped Sophie Anderson bag with a cute lid.

Weekend Looks | Jeans + White Shirt, c'est chic.

I'm all about a 'go-to' look for every woman. I switch between two separate looks. Black skinny jeans, a black tee and weather dependent, a black leather jacket OR a white button down, and high-rise medium washed skinny jeans. These are my outfits when my brain just doesn't want to put a 'look' together. I know I will be comfortable in it and it's easy to switch up between the two. Currently, I've been wearing more of the white shirt and skinnies look since it's still too hot in Chicago to wear consistently all black.

Brilliant to find a look that is 'yours' for those days when you just don't have the time but need to show up in, ya know....clothes.
