Quilted handbags have been around for quite awhile and are the perfect timeless style to include in your handbag collection. The beauty about quilted bags is that they can be worn with anything from an evening dress to a t-shirt and ripped jeans. Every designer has their own take on the quilted bag with Chanel being the most recognized. Just in case you’ve been living under a rock- you can’t get your hands on a Chanel bag for less than $1500 and that’s the LOW END. That brings me to the entire point of this post; Most people would love a Chanel bag yet most people could never afford one- and there aren’t too many great options for a well made quilted bag without going bankrupt in the process… UNTIL NOW- Rebecca Minkoff has outdone herself with the Quilted Love Bag!!! These bags are so well made and are priced at $295 for the standard size and $195 for the mini. Not exactly cheap but totally doable!!! They look and feel like a million bucks and are available in an array of colors and hardware options. I have one in the standard size. I love it and highly recommend it!
The Quilted Love bag can be worn with the chain long for cross body wear, with the chain doubled for shoulder wear or worn without the chain as a clutch! Who doesn’t love options??!!!! I also love how these bags have an outside pocket for phone or keys!
If you don’t already own a camel coat- You NEED this camel coat! Really! This is the cutest camel coat ever!!!! I’ve been getting a ton of inquiries about my camel coat that I’ve been wearing lately.
It is by DKNY and sold out pretty quickly HOWEVER there are plenty of camel coats out there and I thought I’d share this super cute style with you. The belt can be worn around the waist or tied in a bow in the back!!!! Did I mention that it’s less than $70?!

If you follow me on Instagram, you already know that I can’t get enough of my $17 oversized plaid blanket scarf. I am not alone when it comes to the obsession- these scarves are everywhere! I wear mine with everything and it’s perfect with or without a jacket as well. Lately I’ve been pretty into capes and ponchos as well and have found three that are budget friendly and super cute to share with ya’ll.
Happy shopping!
How cute is this heart trench coat???!!!! It is so perfect for Fall. I HEART IT so much!
Heart trench coat available HERE and it’s on SALE for less than $50!!!!

Week two of the month-long fashion frenzy around the globe is wrapping up and I have some favorites to share.
I was asked to explain fashion week by quite a few people, so here it goes…….Fashion “month” occurs twice a year and is a showcase of designers Spring/Summer collections and Fall/Winter collections. These collections are shown in advance giving buyers time to fill orders and stock up just in time for the season. For example, right now it’s Fall and the designers are showing their upcoming Spring/Summer collection, and during Spring, designers showcase their fall/winter collections. Notice I said fashion MONTH earlier- that is because fashion week takes place over four consecutive weeks in four different countries, totaling a month of FUN! Is there an order? YES fashion week starts in New york, then jumps across the pond to London, followed by Milan and ending in Paris! There you have it fashion week/month summed up.
There are also other smaller scale fashion weeks across the globe, but the four countries listed are the main players in the fashion game!
Let’s get to my London fashion week faves!
Colorful catwalks and plenty of prints at Burberry and House of Holland.
Glittery Glam rock at Tom Ford.
Sporty 60’s with a nautical twist at Topshop.
