Thought you could get rid of me, huh? Well, ha! You couldn't even if you tried. I'm back and looking better than ever (the blog that is. I could use some smoothing around the edges ;-) So what do we think of the re-design, folks? Do tell!

Should we talk about bags? Yes, please! I've been dying to talk about them, but the well has been dry for some time. It's the inevitable consequence of that transition period between seasons. Slowly but surely, more and more pre-fall bags are beginning to make their way onto the web, but I'm all about summer bags right now. In fact, I've been looking for a good sized Clutch perfect for those outdoor summer occasions that always come up, and this affordable Elaine Turner Sierra Clutch is just the ticket.

An "everyday" clutch with ample (but not enormous) proportions can be tricky to find, but the internet never fails to yield great results. The 'Sierra' measures a comfy 6 x 9 x 1.25, large enough to house a wallet, keys, lipstick and cell phone. The creamy light gold leather exterior has a pebbled texture that gives the 'Sierra' a casual feel while the bamboo-style hinged closure gives it a tropical look. Of course, my favorite elements are the framed top and pleated front, but I'm traditional that way. You know that.
