Hi everyone! I’ve been running around like a crazy person today because we are leaving for Paris tomorrow! I have never been to France but it’s always been on my bucket list of places to travel, so I have to pinch myself that this time tomorrow, I’ll actually be there (hopefully sipping on some rosé!)
The handbag designers at Brahmin are masters at creating perfectly-sized shoulder/crossbody bags, and they’ve done it again with this new style for summer, the ‘Carrie.’ For the small size, it’s surprising how roomy this little bag is: my wallet, a small cosmetics case, and sunglasses all fit comfortably inside with a bit of room to spare. The neutral linen color goes with just about everything (I love the subtle hint of shimmer in the leather). I’ll definitely be packing this beauty for France!
Memorial Day is approaching and so is the first round of summer sales, including the half-yearly one from my favorite retailer, Nordstrom—I rounded up my favorite picks below. I hope all of you in the States enjoy the long holiday weekend and I will be back with a new post on Tuesday. Don’t forget to follow me on Instagram @meagansmoda to see what I’m up to while we are in France!
- Vest (J. Crew–last year; similar here and here)
