{ Structured Handbags }

A few of my favorite structured handbags:






These are just a few of my favorites that I had to share! I can not stop drooling over the beautiful structure and colors. Every woman should own a structured handbag, it shows professionalism.  I have my heart set on one of the beauties. What is your favorite structured handbag?

I recently came across a talented Sweden blogger and photographer on Instagram, Things You Remember. My eyes were suddenly held captive by the beautiful and feminine photos. Things You Remember captures gorgeous images of fashion, florals, still-life, food, fitness and destinations. When scrolling through her Instagram, it gives you an inspiring and uplifting feeling. I would highly recommend adding Things You Remember on Instagram and experience for yourself the beauty and elegance.

{My latest Twitter follower, Ms. Betsey Johnson!}


When I saw my notification for my latest new Twitter follower, I was excited to see one of my favorite designers. The creative and talented, Betsey Johnson.  While attending school at Kent State University for Fashion Merchandising, my projects consisted of the talented and energetic designer. Betsey Johnson is a burst of energy which reflects in her fun, colorful and eccentric collections. 

I am very excited to see her new stationary collection at Michaels craft stores! The collection is filled with her iconic florals and bright colors. I can not wait to indulge and buy new stationary pens, notepads, drinking containers and iPhone covers. Be sure to check out Betsey's new collection at Michaels Stores and snag yourself a colorful new style! 


At Michaels Stores now!





My Senior Seminar Betsey Johnson project! Over 300 pages of Betsey Johnson history, style, mood boards, and product development ideas.




It was a very long and time worthy project to work on, however, it was very interesting to learn about the company and Ms. Johnson herself. I liked being able to develop and create a collection that geared toward her fans.

New Years Eve 2014

It is hard to believe another year has come and gone. However, a new year brings hope, dreams and goals. I am thankful 2013 was a year full of traveling, meeting new people, and creating more memories with family, friends and my boyfriend. The new year is a clear slate for goal settings, new adventures and a hopeful and prosperous career. Time seems to go by so fast each year and it encourages me to start thinking more into my future. I begin to think, what are my plans and what do I want out of life? 2014, is my year to prosper and gain positivity. Life is to short for the would have, could have, should have. Stop making excuses and just do things! Start the year right with new resolutions and goals to achieve. Leave 2013 in the past and don't look back. Be hopeful for what your future has in store for you. When the clock strikes 12 what will you be hopeful for?

Xx,
Christine
