Is it just me, or is everyone on a continuous search for the perfect white handbag? While my closet boasts a few gems in terms of summery purses, i’m always looking for the next best thing. Here are my top 3:

  1. The Everyday One

On sale for $99 from Rebecca Minkoff

This bag screams Miami summer. Even if you’re sitting at a desk instead of sipping a frozen cocktail, this bag is a perfect addition to your summer wardrobe. It’s the kind of throw-everything-inside-&-go bag that I love.




2. The Beachy One

On sale for $19 (yes, you read that right!) from Urban Outfitters

Ah, another great bag for the perpetually late girl. This one pairs well with a good novel, sun, & sand. Did I mention it’s under twenty bucks?




3. The Fancy One

Included in the New York Magazine x Marc Jacobs collection.  $450

What’s a summer vacation without a little splurge? This dreamy tote from Marc Jacobs is on my goals board for 2019. It’s perfect for the office, the airport & even date night.

Vintage Vegas (& other summer-inspired looks)

June 7, 2019 Ann Lillian Serral

It’s 90 degrees in South Carolina. Last weekend, I was in Las Vegas. It was 90 degrees.

When I think about Vegas clothes, I think about blingy, loud, campy outfits that speak for themselves. Vegas style embraces grandeur from both the past & present. It celebrates the weird and shocking designs that turn heads. However, I think the Vegas vibe can be adopted almost anywhere, from the pool to the cocktail bar, even all the way to the grocery store.

If you’re like me & can’t seem to escape the heat, take a look at these summer outfits:
