It's All In The Clutch!

When you're tired of lugging around your large, everything can fit in, bag on an everyday basis

,opt for a classic and dainty clutch that you can confidently carry around with you everywhere that you go. What I enjoy about a clutch is its ease of use, versatility and the abundance of styles in comes in. From day time to evening, snazzy to casual, there is indeed a clutch for it all. The biggest trend for the season are oversized, envelope designed clutches which you can find at affordable stores such as ASOS, Topshop, Forever21 and Etsy to name a few.       

Grab that clutch and head off to your runway of life!

Wear Your Confidence!

We've probably all seen it before; the woman who walks with her head high, shoulders back, with a pep in her step, and a radiant smile that could light up the entire town! Every woman should find that assurance in who they are no matter where they are or who they're with or in how dressed down or dressed up they may feel. There is something about being comfortable in one's own skin that can make almost any outfit become a sure winner! Beauty is indeed a combination of many factors including what we wear but moreso in how we see ourselves.

Always remember...you are beautiful!
