Happy Monday, my friends!
Are weekends ever not busy? Mine was busy as usual but thankfully it was mostly fun. The best part was the beautiful sunny weather we had until it was abruptly interrupted by a major thunderstorm, a dramatic finale to a beautiful weekend.
The important thing is that I got to squeeze in this photo shoot because I couldn’t wait for you to see this beautiful bag that was sent to me by Jordana Paige. As soon as I set my eyes on this Cora bag, I fell in love with the serenely understated shade of lavender. I also immediately thought of the perfect summer dress to wear with it.
I couldn’t wait to style it with a Club Monaco dress that I had purchased a while back but never got a chance to wear. The geometric print of the dress and its architectural design along with the structured yet feminine Cora bag really didn’t need much in the way of accessories. I thought the pairing deserved to stand on its own.
The Cora bag is not only aesthetically pleasing on the exterior but extremely functional in the interior. It contains several different compartments from zippered pockets to a row of smaller pockets that can fit everything from your phone and makeup to your tablet. It comes with a strap and a major bonus, the exterior pocket is an easily detachable clutch! How awesome is that?!
