The Carla

Teddy Blake Carla nano handbag* I don’t know about you, but when it comes to dropping some of my hard-earned cash on a handbag, I’m usually pretty quick to look at the brands that I already know.

Shop my wardrobe

I’ve made a few half-hearted attempts to KonMari our home, and short of throwing out Luke’s old shoes (and hoping he won’t notice, I thought it was time to tackle my own closet. It’s been a while since I’ve combed through my wardrobe with fresh eyes; and with a little bit more downtime than I knew what to do with this morning, I found myself sorting through what I’d be keeping for the new year ahead.
