The Perfect Purse.

robin_nov_kfp16_39

When I think of a perfect purse , there are a few key words that come to mind: stylish, classic & functional.

The perfect purse is the purse you’re able to dress up, dress down and simply grab and go.

When Oliver Bilou contacted me I was thrilled!  I had been dying to find a black  bag that was big enough but not to big that it looked like I was struggling to carry my own bag.

Their Mia bag was my OBVIOUS pick & fit for me.

It’s black, quilted and structured, need I say more ?

More often than not, I realize I don’t have very many staple pieces in my wardrobe. When it comes to my closet I too often opted out of neutrals and basics, of course over time this has changed.

I didn’t own a fancier jacket or a white “blouse”until recently. I had a grey trench , and other white shirts but I realized I didn’t have 2 very BASIC staple pieces in my wardrobe.

When Sash Boutique contacted me, I decided to make a game plan.

A proper one , to get some basic pieces back in my wardrobe.

Their online boutique offers a huge selection of fabulous pieces, from dainty bras to fancy coats it’s an amazing “one stop shop”.

I was able to find what I now call my “favorite coat“, a trendy pair of black suede leggings, and a beautiful white blouse.

The pieces were quality, classic and elegant. Clearly my game plan worked. I will definitely be shopping with them again !
