Have You Met Gigi Hill?

One can never have too many purses. I mean that literally, I have a separate closet dedicated to my pursues and it’s stuffed beyond capacity. Yet I still feel the need to buy more purses. Each purse has a different message that it conveys when paired with a look.

Bags come in various sizes, shapes, colors, and styles. Finding the right bag to fit every woman’s needs is hard to do. One of my favorite style of purses to carry is the oversized clutched bag, they are very hard to carry on a regular basis because they have no straps and you can’t fit your entire life in it. I look for bags that are not only fashionable but durable and functional.

Thanks to two women who have decided to create a line of bags for busy women on the go, I’ve found the perfect bag…

Co-founders Gabrielle DeSantis-Cummings and Monica Hillman have developed a line of bags and accessories that are high quality, stylish, and offer the functionally every woman needs to be confident and organized every day.

The Annalise duffle is my bag of choice. Though it’s considered to be part of the luggage collection, I carry it as an oversize handbag. I tend to carry everything in my bag when I’m on the go. This bag makes it really easy for me to organize the contents of my purse, without having to dig through looking for things that are lost in the clutter.

This bag has 5 pockets on the outside and 5 pockets on the inside. The side pockets are a great place to stash your lip gloss, spare change, or any small thing that you may want quick access to. The front two pockets are pretty spacious, large enough to fit your tablet in. The inside pockets are what I absolutely love, they hold all my most random purse contents. This duffle also comes with an adjustable shoulder strap.

The Annalise comes in two different patterns, the Snow Leopard (the one I have) and the Del Rio pattern, both are fun bags to help express your style while on the go. This bag is very durable and can withstand the tons of stuff women like me throw into their purses.

All and all I give this bag TWO THUMBS UP! It makes for a great everyday bag (in my opinion).

I know this is going to be an unpopular opinion… 

I wore my Apple Watch with every outfit for years. Then one day I realized not every outfit needs it.

Sometimes the best accessory is knowing when to leave one off.

Do you wear your Apple Watch with everything, or do you switch it up depending on the outfit?

Adulting is exhausting. Nights like this are necessary.

A reminder that I’m allowed to enjoy my life, too.

Work can have me tomorrow. Tonight belongs to me.

Sometimes the best thing you can do for yourself is leave the house. #fashionstyledetroit

When I have no idea what to wear, I stick to a formula that never fails: a graphic tee, a maxi skirt, and statement shoes. Simple, effortless, and it always looks put together. #fashionstyledetroit #ootd #styletip

Unpopular fashion opinion: It’s better to be overdressed than underdressed.

I’d rather walk into a room feeling confident than spend the whole time wishing I’d put in a little more effort.

Getting dressed isn’t about impressing other people, it’s about how you feel when you show up.

Agree or disagree? Which would you rather be: overdressed or underdressed? 👇🏾

Unpopular fashion opinion: Not every fashion trend looks good on everybody.

I’ve learned that chasing every trend doesn’t build great style knowing what works for your body, lifestyle, and personal style does.

The best outfits aren’t always the trendiest. They’re the ones that make you feel confident.

Agree or disagree? What’s one fashion trend you just couldn’t get behind?

I told myself I wasn’t buying another pair of sunglasses.

Then I tried them on.

At what point does it become a collection and not a shopping problem?

Unpopular fashion opinion: Looking expensive has nothing to do with how much you spent.

Some of the best outfits I’ve ever worn weren’t the most expensive…they just fit well, felt good, and were styled with intention.

A designer label won’t fix bad styling, but confidence can elevate almost anything.

Agree or disagree? 

What’s your unpopular fashion opinion?

Original price: $170

My price: $59.97

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but that’s not spending money… that’s being financially responsible. 

Girl math or smart shopping? Be honest. 😂

What up doe? Fashion besties, can we talk about how hard it is to meet new people as an adult?

Between work, responsibilities, and everything else life throws our way, making new friends isn’t always easy. That’s why I love events like this. There’s something so refreshing about stepping outside your comfort zone, meeting new people, and making real life connections.

I came for the content, the donuts, and the good vibes…but I left with some great conversations and new connections.

Noowwwww…let’s talk about the food!! The donuts were good, and I especially loved the Strawberry Shortcake Layered Custard. But the real star of my evening? The Crispy Ramen Original Rice Hotdog lightly sprinkled with sugar. I’m officially hooked and already planning my next visit.

A big thank you to @DetroitFinds313 and @mochinut_berkely for hosting such a fun and welcoming event. 

Now tell me, fashion besties, do you find it easy or hard to make new friends as an adult?
