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).

They looked good, but something still felt like a no. I’m learning that “cute” isn’t always enough to earn a place in my closet. #fashionstyledetroit #fittingroom #fashion

Cute is not enough, bestie. Does it fit your style? Does it work with your closet? Can you wear it five different ways? These are the questions we’re asking before fall shopping. #fashionstyledetroit #fallfashion #anthropologie

I hear so many people say, “I don’t really have the budget to shop right now.”

And guess what? You don’t have to.

You do not need to constantly buy new clothes to be stylish. Style is about what you do with what you already have…like mixing pieces differently, playing with accessories, trying new combinations, and actually wearing what’s in your closet.

Your budget might say “no shopping right now,” but that doesn’t mean your style has to be put on pause.

This is your reminder that the right outfit can change your whole mood. I started feeling myself, found a cute little corner, and somehow a mini photo shoot popped off.  #fashionstyledetroit #style

Since ya girl is a certified sweetaholic (sugar addict if you will), trust me when I say… this was GOOD good. Listen, thank goodness this was on a Sunday because calories don’t count on the weekend and I will not be taking any further questions at this time. But this strawberry cheesecake from @nostalgiabakeries was totally WORTH IT.
