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).

The girls who get it, get it… leopard is a neutral!

Fashion besties, I’m so serious when I say leopard goes with EVERYTHING. At this point, I throw it on the same way other people throw on black or denim.

Like the outfit can be cute… then you add leopard and suddenly it makes sense. It’s like putting on the finishing touches. 

A leopard shoe, bag, jacket, SOMETHING. It just works every time.

Please tell me I’m not the only one that treats leopard like a neutral?

May was a mix of getting dressed, figuring life out, creating content, romanticizing small moments, and reminding myself that growth doesn’t always look loud. 

A little fashion, a little chaos, a lot of memories.

This @fabletics set is comfortable enough to nap in, cute enough to be seen in. The older I get, the more I understand that effortless style is the real luxury. Give me soft fabrics, wide leg pants, and an outfit that looks elevated without trying too hard. Fashion girls know the vibe is looking put together while still feeling like yourself. #fashionstyledetroit #fableticspartner

I’ve always wanted to build a creative community where the energy is right, the vibes are genuine, and people can walk into a room and instantly feel welcomed.
.
Our first Creator Mix as @detroitcreativecommunity meant a lot to me. Seeing so many new faces, familiar faces, creatives connecting, laughing, collaborating, and just enjoying the moment reminded me exactly why we started this.
.
This is more than an event to me. It’s a space for creatives to feel inspired, seen, and connected. And we’re just getting started @detroitfinds313 @dodreamon @astoldbyarielb @ashleigh.lashawn 
.
Thanks to all the amazing sponsors who helped make this night possible

You can have a whole outfit… and then you throw on a leather moto jacket and suddenly everything makes sense.

Petite girls aren’t supposed to wear this. Let me tell you now…I don’t care. 
. 
Let me be honest with y’all Petite Besties, I saw these wide leg jeans, I knew they were too long for my 5’1” frame, and I bought them anyway. And I have…Zero regrets.
The belt is holding everything together. The mesh is giving drama. And the heels? The heels are doing HEAVY lifting….shoot they knew what they signed up for. 
This is what petite fashion is really about,not waiting for the perfect fit, but styling it your way!!! 
Save this one besties. We are NOT letting long inseams win.
