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).

POV: I don’t need new shoes. I don’t need new shoes. I don’t…
 …but can we really have too many pairs of shoes? Asking for me 😭 These fur-trim slingbacks at H&M have me questioning everything I said.

What’s the verdict…cute or naw?

Same pants, different top. Different vibe. 🤎 Left or right — which one’s yours? 👇

I’ve walked past these lace-trim pants so many times thinking, “They’re cute, but they’re just not my style.”

Then one day I decided to play dress-up. I tried them with a poncho and added a belt to cinch my waist—and suddenly, the whole look clicked. I took a piece I wouldn’t normally wear and made it feel like me.

Proof that sometimes you really do have to play dress up.

Me the second I have plans: “Oh, I already know what I’m wearing.” That outfit with the tags still on has been waiting for its debut.

My coworker made me try these pants on, and now I can’t stop thinking about them.  They’re so good, but let’s be real: I’m petite, and without heels, these are sweeping the floor.

Fashion besties, are we keeping them and getting them hemmed, or putting them back?

Calling all fashion besties: This is not a drill! Fall has officially arrived. Let the layering, styling and shopping commence. What’s the first fall piece you’re shopping or shopped for? #fashionstyledetroit

Have you started fall shopping yet?
