Francesca Joy.

I have been on the search for a perfect tote for school. My long champ was getting ruined, and quite frankly i love that bag too much for it to be thrown around in school! In my travels i found this beautiful artist Elise Francesca. Not only is she from Rhode Island and attended RISD {just miles from my town} but she hand-paints her very own collections, wristlets and everything you can imagine. You can even email Elise and buy a custom painted tote just for you! When i first saw the prices i was a bit taken back, the tote above is $145.00, when then i compared it to my long champ that was around $150.00 and thought this tote is hand-painted so much prettier and it's from RI! I'm currently saving up, but i heard there is a sale coming up soon!

The totes are made from the same material as L.L Bean's Boat and Tote but with the hand-painted {even custom} design they are so much better! You can purchase Elise products on her Esty.

Happy Shopping!

With Love,
Brenna

P.S I'll post when Francesca Joy has their Valentine Sale :)

Kiel James Patrick.

Kiel James Patrick. Not only a handsome face to drool over {ladies, he has a beautiful girlfriend!} but a timeless style, dream, and brand! Not to bore you with history, but his products are made in good ole' Rhode Island, which some of you may not know, but is where i am from. Even more the reason to love his products! Patrick's designs are "inspired by classic New England Style" and "KJP products are 100% USA Made". What's not to love? These quality, timeless products don't come cheap though...accessories range from $30-50+. Talk about burning a hole in your pocket... One thing I will say is though i may be {completely} broke, one thing i don't mind doing with the money i have is saving it up, and spending it on quality products that will last me a life time. And the Kiel James Patrick brand is exactly that.

The Vitals: Prep Guide

I personally love little pictures like this that help you get the basics of something. It's convenient having all of the basics in one place on one little picture.

Wishful Thinking: Kate Spade

Oh, if only money wasn't an object...i'd be living in Paris, eating Ladrée macaroons, dressed from head to toe in nothing but Kate Spade. Kate's designs are extremely adorable and fun to say the least, but very expensive. Luckily for you girls that live near Outlets that have Kate Spade you can score some great deals! I once get $78.00 clip on earrings for only ten bucks!

Do you like Kate Spade? What's your favorite product from her? Comment below.
