Perfect Pairs: Charlotte Olympia Watermelon Clutch and Manicure

If you follow me on Instagram, you know I love nail art. I’m by no means a nail art guru (in fact, far from it), but over the past year I’ve been able to teach myself to steady my hand and try out some different manicures to accessorize my nails.

This week’s perfect pair comes as the last bit of summer ends. Watermelons are the fruit synonymous with summer and with plenty of days spent under the hot summer sun; there’s nothing better than biting down on a cold slice of watermelon. Our perfect pair starts with the delicious Charlotte Olympia Watermelon Clutch and my watermelon manicure.

Dolce & Gabbana Miss Sicily Queen Regina Satchel

Fill in the Blank: “The Dolce & Gabbana Miss Sicily Queen Regina Satchel is the most…”

Sometimes I hear people say that bags have faces, that on certain designs, the zippers and pockets and other miscellaneous pieces of hardware line up to an unintentional visage to for an unintentional visage in luxury leather. I rarely ever notice these bag faces myself, but I can see them when others point it out to me – my mom, for instance, sees smiling handbags everywhere she goes and used to claim that my Marc Jacobs Stam Bag looked angry. On the other hand, there’s nothing unintentional about the face staring back at us from the Dolce & Gabbana Miss Sicily Queen Regina Satchel.

Unveiling My New Celine Trapeze Bag

I spend a ton of time on the PurseForum checking out members bag reveals, and trust me, it’s something you don’t want to miss. Each time a member reveals a new acquisition, it seems the purchase is being undressed, from the ribbon on the box, to the sleeper bag, to finally revealing the new bag itself.
