What Fits in My Vintage 50s Patent Leather Top Handle Box Bag

My Summer Wardrobe Essentials
It hit 21 degrees the other day. And the day after that, it was 21 degrees too. Is it too early to hope? Can I call it? I’m going to step out and say that (aside from the spring showers and the unseasonably windy weather) the heat is almost on! And that can only mean…

My Best Vintage & Thrifted Finds Of All Time

It can be dressed up and dressed down, and…
