LOTS and LOTS of stuff that I’m smitten with this week.
So, kick back and get ready for lots of pretty things.
You’re welcome.
I really like the colorful one. I feel like it would go with everything.
fyi: There is 1 review of this clutch online, and it’s not so great. It says “poorly made”, but I keep studying the picture, and it looks good to me. I tried to go see it in the store, but they didn’t have it there. I’m thinking it might be worth the risk, but I haven’t seen it in person so I’m just not sure.
If you have this clutch or have seen this clutch in person, leave a comment telling me your thoughts!!!

Next up, have you ever heard of Sequin hinged bangles?
I did a little teaser about them earlier in the week about how my OCD tendencies are totally kicking in with them, and I wasn’t kidding. I want one in every size, pattern, and color.
cause I have awesome manners like that.
I’m telling you, the possibilities are endless.
They come in various sizes and at various price points ranging from low $20 to high $50.
I think they just scream “SPRING” “SUMMER” and “HAPPY”!
And here is a pic I took in Nordstrom last weekend that gives you an idea of the options (there were 2 more trays of different colors I didn’t get pics of!).
Some are accented with gold and some are accented with silver and they look great mixed and matched!
Here’s the thing (the only downside) about these bracelets…
However, you get what you pay for.
They are something that would be hard to buy for yourself (at least for me), but after getting them as a gift, I’m totally getting 2 more because now I know they are worth the $$ to me.
I just have to decide what 2 additional colors I’m getting.
If you want to see the entire Sequin jewelry selection in one place,
go HERE and just type in “sequin jewelry”.
But listen, I’m warning you, your OCD tendencies will probably kick into high gear too.
These bracelets ROCK.

When looking for the clutches I highlighted above, I also ran across THIS in the store.
IT. IS. DARLING.
I mean, SUPER SUPER DARLING.
It’s a great size, and the round wooden handle is fabulous. It’s very “resort”.
It comes in 3 great colors (coral, navy, and sunflower yellow), and I love each of them.
Click HERE to see the colors available. My goodness they make me ready for summer….and maybe a tropical drink with a little umbrella in it.

And just when I thought I was finished writing about my current obsessions,
I started exchanging e-mails with a sweet reader yesterday, Kathrin.
(Kathrin was the first to respond to my offer for the 40% off Banana Republic code on Wednesday, so we started e-mailing back and forth. Using my coupon code, she got a pair of fab BR wedges, and then we also started talking about a bag she was going to get. But not just any bag, THIS bag.
I just look at the bag and my heart starts to race a little bit.

Cute!! I adore Sequin jewelry! It's pricey, but so worth it! I live in Minnesnowta and every year in December there is a Sequin Sample Sale and it's my favorite time to stock up and buy Christmas presents! It's 50-80% off the normal price. How can a girl say no to that??

Sheaffer! You're a Kappa?! I'm a Kappa! And I looove your blog. Great minds think alike! I saw those bracelets at Nordstrom a month ago and fell in love. Thanks to you (ahem), I now have the green Stella and Dot earrings, a chambray button-down, and countless other charges on my Discover card my hubby is none too thrilled about (but I am!) Keep up the great work with your blog – it makes me smile so much! -Cathy

Mix and Match Mama says
Eeks! A super fun post that includes ME! First, I am so bummed that I didn't buy me any matching bangles when I bought yours. I just love them so much! I really need one or two. Or seven. And thank you so much for the travel shout-out! One of these days, when you take C to Disney World, those tips will come in handy! Love you!
Kris says
Obsessed with the sequins jewelry, too!!! Can I ask about the bracelet on your wrist with the giant diamond-ish stones? I like how chunky it is!!! I had a stack of silver/larger faux diamond/clear stone bracelets from Charming Charlie–but they (along with a small bag of other costume jewelry) were STOLEN from my suitcase on the way to Florida. Grrrr!

I love the large envelope clutches! I have a black and blue Kenneth Cole one, and a red thrifted one that you can see here: http://moderncommonplacebook.com/2013/04/01/just-a-brown-skirt/
I carry them everywhere and are super versatile. Hope you find one that works!

Sheaffer, they do seem a little pricy, but Mother's Day is coming up so I'm thinking…. hmmmmm…..
Thanks for sharing the bling!
