Summer 2023 handbag wish list from top left: turquoise mini bag (under $1000) / studded handbag / sparkling handbag (IT bag under $500) / top handle bucket (IT bag under $1000) / beige shoulder bag / tan shoulder bag (under $500) / grey tote bag / pale turquoise tote / black hobo bag /

Well, as you know, I love handbags! I have a huge handbag wish list, and for the summer 2023 season, my list is long! Of course, I will not be able to indulge in all of these bags, but a girl can dream, right?

This summer 2023 season, I really want to add one, beautiful investment bag to my collection. A beige or tan bag would be ideal since my collection is mostly black bags. In addition, I don’t have a grey bag! I have always wanted to invest in a grey handbag, but some other color always catches my eye (cough cough, black). So, I need to really focus and invest in a grey bag! I love this beautiful and classic tote bag in grey. It is a style which transcends trends and can be worn in every season. I have had my eye on it for quite some time, so snapping one up in grey would be a wise investment.

I also love fun colors in the summer months! How cute is this little mini bag in bright turquoise?! I love the pop of color for summer.

Studded bags are always a favorite of mine. I had a medium brown Prada bag twenty years ago with beautiful studs on it, and when I stopped wearing it on a regular basis, I sold it. It is the one bag I regret selling. I will never sell a studded bag again! This beautiful, slouchy ivory bag with studs is high on my summer investment list. Isn’t it fabulous? The studs are edgy, yet the ivory hue and slouchy silhouette give it a relaxed and feminine vibe. I am in love!

Chanel Sorciere nail polish review

How pretty is this purple hue! I am in love! Chanel Sorciere is one of twenty-four new nail polish colors introduced this summer by Chanel. Isn’t it fabulous! Love!

Sorciere by Chanel is a pretty purple hue which you can wear now, during the summer months, we as well throughout the fall and winter season. It is a good color which transcends seasons. I am excited to weave it into my current summer nail polish rotation.

I tested out Chanel Sorciere nail polish with one base coat and two coats of color. It is a cream polish which glides on smoothly and applies streak free. I did find a couple of spots where I needed to do a third brush stroke to make the color even. This could have been due to applying too light of a first coat.

Academy of Art University Graduation Fashion Show 2023

academy of art fashion show 2023

The Academy of Art University in San Francisco, California, held their graduation fashion show on May 11, 2023. I was invited to attend, but unfortunately my schedule wouldn’t allow me to go up to the city. Thankfully the show was also live streamed on YouTube, so I was able to enjoy all the beautiful designs shown by their new graduates.

Since I wasn’t able to attend in person, my photos are horrible. I apologize profusely for posting screenshots of the show! You can watch the entire show on YouTube here.

I was really impressed with the combination of artistic vision and down to earth, wearable designs presented by the graduates. I saw so many styles on the runway which were street worthy! Love that!

Please carve out some time to watch the show in its entirety. You will not be disappointed! You can learn more about the Academy of Art University fashion school online at AcademyArt.edu.

Thanks for stopping by!
