Handbag spotlight: Veronica Beard Dash Bag /

How fabulous is the Veronica Beard Dash bag! I am in love! As the belted tote reigns supreme this year, the Dash bag by Veronica beard stands out as one of the hottest handbags on the street. Love it!

As you know, the belted tote is both a classic handbag style and an IT bag this year. Veronica Beard’s version offers timeless style, high quality, reasonable pricing, and perfect proportions; making it both beautiful and practical. I definitely need one in my life!

Veronica Beard offers the Dash in small, medium and large sizes. It has two top handles, a shoulder strap, and an interior packet. I am not sure which size I want to purchase, but like I said, I need one in my life! This bag is timeless and an investment handbag to wear and cherish for years to come. I highly recommend choosing a neutral color you know you will get a lot of use out of. I am leaning towards black. Love it!

Do you love all the neutral hues right now as much as I do? There is something fresh about mixed neutrals in shades of mocha. Love!

Also loving all the pops of pale pink, which is supposed to be one of the hottest colors for fall 2025; of course, it is perfect to wear now too! Love that!

These high heels are amazing! If you missed my blog post from last week, these high heels have arch support and are engineered to fit correctly. I find them incredibly comfortable, and can’t wait to invest in more pairs! They have block heels, kitten heels, and more! Love that!

What I wore to jury duty

wearing: pink earrings / olive tee / tweed jacket / bucket bag / spring nail polish / wide leg jeans (on sale) / boots / (background is AI generated-read below)

OK, first off, I was called for jury duty and wanted to be comfortable yet professional, so I paired my wide leg jeans with a blazer in order to combine comfort with a bit of structure. I was in the jury pool and ended up not getting called despite having to sit in a courtroom for three days while a jury was picked. This was my outfit from day three, I failed to photograph day one and day two because the weather was so bad.

Second, this is a full disclaimer! It was pouring rain when we snapped this photo, and the background was terrible. I wanted to share my jury duty outfit, but I didn’t like the photo overall, so I decided to play with AI.

In case you haven’t noticed, AI is everywhere. Sometimes I really need to examine a photo online in order to ensure it is real. It can be really difficult to tell! Since I wanted to share this outfit, but wasn’t happy with the background, I reluctantly clicked the “generate background” button and typed in various commands, the results were often humorous.

I tried “city streets,” “courthouse,” “sidewalk,” “path,” “downtown,” and from the often disturbing, dystopian results, I decided to try something a bit more on the simple side. My next run through was “brick wall,” and “plain wall.” These two commands resulted in close to real backgrounds. I cleaned up the background on this white wall and voila! I had a clean enough background to make the picture worthy of sharing.

It does feel weird posting something with an AI generated background, but since I didn’t touch the subject, which was me, I felt like it was ethical to post this photo along with a full disclaimer.

What are your thoughts on AI? Do you think using it to improve a photo is ethical? Is what I did OK?
