Have you ever wondered how to keep your purse dry in the rain, or better yet, how to protect your purse in the rain? So have I! Anytime the clouds gather, I start to cringe if I am out somewhere with one of my favorite handbags. The last thing a handbag girl wants is for her bag to get ruined by the rain!

I have thought about carrying a garbage bag with me, so I can throw it over my handbag when the skies open up, but alas, I cannot see myself accessorized with a garbage bag over my handbag. I just can’t. So when I heard about The Gussy, I was more than thrilled; I was ecstatic!

The Gussy is the most amazing thing to happen to handbags since the advent of “IT” status. There is no better way to protect a precious purse than The Gussy. It is the ultimate “IT” bag accessory! Love!

This fabulous handbag raincoat can adjust to fit any size purse. It has three flaps which can go inside a handbag’s handle, or around it. You can see my demonstration in the photos above of how The Gussy works to fit a handbag. My Givenchy Antigona is the small size, so as you can see, The Gussy fits it perfectly with plenty of room to spare. This purse raincoat can definitely fit larger bags too! Love that!

I also love how small, and compact, The Gussy folds up to be! It slides perfectly into the side of the interior of my handbag; leaving plenty of room for my purse essentials. It is quite handy. I am so happy I don’t have to wonder how to protect my purse in the rain anymore.

The Gussy is available in several patterns and colors. I just love the navy with white polka dots. It matches my favorite navy umbrella perfectly. They make a great rainy day pair!

I have always wondered how to keep my purse dry in the rain, so discovering The Gussy is a life saver! Have you ever wondered how to protect your purse in the rain? If you have, definitely check out The Gussy. It is so perfect for keeping your handbag dry in the rain!

Dior Cruise nail polish summer 2016 review

Dior Cruise nail polish is a fabulous new color from Dior’s summer 2016 beauty collection. This sparkly, pink hue is so pretty and perfect for summer 2016, love!

Pink nail polish is a hot beauty trend right now, and Dior Cruise nail polish for summer 2016 is a fabulous way to rock this trend right now, and into the summer season. The nail polish is a bright, vivid pink, filled with sparkles! Who doesn’t love sparkles 😉

Cruise by Dior is an easy nail polish color to wear on a daily basis. Pink nail polish is considered neutral, so it blends well with different beauty looks, and any color palette. It feels like a natural color to wear. Love that!

I tested out Dior Cruise nail polish for summer 2016 with one base coat, two coats of Cruise, and one top coat. The nail polish is incredibly long lasting. It lasted a full week. The reason I took it off was due to nail growth.

The application brush on Dior’s nail polish also needs a shout out. I love the application brush. It is on the thick side, yet it offers a flat design. This allows the nail polish to glide on easily, without a mess. The brush applies the polish without gaps, and the brush design keeps polish off the sides of my fingers. Love that!

Dior Cruise nail polish is a fun color to wear on warm sunny days. The sparkles catch the sun when I am outside, and of course, they shine! It makes the polish lighthearted, and fun; just like summer!

I absolutely adore Dior Cruise nail polish for summer 2016. This will be a great color for everyday wear; definitely a go-to neutral for the summer months. If you are looking for a fun, and fabulous, pink to wear this summer, Dior Cruise nail polish is your color!

Dior Cruise nail polish from Dior’s summer 2016 beauty collection can be found online here, and here.

Stay tuned! My review of Cosmic is coming up in a few days!

Lace trench coat and pink for spring

how to style a lace trench coat for spring casual outfit for spring express lace trench for spring lace for spring 2016 lace trench coat for spring pink and lace for spring pink mini mansur gavriel bucket bag transition to spring casual outfit ideahow to wear a lace trench coat for spring 2016

This lace trench coat! I originally purchased this lace trench coat for spring at the end of January to wear in New York for fashion week. It has since become the perfect trench coat to wear this spring season!

We took these photos while it was lightly raining outside, you may spot water drops on the camera lens, and this lace trench coat was the perfect weight. The lace is over a  lightweight black liner which adds just the right amount of warmth on a mild, unsettled spring day.

The temperatures this month have been hovering in the 50’s and 60’s. This lace trench coat has been the perfect topper to tee shirts, and this long sleeve blouse, during mild weather. Although I would not wear a lace trench coat during heavy rain, it performs fine during light rain, or fog mist. I love it!

I have worn my lace trench coat over skirts, a black dress, and my favorite casual spring outfit; flares and a top! I love how it spices up a pair of basic flare jeans, and a pink blouse. The lace trench coat really makes the outfit; otherwise, it’s just jeans and blouse.

Lace has never been a fabric I have been drawn to. I always used to associate it with pajamas and lingerie; or as an accent on formal wear. When lace became a popular fabric for everything from shoes to coats to dresses a few years ago, I started to take note. This is the first season I have broken out of my comfort zone, and purchased a lace piece of clothing! I am so glad I did!

I am looking forward to wearing this lace trench coat more, and more, during the spring season; and on foggy summer days! What are your thoughts on wearing lace pieces casually this spring?
