Happy spring! Our weather is FINALLY jumping into the 70’s and 80’s! It was so nice to be able to wear my warm weather clothing over the weekend! I wore this outfit to church on Sunday, and for a meeting later in the afternoon. This skirt is so comfortable and perfect for warm spring weather!
My daughter is taking a photography class through school and she took these pictures after church on Sunday. She had me twirling, and moving my skirt like crazy! I think some people on the sidewalk thought I was insane. haha That being said, it was really fun having an eleven-year-old direct me in my photos! She really loves photography and is having so much fun with it. She has a really good eye for nature photos, and her landscape photography is beautiful. We live in the perfect place for those types of photos!
If you are looking for a comfy and casual spring outfit, which isn’t made out of denim, I highly recommend this skirt! It looks really cute with a basic tee, or a twist tee. You can wear it casual with flip flops, or dress it up with espadrille wedges like I did. Well, by “dress it up” I mean “put together casual” versus “just threw this together casual” haha if that makes any sense Maybe I’m babbling? OK, I’ll stop.

This is THE BAG! I first spotted the Brahmin Lane Melbourne handbag on Kat from KatWalkSF.com at New York Fashion Week. I told her how much I loved her bag, and she told me it was Brahmin! After seeing her wear it, I suddenly realized, this was the same bag I was seeing on guests of fashion week at all the shows. This was arguably the most popular bag on the streets of New York Fashion Week!
At the end of fashion week, I scoured my street style photos and notes. it was clear to me that this bag was on of the top ten most spotted at fashion week. Top that off with the fact that it is a circle bag, another hot spring trend, and we have the makings of an IT bag! Love that
The Brahmin Lane Melbourne bag is simply stunning. It is a structured handbag with stamped croc leather. The stamped croc is on both the front and back of the bag. The back features a handy opera ticket pocket which is a great place to put letters I need to mail. haha, It can be used for many things, that is just what I use it for.
This beautiful circle bag has a detachable shoulder strap which can be adjusted to be worn over the shoulder, or cross body. It’s fairly lightweight, so the Lane Melbourne by Brahmin is comfortable to wear on the shoulder; but it is always nice to have the cross body option.
In addition to the detachable strap, there is a lady bag inspired top handle. I love carrying it by the top handle, it offers a vintage vibe when worn by the top handle.
Since the Brahmin lane Melbourne is on the smaller handbag side, I was afraid it wouldn’t hold very much; I was wrong! It is actually quite roomy inside!
The interior features a credit card slot pocket, zipper pocket, and key latch. It’s very organized for a small bag, yet the main compartment fits quite a bit! I can fit my wallet, sunglasses, lipstick, keys, and iPhone with plenty of space left for Kleenex, a phone charger, or any other small incidental I might need to throw in my bag. As a mother of three, my kids are always giving me things to hold, so extra space in my bag is must-have!
This is my first Brahmin handbag, and I am quite impressed! The leather is sturdy and the craftsman is top notch. The stitches are even and tight; this is a very well made bag! Love! Now I know why my friend Kat wears it all the time, and why my Mom has another Brahmin handbag style she loves, and wears often too! I’m a new Brahmin fan!
The Brahmin Lane Melbourne handbag comes in five beautiful colors. The coconut (white) and pecan (brown) were the two most common colors I spotted on the streets of New York Fashion Week. While these colors are beautiful, you also have a choice of black, ribbon (raspberry red), and my favorite-Astral!

*Thank you to Brahmin for gifting me this handbag so I could share one of the hottest bags on the streets of fashion week with you! All thoughts and opinions are my own.
OK, so my daughter took these photos the other day after lunch, and she kept telling me how pretty my bag was! The first thing she said when she saw it was “it’s a mermaid bag!” Yup! She thinks the color and sheen look like the ocean, and the stamped croc looks like seashells. She asked if she could have the bag, and when I said no, she said she was going to buy herself one. haha, so cute!
She was also smitten with my tee. You can’t tell in the photos, but it has sparkles! This tee is such a fun way to be casual and comfy this spring season. I plan on wearing this tee all the time!
When it comes to wearing denim on denim for spring 2018, I love to mix contrasting denim hues. Denim this season is embellished, colorful, and being shown in acid wash; raise your hand if you used to wear acid wash jackets and jeans back in the day! My hand is so far up, I hit the light fixture!
I don’t always go for denim on denim, but when it is done in contrasting washes, or colors, I love how it looks. Plus, denim is so comfortable without looking sloppy; like worn-in sweatpants. Love it!
Denim on denim isn’t exactly a trend anymore. It seems to be something which has been around for over five years now, and doesn’t show any sign of going away. What do you think of denim on denim? Is this a look you like to wear?
