I think as a blogger, it is always fun to go through your posts and find items which reappear on a regular basis. In May, I discovered my favorite boyfriend jeans were on repeat; and I wondered if you were getting bored of them, or loving them! It was fun to write a post about how much I wear them, and love them. To this day, I still wear them often, although I am trying to not post them as much, for fear I’m boring you. What are your thoughts? Do you enjoy continuing to see an item I wear on repeat, or does it bore you to see it so often? Please weigh in with a comment!

This top handle black satchel by Givenchy has been in my closet since 2014. I found in early 2015 that is it a workhorse handbag. I wore this satchel to fashion week in February 2015, and found it was perfect for carrying my camera, as well as everything else I need to hold in my purse. I loved it so much, I purchased an Antigona in pale blue. Although the pale blue does not get worn nearly as often as the black version, it is still a workhorse and favorite bag of mine.

There are so many things to love about my small Givenchy Antigona bag. Aside from the sturdy build, hearty sugar leather, and ideal size; this bag can be worn with almost anything, for any occasion! I carry it when I wear jeans, workout clothing, dresses, skirts, office attire, casual attire; you name it! This bag has a classic, almost-doctor-bag silhouette which offers a chic look, and timeless style. The construction is extremely sturdy; I have discovered this over the years by carrying heavy objects such as my DSLR camera. I have also found, that it is my favorite bag for getting through fashion week.

Although I love owning shoulder bags, clutches, and totes, my Givenchy Antigona satchel is my all-time favorite bag. I cannot imagine living without it. I keep it out and ready for use everyday. It fits snacks and toys for my kids, as well as work items for when I am on the go in the fashion scene. This bag has it all. When you hear the term “investment bag,” my Givenchy Antigona goes beyond the financial definition of an investment bag, for me, it is a priceless tool that gets me through the day.

This bag transcends seasons, and trends. Like a Chanel 2.55 bag, the Givenchy Antigona is a classic. Someday I would love to add one to my collection in a neutral hue such as tan or beige.

Do you have a handbag in your closet that you can’t get enough of? I would love to hear about it!

Can’t get enough of my . . . boyfriend jeans!

So do you have that one piece of clothing in your closet you find yourself reaching for over, and over, and over, and over again? I do! My boyfriend jeans! Sometimes I actually have to stop myself from wearing my boyfriend jeans. After all, a girl can’t be seen wearing the same thing two days in a row!

So boyfriend jeans aren’t new on the denim scene. They have been around for a few years as a popular denim style. Although I have owned boyfriend jeans for several years now, this season I cannot seem to get enough of them!

Skinny jeans have become boring to me, and a lot of the cropped styles on the market this season, don’t really excite me. You won’t catch me in “mom jeans,” after all, I can’t even bring myself to drive a mini-van. Those high-waisted jeans popping up all over Instagram make me a giggle a little. C’mon, didn’t we learn from the high-waited denim mistake a few decades ago? Just say no to high-waists. They give everyone a pooch belly.

Boyfriend jeans have become my go-to denim style this season because they are comfortable, easy to wear, and they have built-in air conditioning. Those distressed holes they come with allow for some air flow! This is great when the temperatures start to rise above 70. Love them!

It is also really easy to wear boyfriend jeans with wedges, flats, or heels; depending upon the occasion.

Denim is also a fabric which can washed over, and over, and over again without looking old or frayed; haha, unless they were meant to look that way like these distressed boyfriend jeans! I can keep washing, drying, and wearing these jeans without worrying about them looking old. They really are my number one go-to item. It’s possible I wear them more then my favorite handbags; and handbags transcend season!
