Hey guys,

I've been a little quiet here lately because I had a little girl just under 6 weeks ago! Now that I'm a bit more recovered from the insane sleep deprivation (I have a toddler too so "sleep while the baby sleeps" is not a thing), I figured I would share some items that I've picked up recently!

First up is the "Large" 1941 clutch! I really prefer this to the regular one just due to capacity. It's not that much bigger in terms of measurements, but it has 3 accordion sections instead of 2, a back slip pocket, and more card slots! I'm also loving the loops to attach a crossbody strap, since my regular size one (first gen) doesn't have them. I would absolutely sell it if I hadn't had it stamped.

Next up is the Deco Quilted Belt Bag! I'm kind of loving this trend. It's small but I guess one wouldn't want a belt bag to be much larger than this. It's a great alternative if you're looking for something like the Gucci Marmont aesthetic but don't want to plunk down that much money for a trendy look.

This is probably not for very petite folks, as even in my postpartum state, I use the second tightest hole when wearing it at the waist. IMG_20181017_132745.jpegIMG_20181017_132959.jpeg
 
Last up is the Laural Frame in Oxblood. I must admit I was a little disappointed that the interior was not done in a contrasting colour, but I suppose that's a minor nitpick. I hate how the website never shows everything you want to see! I think I'll put on my grey/oxblood linked strap later on to give it more pop. I do really like the opening of this bag (easy but the magnets are strong enough), and the size and layout. That's a big accordion wallet inside, in the last photo.

Congratulations on your baby girl and you look great! I'm loving all your purchases. I was surprised how small the quilted belt bag is but I can get down to carrying very few things. I'm really thinking about the Laural. I just don't "need" any of the current colors. There is an evergreen coming but it has the brass/gold hardware. Hmmm... maybe the grey?

Congrats on your baby! You look wonderful! And congrats on the new editions to your purse family! Haha

I’ve been curious about the larger wristlet, awesome comparison photos.

The laural is beautiful. Such a cool bag! Agree about the interior, I love a fun color interior.
 
Congrats on all of your new additions but mostly your new daughter! How exciting! You look awesome & your photos are showing me some much needed details of these items, particularly the clutch & Laurel.
Welcome back & congrats again!
