Teddy Blake Carla nano handbag* I don’t know about you, but when it comes to dropping some of my hard-earned cash on a handbag, I’m usually pretty quick to look at the brands that I already know.

The brand in question is Teddy Blake; a New York based company offering three very iconic styles in small and large sizes (two of…
Stumbling across those essential wardrobe pieces is one of the most important aspects of building the backbone of your closet, but the question always is, where should I start?

It’s been a while since I’ve combed through my wardrobe with fresh eyes; and with a little bit more downtime than I knew what to do with this morning, I found myself sorting through what I’d be keeping for the new year ahead.
