Pretty, shiny & new

Hope you all are having a great Monday!

I am definitely having a hard time adjusting to this new time change (how can one hour make such a difference?) and have that Monday blues thing going on too. 

But I am determined to not let that get the best of me. So here are some pretty, shiny and new things that will get me through this day.

New pretty purse/clutch with the daintiest of earrings.

Shiny little reminders of my name. 

I found the purse in a random little boutique in my husband's hometown (love finds like that) for less than $25! It reminded me a little bit of the Bottega Veneta  weaved leather accessories, so I knew I had to have it. I have been wearing the initial studs on only one of my ears (is that weird?). When I was younger I was very much into the biggest earrings I could get away with, sometimes even making my own, but lately I am drawn to minimal jewelry and these were too sweet to pass up.
