Rebecca Minkoff Mini M.A.C. in Mint

Hello lovelies! It seems it has been a while since I last posted, but after two years, I have finally completed my Masters program! Since graduation, I have just been catching up on all the different odds and ends I have neglected, but I am excited to finally have the chance to return to my blog. Lately, I have been really into purchasing accessories to enhance my everyday outfits. I had never been a bag girl, but I have added a few new pieces to what was before a sparse collection.

Today, I wanted to reveal my new bag obsession, the Rebecca Minkoff Mini M.A.C.! Normally, the Mini M.A.C. retails for $195.00. I did purchase the item off of Amazon for less. However, because of the price, I really wanted to pick a bag that I would be able to wear for both spring and summer. Originally, I was going to go for black with gold hardware, but I absolutely fell in love with the Mint colored when it released this spring and took the plunge.

The bag comes with a silver chain link and mint leather studded strap that allows the bag to hang either at your hip or just below depending on your height. It can also be worn crossbody. The bag is also embellished by two sets of mint leather strips attached to the zipper pull. I tried to get the pictures to be as true to color as possible.

Here's a closeup of the silver hardware for the mint bag with the initials RM. This hardware can be unbuckled to reveal another pocket underneath the flap.

On the bottom of the purse are four silver studs. The bag also comes with a dust bag that matches the interior of the purse.

Overall, I think the details for the bag are great! Love the feel and quality of the leather as well as the color. One thing to note is that if you purchase this bag in the lighter colors, there's a possibility that the color of your clothing or jeans could rub off on the bag. I noticed this happening and was able to clean it up with a non-alcoholic, fragrance-free baby wipe. I can say I am definitely happy with the purchase and would definitely consider purchasing this bag in another color! Still have my eyes on the black bag with gold hardware!

Essie: Sugar Daddy

Hi everyone! Long time no post sadly, but I was getting a bit overwhelmed by school, jobs and projects. Just as an update, I presented my capstone project last week to faculty at my school and found out several days ago that I officially passed that program requirement. Now, I'm happy to say that as long as I can get past my finals, I have three weeks until graduation! These last two years has definitely been challenging, but I'm happy to say it was worth it.

As indicated in the title, today, I wanted to post a review on Essie polish in Sugar Daddy. It is a very pretty polish that can be layered up.

For those of you interested, you can usually find Essie polishes at Target, Ulta, CVS or Walgreens. What are your favorite shades of Essie? Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend! Happy Sunday!
