smilingrid: true love (accessory edition)

true love (accessory edition)

 Just me re-reading my favorite novel, as you do.
 except...
 THIS ISN'T A BOOK! SURPRISE!


Kate Spade creates these gorgeous book clutches in an ever-changing collection. I've wanted the Pride and Prejudice one (for obvious reasons) since it was first on their website years ago. But, alas, it disappeared from the shelves (ahem, stores)! So, when it reappeared in a valentine's day flash sale, it only took another few hours- on top of the years already worked through- to decide to splurge on it.

The face of pure JOY!

Just look at how beautiful it is! 


 Sweater (old, H&M)- Jeans- Shoes (similar)- BAG!!! (similar and BEAUTIFUL)
I just happened to have the perfect ribbon on hand to make my clutch into a shoulder bag at a moment's notice! (thanks, mom)



While I have you here and interested in my favorite book, I figured I'd also showcase my abso-freakin-lutely adorable P&P buttons!
