Gift-Worthy Handbags and Clutches.

There's a lot happening in the world. A whole lot of things that aren't directly in our control right now. It can be stressful and overwhelming even on a good day, so it feels particularly heavy on those that are a little more gloomy; that's why it's important to focus on what you can do and what you can hold in your hands. While a great accessory may not change your life, it can change your attitude and brighten your day, which isn't too shabby if you ask me.
