It is finally here! I am so excited to team up with one of my favorite Handbag designers, Gigi New York and my gorgeous friend Kate, to launch their gorgeous Resort Collection. We have been planning this launch since Fashion week and it has been so hard to keep hush hush!

With this collection they released a brand new design, The Carly Reversible Clutch, which is what I am carrying. This bag can be worn as a cross-body, on the shoulder or as a clutch. It is the perfect bag for the girl that likes options. The black and white color block design is chic and timeless. It has quickly become my go-to accessory! The best thing about a black and white bag, is that it can be carried all year long. As always, Gigi offers personalization to their bags and I think its the perfect touch. Be sure to check out the entire Resort Collection here.

I styled my Gigi New York bag with probably one of my all time favorite looks. Every holiday season I gravitate towards sequins. This Ann Taylor Sequin mini is the perfect holiday skirt. It has a stretchy waist so its super comfortable, and the length is perfect. I paired it with a fitted white Banana Republic blouse that has black piping along the seem. I knew I wanted to incorporate some plaid, so enlisted my mother to make me the perfect bow. It ties the entire look together. (literally ;))

Also, our friend Brittany Fuson teamed up with us for this launch and illustrated our Looks with our Gigi New York Bags.  Brittany’s illustrations are my absolute favorite and to be sketched by her was SO much fun! It was so special to have her apart of this exciting launch. Not to mention she is a total sweetheart. Check out her shop here.

Come back tomorrow for my second look with Gigi New York!
