The Strand

April 1st… Y’all, my favorite month is here! Flowers and swimsuit shopping and Easter and pastels. Thunderstorms and strawberry shortcake and birthday celebrating and seer sucker. April is my absolute favorite. I wasn’t kidding. So, I’m celebrating the start of the most perfect of months with all the color, cheer, and italicization it is due, thanks to my gorgeous Strand tote by Elaine Turner.

I’m enchanted by bright accessories that manage to liven up any outfit in a stylish and sophisticated manner.

Those pieces that are eye-catching and timeless. Fresh and classic. Unique and seamless.

Those pieces that leave an impression on you without you even realizing it.

Somehow the Strand checks off every box on that list. Flawlessly. (If you thought that list was long, you should’ve seen the “boyfriend” version circa 8th grade. We won’t get into that.)

Perhaps it’s the vibrant hue.

The, um, gold monogram.

Honestly, I think what it really comes down to is this – it’s the April of purses.
