When I first saw this little Gucci Marmont bag online, I gotta admit, I was a bit skeptical. I obviously knew I would love the bag because of the elegant design, but I sort of assumed it would be an accessory that just looked good – I didn’t think it would actually be functional. It looked TINY! But when it finally came in the mail a few days later, I was shocked {& thrilled!} to see that it was better than I could have ever imagined. Not only was the soft leather & design gorgeous, but it fit my phone, keys, wallet, lipstick and sunglasses without issue {?!} The best part though, is that this bag doesn’t carry the typical Gucci price tag – it will still set you back a few hundred dollars, but this is much less than the typical $2-$3K price tags of most of their bags. I have loved it so much I am considering buying the blush version! #swoon
I have paired it here with my go-to flare jeans from Frame and this cute under $50 ruffle sleeve top. Don’t forget I’m 5’10 without heels, so I had to find an extra long inseam to achieve this look {the exact jeans I’m wearing are here!} But, because I know most people aren’t so tall, you can easily get the look with a shorter inseam. My favorite, shorter-girl, flares are these.
Lastly, Hurricane Harvey is still wreaking havoc on Southern Texas, and especially Houston, and there are so many ways to donate. See a few of my favorites below!
- Blood is always needed in natural disasters, and if you are someone who cannot donate in a monetary way, donating blood is a free way & easy way to give back. You can find your local blood drives here!
- The Red Cross has created a ‘wish list’ on Amazon, allowing you to easily check out & send much needed supplies to their resource points in Houston. A great option for those who don’t live in Texas and/or have access to local drives providing support.
- Text HARVEY to 90999 to donate $10 to the Red Cross
- Text LOVE to 20222 to donate $10 to the Humane Society
