Buttery Soft Leather

   I hope and wish that you all have a wonderful Mother's Day with your family and that goes for doggie Moms too! I won't be able to pay a hometown visit to my Mom tomorrow but I am excited to see each other in two weeks when they come down for Memorial Day holiday at the end of this month. If you missed my recent post, I recently created a handmade fabric clutch as a gift for my mother. Speaking of handmade clutches, I'm going ga ga over this particular piece and I think it's an amazing find, amazing enough to share!

   Well last month I created a wish list via an Etsy treasury list of Lace, Leather, Metallics, and Printed Denim. If you happen to be drooling over the metallic bronze clutch, I'm totally with you because I was drooling over this clutch myself. But at $97 it's a bit steep for me. Well I recently added Karrah Designs to one of my favorite Etsy shops list as I A-D-O-R-E all her bags. All the way from the United Kingdom, her leather clutches range from $51 to $126 and are made of buttery soft leather in many assorted colors.

Well luckily, I stumbled upon this beautiful buttery ruffle leather clutch at an amazing sample price of only $29 also from Karrah Designs on Etsy. Score! The color is so neutral that I'm looking forward to pairing it with some of my floral print tops for the spring and summer seasons.

Thank you so much for reading and have a wonderful weekend.

Stepping Back

   Hi Everyone! After plenty of restful sleep and even taking it easy for the last two weeks, I am finally starting to feel like myself again. After being really sick last week, I had to take a step back and really think about what my body was trying to tell me as well as realize what really is important in life. Capturing life's moments reminds me that I still love the simple things.

Here are just a few pictures from my Instagram feed. Follow me @ninnalu if you'd like.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1) Maddie sticking by me the whole time I was sick. I don't know who was more worried me or her.

 

2) Showing my furry best friend, Pawley, some love. It's something I do everyday.

 

3) The beautiful skyline right in our backyard.

 

4) I drank lots of hot tea as a simple cold remedy. The tea kettle was my ultimate savior.

 

5) I love having dinners at home! Here is a simple dinner of mediterranean quinoa salad, grilled salmon and asparagus.

 

6) Yummy bruschetta as a before dinner snack.

 

What simple things do you love, crave and just can't live without?

 

Thank you for reading and have a great Memorial Day weekend.
