Nordstrom asked me to style an Aimee Kestenberg handbag. I had pinned one of the clutches on my private pinboard back in November as a “future buy.” So obviously I jumped at the opportunity. I bought the quilted crossbody bag because I think it’s the most versatile. This is the first look and tomorrow, I’m sharing a second (totally different) look with the same bag. (It’s really the perfect crossbody to go from day to night!)
I also read Aimee Kestenberg’s bio and oh my gosh this girl is crushing it. She has a beyond-impressive resume (like internships with Ralph Lauren and Alexander McQueen) and was even listed on Forbes 30 Under 30 list this year. (And rumor has it that she’s expanding into other accessories later this year!) I think her passion for design is super clear in her entire handbag collection and can’t wait to see how her career continues to grow.

I really love all the details of the clutch, from the chain to the tassel. Understated in the right way, but definitely not your typical boring black bag.

The bag is so cute! And for everyone mentioning that you have had a lot of sponsored posts lately, I think it's totally fine! This is your job, you (obviously) work hard at it and I think you deserve little treats like this in the mail.

Love the black crossbody! I also did a post on the perfect crossbody, though mine was in a neutral tan color!

Love everything about this look from the scalloped pants to the sweatshirt! The bag looks incredibly well made which I feel is harder and harder to find these days without a giant logo splashed all over it. Great find! I'm looking her up now.
