On Bedknobs & Baubles: Weekend Snapshots and yesterday's Bauble of the Week

Tuesday Treats Under $25

We're playing hooky to spend the day at the water park. I'll be wearing a pair of cheap sunglasses in case I lose them in the wave pool, but these would be so much cuter.

They're only $24 and available in mint or pink.

Today on Bedknobs & Baubles: an outfit post featuring the Marley Lilly clutch from yesterday.

Review: Marley Lilly Clutch

True confession: when I was younger, I wanted to marry someone with the same last initial so I could purchase monogrammed items and not have to retire them once I got hitched. Entirely impractical and silly, but my love of monograms hasn't faded.

I recently learned about Marley Lilly, a monogram emporium. They have everything from monogrammed jewelry and scarves to drinkware and soap - and this gorgeous monogrammed clutch, which they sent over for review.

The clutch is made of pebbled faux leather and the color combination is customizable. There are 12 clutch colors and over 30 thread colors for your monogram. The clutch transforms into a cross body bag for easy hands-free shopping with a chain that easily clips inside and can be tucked in the purse.

It's definitely roomy enough for all of my daytime essentials, measuring 7 by 11 inches.

Here's what fits easily inside: a pouch for money and credit cards, lip gloss, a small mirror for touch ups and a phone. (My keys also fit, but aren't pictured.)

It's a beautiful clutch that's practical and durable for daytime use. But I know that sometimes you need to tote more during the day. The thin clutch slips easily into a larger bag without taking up much space, so you can pull it out later when it's time to downsize. 

Check Bedknobs & Baubles on Tuesday to see the clutch featured in an outfit post.
