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.

Why stop at one ring when you can layer on the jewels? Sometimes the best part of fashion is reveling in excess, especially when you're stacking rings from our latest sponsor, Anjolee. Outfitted with gemstones, an anniversary ring is a beautiful addition to a stack of layered rings. A few of my favorite anniversary rings are featured above, but an ultra-indulgent diamond anniversary ring is an enticing option too.

I certainly haven't tired of cocktail attire and sparkling baubles. This weekend, I picked up a pair of oversize rhinestone earrings, promising Dave that I'd wear them to holiday soirees. And now that Kranich's Jewelers came on board as our newest sponsor, I think it's safe to say I won't be retiring glittering stones to the jewelery box until well after the last bottle of champagne empties on New Year's Eve. Besides, how could you resist these yellow diamond pieces from Ritani and those tucked away under the Cushion Cut Diamond Engagement Rings section?
