{style inspiration | in my closet : jill milan silk clutch}
. . . and it has been a scandalously long time since the last in my closet feature, [too little time & too many projects], but lately, a few fun additions to the closet, especially spring things, and this silk clutch being one; and while have been known to dash about during the workday with much larger handbags -- shoulder, totes and carryalls, paired with a classic trench and pearl-trimmed gloves, it has been perfect for late lunches that drift into stops by gallery openings and after work cocktails, and even, dinner reservations . . .
. . . with the exception of a pretty feather one for evening dates, this one has been a current favourite [although also crazy about the art deco, in gold], and a first introduction jill milan, who make everything in florence, using only italian faux leathers, linens, and cottons that are environmentally friendly and pvc-free; the hardware was handmade by an artisan who worked for one of italy's premier jewelers, adding such elegance and romance . . .
{p.s.} for those who have just arrived or may have missed : this week's give-away
