Handbag – Mary Nichols | Dress – Rolando Santana (all love this (splurge) and this (steal)) | Bracelets – Forever 21, and c/o Poshlocket | Shoes – Jimmy Choo

They say diamonds are a girl’s best friend, and maybe that’s true, but diamonds aren’t there for you to hold your phone, wallet, and makeup. In my opinion, every girl needs a few amazingly chic leather handbags. So when this  Mary Nichols handbag arrived in the mail, I immediately threw my lip gloss and wallet in and went for a walk around town. I just wanted to show it off, okay?! I also l.o.v.e. the Laura Clutch, which will be coming out in leather soon.

And a giveaway: So, the reason I’m so smiley today is because the lovely Mary Nichols is sponsoring a giveaway for one lucky GirlAvantGarde reader. Those three gorgeous (I mean GORGEOUS) bangles in the last picture below are up for grabs. All you have to do is: Like Mary Nichols Facebook page. That’s it! Make sure you leave a comment to confirm you entered (and I’ll double check). I will announce the random winner on the morning of August 7th, one week from today!

Update: This giveaway is now closed.
