I was at Penningtons this week and took a photo of their bag display. They have some rather large handbags for about $40. Check out your local store to see what they have or stop by the online shop where you can shop Addition-Elle’s handbags at the same time. (If you click on image you…

One of my favorite pieces from their holiday collection is the Crossover Dress with Lace Bodice and Tiered layers ($90).
