I was first introduced to Blair Ritchey at a Bitches Who Brunch event through my friend Cori Sue.

The petite designer is not only talented but also one of the sweetest ladies I know. We have worked together on a few projects and I die for her handbags. If you haven’t checked out her line, you’re missing out! I have a weakness for cognac leather and the quality of leather in her bags is superb.

Blair and I also enjoy catching up over nutella lattes and strawberry mojitos and since she just moved from DC, you know I am missing those dates.

Her motto is Simplistic – Functional – Luxury. What better words to make.my.monday?

And SURPRISE! This week only, Hosting & Toasting readers get 15% OFF with special promo code: HOSTING15

Here are some of my picks for fall:

1. KANTNER – perfect crossybody bag and all Blair’s tassels are removable and interchangeable so you can mix up the colors or go without.

2. GOING TO MARKET TOTE – I mean, isn’t this the cutest thing in the world? I love my GTM tote and use it at the pool, for flowers, traveling and yes, even the market. Every time I wear it I get asked about it!

3. LULU FOLDOVER – I also love this bag and own it in cognac. It is the perfect clutch to tote year round. I take mine out on the town and also throw it in a larger purse or tote during the week. It fits everything you need and even has a small handle to clutch onto on the back.

4. BELT BAG – So Blair is hip, way hipper than me and she wears this bag so well! When she first told me about this design coming out, I had no idea I would love it so much. The lock and details are impeccable and it’s perfect for running around, a night out, concert or just running errands. Look how great she looks in it HERE.
