Thursday Purseday ♥

{{LANVIN}}

Hot Pink Mini Pop

I personally LOVE Lanvin, 

BUT

I am a fan of big purses, especially being a Momma now-

it just makes it easier to be able to have room for wipes, a sippy cup, 

 and diapers along with all of my stuff too!

SO while this purse is adorable, it's a bit too small for my liking-

BUT

I do however, think it would be PERFECT for my Prissy Pants!

She is OBSESSED with purses- and how cute would this be?

NOW, if only I could find a cute knock off!

{{if I do, I post up my finding!}}

HAPPY THURSDAY Ladies!
