Officially Connected

When I found out I won the DVF Harper Connect bag (via LuckyFABB), I was in literal shock. Diane brought one of her exclusive bags to the Lucky Conference with her and we were told at the end of the day we could win one by tweeting “I love the DVF Harper Connect because…” Here’s my magical, winning tweet!

I love the DVF Harper Connect because it impeccably defines Diane herself: stylish, beautiful, and innovative! #LuckyFABB.

The bag is absolutely gorgeous; the photos don’t do it justice. From the little details, and the iPad slot – yes, it’s that awesome – it’s an absolutely dream bag. Perfect for my up and coming profesh career! It’s already accompanied me on job interviews and some outings, like this one.

The bag came with a little note!

This outfit mixes all my favorite pieces and trends from summer and transitioning into fall: arm party, statement jewelry, animal print, military inspired, and stripes. This JCrew cotton dress was a complete staple for me this summer – I threw it on when I just felt like I had “nothing to wear”. I also scored the popular Old Navy vest at half off a few weeks ago (see, waiting sometimes is the best thing to do).

Outfit Details:
Dress: Jcrew (similar)
Vest: Old Navy 
Shoes: Bamboo (similar)
Bag: gifted DVF Harper Connect
Necklace: gifted Ideeli via Lucky FABB (similar)
Wishbone Necklace: gifted BaubleBar
Bracelets: Assorted gifted Shoppalu, gifted via Lucky FABB, AEO
Wrap Watch: gifted La Mer via Lucky FABB
I have quickly become obsessed with the vest, and leopard is now a neutral in my closet. I can’t get enough of these sparkly jewels either- I’ve been wearing it with chunky sweaters, (now that’s it’s finally a little chilly out!) collared shirts, and dresses. Oh, and how can I forget these gorgeous Tom Ford Rania sunglasses?! Yes, I won those at the Lucky FABB conference too, thanks to the Marshall’s sponsor booth! I was squealing with excitement, since I have always wanted a pair of TF’s.

Thank you so much to DVF + Lucky FABB for even giving us the chance to win this gorgeous bag. I feel so honored to have won it. Now, I just need an iPad to really complete the look. 🙂
xxx,
Marissa

    You lucky girl! I saw the bag in another photo (on Twitter maybe?), but I didn’t realize you’d won it! I’d be super jealous if it weren’t so well deserved. 🙂

    ooh – that is my favorite DVF bag…love that it came with a note. Congrats!

    I am wearing that Old Navy vest right now…I waited and waited for it to go on sale but finally broke down last month and bought it full price. It was worth it though. Very cute with that J Crew dress.

    Awesome bag, and awesome look, girl! Way to incorporate so many trends (and BDIB challenges) into one perfectly chic look! Gorgeous sunnies, too.

    I noticed your posts are all really reward-style link heavy now. I know your posts didn’t tend to be so affiliate link heavy in the past, so I thought I’d let you know that it is looking like a little much, just from my perspective. You know I’m all for making money on your blog (obv!) but I just wanted to point that out, that it’s looking like a bit much. Hope you don’t mind my saying so!

    Thanks for your sweet comment on my latest post. I’m lucky to have readers and friends like you to buoy me up through my hardest days.

    xoxo Kristina
