~From the Capitol de Beaute Instagram Files!!~
9:11 AMCapitol de Beaute Blog by Melanie WoodroffeI am not the pose in an outfit & take a photo person!
I want to offer a well-rounded view of stylish & beautiful things for you to see & let you make the decision of whether you love aesthetically & are inspired by it.
We can't love everything, but we can be creatively & visually guided by much!
And who knows?! What I share with you today, may be your muse tomorrow!
enjoy!

Keep your favorite things nice & secure with cute small accessories! They make a handbag happy!
Go for bright, printed makeup cases, change purses, key fobs & smartphone carries with a little pizzazz!
Or maybe a shimmering metallic {like my Kate Spade Passport Carrier} in gold, bronze or silver, Or just mix it up!
Go ahead, be bold! It's fun! Right?!
Enjoy,

{Kate Spade & Anthropologie}
{Anthropologie, Evian, Essie, Aerin}
{Brown leather vintage cigarette case makes a great coin carrier!}
NO to using for cigarettes, which is a terrible habit
& ages you ten fold in a matter of a couple of years, plus it stinks! Yuck!
{Adorable smalls from Dior, Milano & Vera Bradley!}
