I just returned from spending several weeks in California for a family reunion. Yay!   It was beautiful in central Cal with temps in the  mid to high 70’s.   The weather reminded me of Indian Summer instead of Fall.  The only hint of Fall was found in the myriad of picture windows showcasing Fall fashions.    My Mom, siblings, and I had a wonderful, fun-filled time.   It was so tough to say good-bye.      And as all things must, my vacation ended on returning home to welcoming Fall rains and colors.

Of course, while there, I bought black jeans that  have a California girl vibe — a throwback to the days of bell-bottoms with a modern twist.  They are frayed and studded tulip hemmed jeans that are just too sassy!      I’ve received several complements and enjoy wearing them.

While out and about I had to pay attention to the types of bags women were carrying and observed that cross-body bags of various sizes and colors were the norm.    The streets were certainly not awash with stilettos.  The women were much more casual in their attire.   California is so inspiring with the  trends and color schemes abounding everywhere you go.  I left there inspired  to develop new bag designs.   So stay tuned.

I’ve added a few new handbag designs with more to come.  However, that being said, custom orders are keeping me busy these days so there might be a delay in new arrivals.    So while here look around Belia Grace and check out our newest bags and specials.

Blessings to you today and every day!
