Nelle entry [winner!]

There were SOOOOO many amazing boards this last week that it was incredibly hard to pick just 1 winner…but Laura of Nelle Handbags decided that this one from Sima J. was her favorite!  Here’s what she said…

“I fell head-over-heels for this board that uses the coral Tuxedo Cherub. The bold colors and soft textures represent a perfect visual balance for a day that should be both beautiful and fun! From the black and yellow shoes, to the soft full dress paired with a bold lip, this board illustrates a modern dose of classic elegance, everything that I hope my NELLE collection is.”

The rest of the week I’ll be showing some of our other favorites, so stay tuned, they’re amazing!  Congrats Sima!
