betsey johnson mini reviews (purse, earrings, and perfume)

Some designers pride themselves on creating pieces that are classic and sophisticated. Other designers just want to enjoy fashion. Betsey Johnson certainly falls into the latter category. My favourite Betsey quote is: "Always have fun with fashion. Dress to entertain yourself." There is so much sadness, fear, and hurt in this world...and I love that her designs are a stark contrast to that. They are a celebration! That is one of the many reasons Betsey Johnson is my favourite fashion designer. I love her aesthetic and the playfulness of her pieces. Since all of my loved ones are well aware of how much Betsey means to me, it is no surprise that I was gifted some Betsey pieces over the holiday season. Lately, those items have been put to good use. Ready to take a look? Here are some current favourites and some mini reviews. 

Betsey Johnson Black and Pink Embroidered Purse. The first item was a beautiful purse. Though there are a lot of purses in my closet...this one stands out. Not only for the design, but because of the size. This purse looks fairly small, but it actually holds an awful lot. It is nice to have a bag that isn't bulky or oversized, but will still easily hold everything that I want or need to take with me. As for the design itself? Love! This has lots of Betsey inspired details. There are pale pink straps, short gold chains, a gold logo plate on the front, and a pale pink embroidered design. On the side? There are black and white stripes with polka dots scattered throughout. This is a really fun design that has a little bit of everything going on. 

Betsey Johnson Gummy Bear Earrings and Necklace. I have mentioned in the past that I love junk food inspired fashion. So, the gummy bear accessories set was really the perfect gift. It came with a pair of red gummy bear earrings (which are ideal for any time of year, if you ask me, but I did wear them on Valentine's Day) and a gummy bear necklace. The necklace has a gold chain and alternating red and green gummy bears. The necklace also has glitter sprinkled on top, which makes them look extra fun and fabulous. These pieces are a quick and easy way to add a bit of whimsy to any outfit. 

Betsey Johnson Betseyfied Perfume. The last item included in this Betsey Johnson post is a perfume called, Betseyfied. First of all...I love the name. Second of all, I love the packaging. The outer box is covered in black glitter and has hot pink lettering. The bottle itself is simple, but has lots of Betsey inspired details, like the pink and black colours, the dynamic lettering, and the lightening bolt charm. As for the scent? This is shockingly sophisticated, but still has a playfulness to it. I would describe it as a warm formal. It would be best suited for the spring season...and I intend to wear it whenever the mood strikes. 

Betsey Johnson has so much to offer. From purses to accessories to fragrances, clothes, shoes, makeup and well, everything...her designs are proof that it is always possible to infuse a little fun into your life.
