Its time for a NEW Fashion Forward Challenge this week, and we want you all to break out your camera’s and join in the fun. Our theme for the week is “What’s in your Bag?” and it’s as simple as that. Basically we want everyone to dump out their purses and showcase what’s in your bag? It will be fascinating and fun! Let’s see what we all just can’t live without!

*To participate please post your “Purse Contents” on your own personal blog, with picture and link back to this Challenge url. Once you blog your reply to the Challenge, come back to Boutique Cafe and list your blog link our comments so we can all come to view your post! It’s a fun way to get traffic to your personal blogs + we all get to know each other a little bit better.
