This week, Maria Fé of the Layers of Meaning blog kicked off the sixth edition of her popular series entitled, “Through Her Eyes”. 

I am delighted to be a participant this month along with Erin of Your Pocket Stylist, Kirsten of 6th Street Design School, Paloma of La DolceVita, and Whitney of A Cheerful Disposition. This week’s feature (posted on Tuesday) was about “the purse essentials.”  The above photo is a peek of what’s in my bag. Be sure to click here to see the other ladies’ bags. Thanks again Maria Fé!

What items do you consider to be purse essentials?

HI,
I'M ERIKA.

Beyond the Blueprint is a curated journal where legacy, lifestyle, and intentional design converge.

Here, I share stories from the heart of my home and the homes I create—faith-filled reflections, family rhythms, wellness practices, and design inspiration rooted in grace and purpose.

From motherhood and marriage to the sidelines of Friday night lights, each entry offers a glimpse into the layered life I live—and the brands, spaces, and values that support it.

Whether you're here to be inspired, encouraged, or aligned, welcome. This is life beyond the blueprint
