layering baubles

May 22, 2013

{bauble bar necklaces – gifted glam garden bib and green victoria strand, burberry trench, vintage blouse, baldwin ‘the ten’ jeans, j crew etta pumps}

Sparkly, shiny, glittering baubles always give me an extra pep in my step. When I received this dripping with rhinestones Bauble Bar glam garden bib (doesn’t even the name sound just lovely?), I thought – the only way to make it any better – would to be add even more sparkle! For being such statement piece I’ve found myself reaching for it almost daily since receiving this gem a few weeks ago. Sometimes less is more, but when it comes to sparkle, sometimes, more is more.

See how my friend Kimberly styled it over on Penny Pincher Fashion.

striped jacket

May 21, 2013

{zara jacket, paige denim jimmy jimmy skinny, h&m spiked necklace (almost identical version here), audrey brooke heels, sunglasses from a nyc street vendor}

I’ve been on the hunt for more structured jackets lately as I’ve come to terms with my serious dependence on my jean jackets (as evidenced here, here, and here for starters). When I spotted this striped and little poufy shouldered number on my friend Meghan while in NYC a couple weeks ago, I had to snatch one up for myself. See how she styled hers up today here. But don’t expect to see any less jean jacket action anytime soon.

white denim

May 14, 2013

(old navy white rockstar skinnies, j crew wedges, bauble bar and sorrelli necklaces, kate spade watch, gucci sunglasses)

I do a little bit of writing on the side for the style section of DM Juice, a local weekly publication. In one of my articles this week, I take a look at 3 traditional style rules that I believe can be broken. The first one I listed is about wearing white – and how it’s no longer true that it can only be worn after Memorial Day. I’ve always adored a great pair of white pants, but love even more how it’s widespread a-ok to wear them year round now.

Today seemed like the perfect day (with temps that are supposed to hit the 90′s!) to step out in my newest white pair of denim for a coffee and (red velvet, s’mores, and lemon cream!) donut date with a girlfriend at Creme, a local favorite cupcake, coffee, and cocktail spot.
