One of the things that I love most about my look is that I like to blend a lot of styles that may not seem to work and yet they do! I am all about a retro/vintage look - so I'm always interested in whatever Anthropologie happens to carry at the moment (at one time being a manager at the Rockefeller Center came in handy seeing the ever changing collection. I love that this top has a lot of embellishment and is super simple to pair over jeans or leggings. Of course, it's essential to have a great pair of Hudson Jeans. What I love about this pair is that they have a black coating which has a bit of a rocker look which makes your outfit go to the next level in terms of an edgy look.
Now with this retro top paired with the rocker chic pants, accessories are called for to take this look a head turning presentation. I love python and this gorgeous bag from CC Skye is a huge bag and one that is definitely classic. With the gold embellishments on the bag, you'll want to have a piece by Victoria Tillotson who is not only a fab jewelry designer but a teacher at the School of Visual Arts here in NYC. Not only would I love to wear this cuff but it says a lot as I typically love wearing sterling silver as opposed to gold. Finally to complete this look, I love the heels by Jessica Simpson which have a great retro femme effect. I feel that python is the perfect way to add a classic element to a look while making it pop and together all of this works well whether you're going out for drinks, meeting with investors, doing a run through of a show and more! Take some time to check out looks and to click the links above as well.
When I'm not running around the city, I love my weekends when I'm hanging out at our beach house in Long Beach! That means wearing lounging clothes throughout the day (you know that I love Victoria's Secret and their Pink collection and this long tank is perfect), getting some reading done (Julie & Julia looks like such a great movie that I want to read the book first) and to enjoy some amazing beverages. These glasses are from CB2 and are in a set of 6 with these super cute vintage labels! Although it's definitely hot out there, in Long Beach there is always a bit of wind (and I'm always on the balcony) so having a hoodie is an essential for the residents of our beach village - one again, it has to be Pink. So with the weekend around the corner, I think that we all need to find a way to enjoy our days off in the most relaxing way possible!
I am starting to embrace a type of accessory that has been very foreign in my closet! Although I liked looking at pearls, I never thought it would be something that I would wear. This all changed when Moon River Pearls reached out to me! Who knew that pearls could transcend so many styles and provide so many looks? I love layering my pieces with chokers or other bangles. The pearls that are shown below are full of color and go from Little Black Dress to an extremely casual outfit with jeans and there is absolutely no granny factor here! Visit the site and although there are the traditional pearls, I love that they have great looks that are outside of the box - you'll never look at pearls the same way again!
This week we have an amazing giveaway of 4 Mistral Soap bars for 4 lucky winners! To receive this luxury soap, you'll need to read the post from earlier this week on our giveaway that kicked off on Sun. As mentioned on this post, I became acquainted with this company while working as a manager at Anthropologie. I love that it has Shea Butter within its soaps and that there are so many scents that this makes the perfect gift to give to many people that you know from thanking people for allowing you to stay at their beach house to beginning to think about the holidays as the year is flying by!
Speaking of gifts, they have a section where you can either create your own basket or you can choose various sizes and decide upon a scent. When I saw this I instantly thought about gifts that someone creates at work! I know that many times there are price restrictions in terms of gifts and many times, a company may look at getting a great gift for $50. Fortunately this Medium sized baskets which has Grapefruit shown but there are others available, fits right in this price point. Within this basket, the intended recipient will receive a Shea Butter Soap, A Hand Soap and also Lotion as well. This is so cute and who wouldn't love the container and its overall presentation. Of course, if you are doing a special gift, you can make your own basket as well. I love this amazingly vintage approach to this company and encourage you to visit the giveaway link if you have yet to submit your comment to the post and of course visit Mistral to see all the scents that you're missing out on!
I Love Lucy, Anthropologie and a lot of those ultra femme looks that bring the past into the present! There is something to be said about having an ultra girly look to go out for brunch, a rooftop party and much more. It sets you apart without a doubt. If you love this kind of look whether you love that which is from the Flapper Days of the 30's or super cute dresses from the 50's - Unique Vintage, is your store!
I love wearing dresses like this because I think that it shows the figure so well and looks amazing with peep toe pumps. This black and white polka dot dress is my absolute favorite from this site. I love the halter back and the bow (oh so Lucy) and I love that it zips up the back, has some ruching and is a little stretchy in the fabric. Of course you can have a cocktail party as well and pair it up with a cute apron from Anthropologie. As you walk around, you can also wear a super cute clutch with this as well which is another great touch. In addition to this style, there are so many other fab pieces that are definitely affordable that you should begin to include within your closet!
One of my favorite movies and books is Memoirs of a Geisha. I love learning about another culture and period of time while also enjoying amazing outfits! There is something about this movie that inspired a variety of designers and beauty giants (I loved Fresh's collection which was absolutely amazing). Now this super cute A-Line clutch from Holland Cox is called 'Geisha Girl'! The exotic colors make you think of an amazing island. Not only is the color AMAZING but I love the vintage kimono silk which will look amazing with so many outfits (hello red carpet no matter where you go). Make sure you support local indies by showing the love by making some great purchases that everyone will love seeing you come and go in!
I have been and always will be a fan of Wonder Woman. I used to love watching her when the show was on TV (and I love that it's out on DVD). If you're out and about with me, you know that I love my graphic tees. Nothing is better than being out and about during the weekend wearing any number of comfortable outfits. We're still in that great season where we can enjoy wearing a sweatshirt. Now with it being football weekends as well, this shirt is PERFECT to go to your friend's when you KNOW that you don't have anything that's team oriented. I love how this piece looks vintage, has that jersey look to it and is perfect to be layered with a super long tank top. So as you speed from Whole Foods to picking up puppy biscuits before your big game, make sure you pick this up at your local Forever 21 or online as well.
We love hearing from you! Suggestions, ideas and thoughts are always welcome.
