Cute Colorful Studs!

28 Apr

I came across these cute Kate Spade stud earrings and had to share them with you all, they’re a very similar, smaller version of  her gumdrop studs that were a huge hit last year.  They are a great way to add some color to your look. If color is not your thing- this is the perfect “gateway” pair of earrings for you.

Available at Zappos and Kate Spade $38

IIIBeca by Joy Gryson Handbag Collection!

5 Mar

As you all know, I love a great handbag! Handbags complete your look and carry your “life” around for you!  What more can a woman want?  Once in a while a handbag comes around that has quality construction and is accessible to most budgets! Handbag designer Joy Gryson’s line IIIBeca is exactly that!  Not a single bag in the collection is over $200- talk about accessible!  I might be going out on a limb here when I say this, but these bags can hang with Hermès and Valextra creations in my opinion! ( Go ahead….google Valextra bags right now) The craftsmanship is impeccable and the clean, classic silhouettes are timeless!  You will own these bags for a loooooong time!  Ok~ now onto my other delightful piece of information about this collection…….. 3% of the proceeds go to three different NYC charities chosen by Gryson herself for a total of 9% being donated from the sale of each bag!  How cool is that?

Below are my favorite styles in the collection.

What to Wear to a Summer Wedding (Dresses fit for the occasion)

12 Jun

Wedding season is upon us and the invites should be arriving in your mail boxes around this time. The dreaded question is always “what do I wear to a summer wedding?” You want to look great without taking away from the bride, that’s the goal. You want something that can easily transition from day to evening without being overdressed. A lot of summer weddings are outdoors so that brings a sense of “casual” that you just don’t have during other seasons, and that is great to work with when deciding on an outfit.

Let’s start with some basics

Do

* Wear sleeveless, you won’t overheat

*wear something sexy, yet tasteful

*wear pretty polka dots, fun florals and summer colors like greens, peaches, yellows and pinks.

*keep a wrap or pashmina in the car for transition to evening

Don’t

*wear anything too low cut

*wear white, unless the bride specifies

*wear a tight dress, fitted is different from tight. If you wouldn’t wear it in front of grandma, don’t wear it to a wedding.

P.S. heels are totally acceptable, even if you have to practice walking in grass first!

Skirts and tops always work for weddings but I prefer dresses, I think a dress, even a “casual” style brings a sense of grace to your look and appears a bit more polished. Also, when you involve separates you basically increase the chance for disaster with each piece you add, and so much more thought has to go into it. 1 piece is easier than 2, it’s as simple as that.

Here are some looks to inspire you
