Rebecca Minkoff made use of many textures, bold patterns and colors in today’s show and the live performance of Janelle Monae was so COOL! The accessories were great as I expected and I loved all the separates as well! Below are some of my favorite looks from the collection!
How cute are these braided updos??!!!!
I’m so in love with lilac nails lately! The pale purple shades looks great on all skin tones and is so feminine. Lilac is a nice way to incorporate some purple into your wardrobe without going into dark grape territory. Ranging from pale pinkish hues to deeper greyish hues, there is a lilac for everyone. What lilac shade works for you?

Just in case you’ve been sleeping under a rock- metallic pumps are HUGE for Spring & Summer, namely silver. I did a post on the blingy beauties a couple of weeks back and decided today to go to target to purchase their Vivian heel for $29.99 which is an amazing price considering that the Jimmy Choo version retails for $625 and the “affordable” alternative J.Crew version retails for $255, so if you’ve been wanting to try this trend and you’re on a budget, now’s the time! Run to your local Target store.
My Target visit started with me being so bummed that I didn’t find the pump I came for, then quickly turned to pure JOY when I took a look in the clearance section and there they were for $8.98!!!!!!!!! I was more than fine with the $29.99 price but this was such a pleasant surprise that I wasn’t going to argue with! On trend heels for under $10 including tax- I had to refrain from doing cartwheels out of the store!
Jimmy Choo Abel metallic pump $625 at Saks.
Mossimo Vivian metallic pump $29.99 online and $8.98 in stores at Target.
Let me also add that this Target photo does these heels no justice, they look quite dull when in reality, they are super metallic and shiny! I literally just left target and all I have is an iPhone pic, but you can see that they are indeed shiny!
It’s that time again……Instagram roundup! Check out my latest Instagram pics and follow me @ yourstylejourney for more! Have a great day:)
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

I love a good statement bracelet ,especially during Spring and Summer where the wrists are almost always exposed. As the days get warmer, we often turn to lighter fabrics and much less clothing overall-bringing the perfect opportunity to jazz up your look by going a little nuts on the jewelry. Statement bracelets really are for everyone. If you are not comfortable stacking bracelets, statement bracelets are for you, just one bold piece delivers oomph to your outfit without any effort. If you are a serial stacker like myself, just throw these bracelets on your other wrist!

Earlier this year I announced my “colors of the year”- Emerald and Lavender were the frontrunners and I still feel the same way. I have been pretty obsessed with purple anything lately but am partial to the light & feminine lavender hue in particular…the pretty pastel screams Spring and is so adorable! There is no better way to incorporate new colors into your wardrobe than with a gorgeous new bag! Lavender pairs especially well with camel, navy, white and other pastels and is quite versatile for a candy color. Love color? wear your lavender bag with a floral dress or pant for the ultimate Spring look.
