My Favorite Everyday Nail Color!

12 Jul

I’ve found the perfect year round everyday nail color. It’s a pinkish clear hue by Essie called Sugar Daddy. I LOVE this color. It’s almost clear but very light pink at the same time. It basically goes with everything and makes your nails look super healthy. I’m on my 2nd bottle and I never go through nail polish that fast. I was explaining it to a friend as the perfect color for everyone, from the color enthusiasts to the non polish wearing. It compliments all skin tones as well. I recommend you pick a bottle up to add to your collection!

Pretty Printed Shorts!

13 Jun

I can’t get enough of printed shorts lately. They are perfect for Summer and can be worn with t-shirts or tanks and sandals for the perfect warm weather look. On a recent trip to H&M, I saw so many cute pairs priced below $15!!!  Perfect prices to stock up or to try out shorts if you normally wouldn’t. I grabbed 2 pairs and they fit so cute and are were quite flattering. Below are just a few of the cute prints they have right now. Get shopping!

P.S. I’m on snapchat now- jfilkosky1   follow me:) Shop all looks below at H&MShorts1shorts2shorts3shorts5


Coveted Cuffs!

4 Apr

I often get asked about my “favorite” jewelry brands. That’s not easy to answer because so many jewelers are talented and make the cutest stuff! I will however, say that I definitely find myself wearing Giles & Brother Railroad spike cuffs time and time again. Like almost daily in fact. I wear them when I’m super dressy or casual. They are the perfect morph of understated & industrial meets elegant & pretty . These cuffs are for everyone(they are unisex) seriously, whether you’re edgy or super chic. They come in a variety of colors and sizes and look great alone or stacked. I have just about every finish and have never had a problem with tarnishing, but they do come in solid silver or gold, if you’re looking for a high end piece to last a lifetime.

Giles & Brother Railroad spike cuffs $75-$5,100

Bucket List!

10 Feb

I recently received my Mansur Gavriel bucket bag after almost two years of waiting. I’ve been wanting this bucket bag for a while and really love the black/flamma combination, which is lined in red leather. I love how simple the design is with a fun pop of color. The bags are highly coveted and made in Italy in small batches which is why they sell out SO FAST! I am totally obsessed with my new bag and wanted to share it with you along with an affordable alternative.

Must Have Fall Footwear Styles.

1 Sep

Is it September already??? Fall is right around the corner and I wanted to share my favorite Fall footwear styles with you. From cute & casual to sexy, these styles will have you covered throughout Fall and into Winter.

Click links below to shop the pictured shoes.

Booties: Booties are a MUST for Fall. (although I wear them year round) They are cute and comfy while giving you a slight lift with a 1-2 inch heel. Booties go with everything and you need some now! Stick to basics or get a pair with buckles or fringe, it’s up to you.

Trolley bootie

Lace up Flats: Lace up flats are so HOT right now, the comfortable, yet sexy spin on the traditional ballet flat will have you wanting a pair in every color!

kingdom

Leopard Pumps: As Jenna Lyons once said “leopard is a neutral” and I couldn’t agree more.  Leopard pumps will give any outfit just the right amount of oomph!

oaklee

Burgundy Pumps: Burgundy is such a rich beautiful hue and is the perfect alternative to red through the cooler months.

varcityy

Brown Riding Boots: I pretty much live in my riding boots from October-January. These comfy, chic boots can be worn over jeans and are great during the cold rainy/snowy months at keeping your feet warm and dry.

Fringe Stiletto Boots: One word…… Fierce!

flapper

Stylish Slip- Ons: I love grey for Fall, as well as texture. These textured slip- ons are the perfect statement sneaker for Fall.

Industrial chic Just got Better!

22 Apr

If you follow me on any social media platform, it is no secret that I have a small obsession with Giles & Brother railroad spike bracelets.  I have so many styles of jewelry that I wear from dainty to colorful to bold, but my all time love would be modern/minimal pieces.  The Giles & Brother railroad spikes are super minimal with a bit of edge. The railroad spikes come in three sizes Original(thick) Skinny(medium)and Mini(thin) my preference has always been the “skinny”size  but I recently ordered the mini and I love it, it’s super dainty and delicate. How could these bracelets possibly get any better you ask???? Well, they are now available in precious metals!!! YES!!!!  If you’re a jewelry connoisseur you can rock a SOLID GOLD G&B bracelet!!!  These bracelets are also unisex which is very cool!

G&B bracelets are available in different finishes including brass, hematite, yellow gold tone, rose gold tone and silver tone. Sterling silver is also an option and solid gold(rose & yellow).

I have been wearing my hinged glider bracelets for a couple of years now. I purchased the rose gold toned one from H&M and the gold tone one from Nordstrom.

Sadly, they have both since sold out but I still get plenty of questions about them and I’ve come across some very similar versions by Madewell that are affordable.
