J.Crew - I love you.

I am feeling talkative today.

Remember when I showed you this disaster of a photo portraying my jewelry collection...

Well you could say I have an obsession for accessories - sometimes a good necklace and a few bracelets are all you need.

Continuing with my love for J.Crew from the previous post - I thought I would go over some amazing pieces that I feel really stand out in their new collection.

J.Crew is marketing "the Rule of Three" for necklaces this July (which is a rule I have heard in the past) with CHUNKY necklaces. Very khuel.

the Crystal Steps necklace. $128 Art Deco, Chic.

the Coveted Pearl Necklace. $85 Vintage baubles.

the Motley Chain Necklace. $70 Layers of Chain!

the Majesty Ladder Bracelet. $68

the Crystal Milano Bracelet. $60

How great would those 2 look stacked together?

Remember when I showed you this bracelet designed by one of my favorites, Elizabeth Cole?

Well, J.Crew made the wise decision of teaming up with designer

Dana Lorenz of Fenton/Fallon

and created these beauties for J.Crew...

Fenton/Fallon for J.Crew Rumpled Rhinestone Bracelet. $125

Fenton/Fallon for J.Crew Mixed Chain and Pearl Bracelet. $95

Did you catch those prices?

These sweet angel earring will got with anything & everything,

Pearl Jewel Box Earrings. $68 Precious


And I probably couldn't pull off these Fenton/Fallon for J.Crew Jaws Earrings

but I would sure give 'em a try!

What to Wear: 4th of July!

This is going to be short because I already have an idea of what to wear, so that being said...

I recently purchased this dress from J.Crew - silk, racerback, cute little pocket, comfy.

This was the cutest image I could find, and ultimately the look I'm going for.

The Marlie Racerback Dress in Navy.

$128

Paired with this belt from J.Crew, I actually have one similiar but it is snake skin and a brighter yellow gold. $35
And, to make sure I am extremely festive, I need a poppy red cardigan like this one.
J.Crew offers a longer version that is actually on sale in Sweet Guava. That color sounds nice. Originally $62, on sale for $30!

Secret: I found one similiar from Target in a color that I LOVE, poppy red goes with everything & is always preppy.

OR I own these, the Bridgette shorts from J.Crew. Just in case I want to extend this 4th of July outfit through the weekend. $49.50

Paired with this shirt would be ideal. $85

However, I also have a similiar style from Target.

The only shoes I will be wearing this weekend are my old faithful, Rainbows.
Which did you know are guaranteed for LIFE. Yep.

So that's my idea, what you do you think? Will I be festive enough?


And to leave you with a couple more pictures that make me happy...

(even tho she is an odd ball, Martha does good).

What are your plans for the 4th?

What to Wear: Weddings!

Since we are well into wedding season, I'm sure the majority of you are feeling the pressure of "what the heck am I going to wear to this thing?" Well trust me, I feel your anxiety.

With 3 weddings coming up this summer, I am feeling the stresssssss. If I want to continue this fashionista persona I need to find some killer ensembles.

This begins with the dress...

my most difficult decision is do I want pattern and color?

Shoshanna

Tibi

Alice + Olivia

Milly

Theory

Or should I stick with something more neutral?

Alice + Olivia

Nanette Lepore

Or just stick with black so I can not feel chubby and drink a few more cocktails?

Marc Jacobs

Nanette Lepore

Shoshanna

And then, shoes??? Oh my gosh, shoes.

Like these, Elizabeth and James poppy lovers. Soft leather, so feminine. I also think this color goes great with everything. I think I need these either way.

Or some LAMB platforms? So I can feel REAL tall and model-esk.

Or stay safe with these Pelle Moda badboys? I just don't know.

Ok, what's next - handbags? I would prefer a nice shoulder bag that way my hands are free to carry 2 drinks, or 1 drink and some finger food.

This Chanel looks good to me, but come on lets be serious people.

I LOVE this color; so feminine. Adorable cushioning and soft leather. Yum.

Or this DVF cracked gold leather foldover clutch. Gold is my go to, it pairs well with every dress, shoe, jewelry, etc. It's also uber sophisticated and cool.

I can always go with old faithful, Tory Burch.

My favorite and last addition to my cool ensemble will be earrings, and that will be the only jewelry that I wear. I just have to make sure they are big and awesome...

LOVE these Fallon rhinestone drop dagger earrings - very edgy.

I have to say though, I am a stud girl. These Dannijo are easy to handle, you don't have to worry about them getting caught in things. I love the sunburst shape of these and this picture doesn't do them justice because they are HUGE.

These Soo Ihn Kim beauties are a nice mix of stud and drop. I love the thin metal chains, very airy and light.

Any and all of these would be ideal for my wedding wardrobe. Now, I think I need to ask for a raise.
