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?
