What I Wore....for an evening in NYC.

Thursday, I went out with my "city exploration buddy" to see How The Grinch Stole Christmas! The Musical and for drinks and appetizers at the 40/40 Club (courtesy of Living Social!).  I wanted to wear my new leather leggings so I paired them with a long grey sweater and leopard wedges.  I figured black and gold accessories would be the perfect accent to the muted color combination.

Rings: House of Harlow 1960 (left) and Forever 21 (right). I purchased both sets of the Forever 21 rings just so I could mix and match the metal colors.  
Bag: Coach from my Grandmother's closet :-)

I'm almost sure I got these leopard wedge booties from Go Jane. They are some of my favorites because they go with so much! You can find some similar ones here.

And here I am on the train adding my pop of color: red lipstick! 

My New Boyfriend.....Watch

I guess my post about watches brought me good luck as I just received my Michael Kors watch that I earned at work.  It's the MK Mercer watch and I'm in love! Its over sized but fits my wrist perfectly and the rose gold numbers add a little pizazz to the silver.  I can't wait to wear it!

Fab 5: Watches Under $50

I rarely talk about watches, but I definitely love them. So I figured I'd feature a few that I've come across that I think are great!  (Maybe some of these can be stocking stuffers!) 

For Something Different 

This two-face watch is perfect for someone who likes to be understated yet different.  I've seen this watch in person and the robin's egg blue is great!  Find it at Nordstrom for only $18.00. 

For the Jewelry Lover

The metal band on this Casio watch makes it great for combining with your favorite bangles and bracelets. 

For the Classic Lady Who Stays on Top of the Trends

 

Part boyfriend watch, part wear to work.  Find this modern two-tone stunner at Macy's.

For the Young at Heart

 

Hello Kitty is here to stay. For those of you who love her but aren't really into having a pink cat on display all the time this tortoise shell watch is perfect. Find it at Kohl's.

For the Secretly Sporty 

This RumbaTime Jane watch is a great feminine twist on a sports watch. 

Which one is your favorite?

A Minaudière Moment

Although, I don't officially own a minaudière (I've borrowed a few though) I definitely love them.  Once reserved for formal and cocktail events, they can be worn as statement bags any time of day or night. Since I've been seeing them a lot more lately I figured I'd share a few of my favorites and where to find them.

I love the round shape and half and half styling of this one from Nine West  $29.99

The tweed on this bag gives it a clever twist. Find it at Nordstrom $58

The cobalt blue on this Zappos ($88) clutch gives you a new neutral to play with.

Leave it up to Forever 21 ($21.80) to give us this fun heart shape. 

Try your minaudière with you favorite jeans, tee and leather jacket to add some edge or keep it classic with a dress.  

Website Highlight: Emily Elizabeth Jewelry

As I was flipping through some accessories on FabSugar.com I came across some adorable bee earrings.  This led me to the Emily Elizabeth Jewelry site.  The gold plated jewelry ranges from quirky to practical yet everything is so ladylike.  Here are some of my favorites.

Since my birthday is St. Patrick's Day I'm always a sucker for shamrocks and four-leaf clovers. 

Which is why I'm into this $42 lariat.  

This super cute hugs and kisses ring is on sale now for $20.  

The bee earrings are $30, but I ended up liking this $65 bee bangle even more! 

The site is having a 25% off of regular priced items sale right now so this would be a great time to head on over and browse!

Finally! A shoe named after me!

Well, not really, but I found these "Britt" booties in BCBG and instantly fell in love. The mixed snakeskin print and chain detail made me swoon. They are on sale right now in BCBG stores.

Awesome Nails

My coworker painted this festive design on her own nails, so I thought I'd share. Snowflakes and Santa's jacket...love! (Her right hand ring is great too!)

Today I Love....

this ring from Forever 21 so much I bought it and put it on right away.  The mixed metal and the floating ball illusion really won me over.  The $5.80 price tag was the icing on the cake.  Check your nearest Forever 21 for it!  (It was no longer available online)
