I couldn't have said it better myself...



Alternate Accessories: Wear a Tie!

This past weekend, my dear girlfriends came to visit me for a night on the town in New York. One of my friends wore a tie as her accessory and it looked fantastic! It just goes to show that you don't have to stick with conventional jewelry to wear great accessories!

Accessorize for a Good Cause

I've been seeing plenty of items recognizing October as Breast Cancer Awareness Month and I thought this Betsey Johnson ring was too cute so I had to post it. I love the little kiss at the tip of the ribbon!  What's even better is that a portion of the proceeds go to Fashion Targets Breast Cancer. Buy yours and contribute to the cause at amazon.com


Today I Love...

This Bar III ring I found at Macy's. I love that the feather flows down your hand instead of the typical finger covering ring. It comes in both gold and silver. Click here to grab one!

Fab 5: Scarves

Scarves are not just for bundling up in the winter. Here are my five best (and easiest) ways to wear scarves.  

Silk Scarf: Wear a silk scarf around your neck with a blazer for a classic, polished look.


Infinity Scarf: The best thing about infinity scarves is that they are so easy to wear, but you can also wear them different ways.  (I love this idea of wearing one as a shrug!) 


Headband Scarf: Perfect for, but not limited to, bad hair days! And just like the infinity scarf there are endless ways to wear this. 


 Pocket Square: Borrow this look from the boys for a cool addition to your ensemble. 


Handbag Scarf: In the event that you don't want to or can't incorporate a scarf into your actual outfit, tie one around your purse for a pop.

Traveling Jewelry

I always find great jewelry when I travel.  But what's even better is when other people travel and bring jewelry back for me!   These earrings came from a good friend who had the wonderful opportunity to travel to Kenya and my significant other brought this bracelet back from the Dominican Republic.  Although I've owned both of them for a while and have worn both of them separately, yesterday I realized that they matched and decided to wear them together to liven up my black work attire. I'm traveling again soon and can't wait to see what I find for myself!

Closet Feature: My new necklace

I think it's safe to say that I'm addicted to statement necklaces. So when I saw this one by Ali Khan in Macy's for $10 I definitely had to grab it. I can't wait to wear it with a plain dress or with a white blouse. You can get it online, although it will definitely be cheaper in the store.
