Booze and Beauty

So this isn't really a post about accessories...but I'm sure all of my readers will appreciate it.  In my opinion, this is one of the best gifts EVER!  A make-up kit that includes wine = love.  Get it for $30 from Clos du Bois.

Turban Time!

About a month ago, I found a turban-style hat at Target that I absolutely loved.  On sale for $10.39, it was a steal and I deemed it as my new winter hat. Since it really hasn't been that cold, Sunday was my first time wearing it to run some errands and everyone loved it!  I've been back to Target and Target.com to find it in other colors with no success but here are a few other places you can grab one.

City Love

Personalized jewelry is a big trend, so why not personalize in a different way and represent your hometown (or current town)!  

A little birdie sent me this LivingSocial deal for a NY Metro Cuff which instantly inspired this post! :-)        

You can find this right now for $28 on livingsocial.com.

These city necklaces from Aminimal's Urban Gridded Collection were also featured on LivingSocial, but their home website has tons of cities. You can get earrings here too. 

(This one is of Washington, DC) 

One of my favorite websites right now, Etsy.com, has plenty of options for city jewelry but here are two of my picks. 

You can get any city map made into a personalized ring at Daisy Mae Designs Shop. 

I love the shadowed skyline look of these necklaces from the Plastique Esty shop. 

The best thing about all of this jewelry is that it's under $50 so shop away!  

Accessories Make An Easy Transition

My job's holiday party was last night.  Since I had to work during the day and wouldn't be able to go home and change before the party I needed to make my day-to-night transition quick and easy.  I accomplished this by simply changing my accessories.  At work, I put a long cardigan over my dress and wore some fun tribal pieces.  For the party I added a little bit of color with red suede booties and the colorful jewelry I featured in What I Wore....To A Wedding. To top it off I opted for a darker lip color and a little bit of eyeshadow.  In under ten minutes I was party ready! 

What's Your Sign?

I think this Rebecca Minkoff zodiac necklace is so cute! On a 16" chain, its delicate enough to wear with a few other necklaces but strong enough to stand on its own.  With the holidays approaching, this necklace would make a great gift for your friends!  

(Tip: Try it with another nameplate style necklace on a longer chain)

Closet Feature

$5. That's how much I paid for this fabulous multicolor snakeskin clutch! I love that you can wear it as a crossbody, wristlet or a clutch leaving it open for a ton of outfit possibilities. It serves as a great pop of color for all black or the perfect way to put the finishing touch on a color blocked ensemble.

What I Wore: Pearls and Kisses

I received so many compliments on my accessories today so I figured I'd share! This morning when I got dressed I knew I wanted to wear my black, gold and pearl multi-strand necklace combined with the necklace I took from my grandmother's jewelry box. But then I decided to take the girlie look up a notch and add this pink lip ring that I got from H&M and top it off with a bright lip of my own!

Fab 5: Call Me on My Cell

Your cell phone is definitely part of your accessory wardrobe, so why not decorate it as such?  

Here are a few of my favorites of the moment and where to get them.

I love the clean look of this grey and white snake print case from J. Crew. Grab it while its on sale!

This super girlie case speaks for itself! Find it at Bloomingdale's. 

With cute patterns and different fonts and monogram styles, these cases on etsy.com are a fun and unique way to personalize your phone.  

Functional and fashionable.  Find this phone wallet on Baker's Website. 

(Bonus: This case fits almost all phones and is on sale right now) 

Add a little flash to your phone with these crystal cases from amazon.com and nordstrom.com

500 Page Views...Whoo Hoo!!!

I would love to hear from and interact with you. Feel free to tell me what you want to see on the blog, ask me how to accessorize an outfit (pictures are welcome) or post anything else you would like to say about PLS in the comments section. I look forward to hearing from you all!

A Date with Charlie

I always look forward to going home to the DC/Maryland area. There's always something exciting (mainly time family and friends) there for me. But this time I was also looking forward to visiting Charming Charlie, an accessories megastore, since there isn't one in my immediate area. So I set a date with my wonderful girlfriend and we went out to Annapolis Mall.

To say that I was overwhelmed was an understatement. All I could say was "oh...oh". I ended up having to just take a walk around the store and soak it all in before I could even start shopping. It's huge, everything is organized by color and style and they have every accessory you could dream of and then some.

Of course, there were plenty of things I loved but here's what I walked away with. I didn't want to get much since I'm getting ready to do an accessory overhaul at home (stay tuned for more on that). But I'm tickled with what I did get.

This "Live, Love, Laugh" ring reminds me of the name rings of the 80's and who doesn't appreciate a constant reminder to do these three things! $7.97

I absolutely LOVE this ring! It's so perfect for me. It was marked down to $5 from $9.97 and the only one we saw in the store, so it was definitely meant to be!

If you can get to one, I strongly encourage you to go to Charming Charlie. You'll definitely walk away with something you love!
