ShowsToppers

I think every girl feels like they have a closet full of clothes and nothing to wear sometimes. And it is probably not true, but things can feel tired or lame. Most likely you have great pieces that can work again and again, but maybe just need something to spice it up. Enter the statement clutch and statement earring. These babies can make you feel like you have a whole new look with something you have worn again and again. And they work for any occasion. Maybe with your favorite jeans/blazer combo for dinner or with that ten year old LBD for a holiday party. Even things that are splashy and fun can become a classic in your closet...

3. I love the navy update on this classic gold Marc watch. Marc Jacobs $250

Statement Skirt

While a great dress can be an easy look to put together, a skirt can give you many more options to change up your style this summer. I am a sucker for a great fitting statement skirt. What I love about them is you can pair with simple tops already in your closet and neutral sandals, sky high or flat. Here are the ones I am coveting right now. 

1. Gap $49 / 2. J. Crew $156 / 3. Club Monaco $145 / 4. Asos $65 / 5. River Island $95 / 6. Topshop $90

These could all easily be paired with your favorite tank or soft chambray shirt. 

Tank: J. Crew $22  Shirt: Cloth & Stone  $88

Plus neutral heels to keep it simple. 

 From Left: Tory Burch $195 / Stuart Weitzman $398 / Ancient Greek $220

Happy Skirting.

Holiday Gift Guide 2013: Something Sparkly

I was not sure I was going to do gift guides this year, but I looked back on last season and it was a busy time here on the blog. So I put a few together that I hope you all enjoy. Plus, it helped me put my wish list together which I will share with you later. 

Up first are some sparkly and sensible (at least price wise) pieces that every girl you know would love. From Mom to your sister to your friend. I added a couple of them to my list, but truly I want every single one of them! 

Oh and for the boys out there, any of these would be a hit with your lady. 

1. The perfect addition to an arm party by Giles & Brother ($95)

2. This Lucite cuff with studs and crystals is part bad ass, part pretty from J. Crew $126

3. This bow bracelet is so genius by Kate Spade ($78)

4. This bracelet has such a great vintage vibe from J. Crew ($86)

5. I gifted this lovely last year and have one myself. Jennifer Zeuner ($132)

6. These are INSANE and would make a fantastic statement by Dannijo ($470)

7. I love the mix of vintage and neon on these earrings from J. Crew ($79)

8. A new take on the classic studs by Auden ($138)

9. Major statement piece without being gaudy. LOVE it  J. Crew ($96)

10. Something pretty to protect from all the badness out there Bauble Bar ($36)

11. A long gilded horn is classic and fun to mix with other necklaces Kenneth Jay Lane ($88)

12. A fresh take on the signet ring from Bauble Bar ($32)

13.  A delicate ring I am obsessed with from Jacquie Aiche $125

Side note: How great are these jewelry cases from West Elm? Kind of the perfect way to display your fave pieces on your nightstand or dresser. 

Did you find something for a person on your list? Or maybe just forwarding this link to your man? ha

Happy Shopping!

Weekend Wish

Easter weekend and still chilly. Nothing new here in Chicago, but even just the glimmer of the 40s, makes me happy. At least the sun should shine for Sunday and maybe the little guy will be into his first egg hunt. 

In the meantime, I am lusting after this jewelry designer out of Hong Kong that I found on Etsy. Instead of buying a new dress for that wedding you have coming up or maybe you are looking for the perfect statement necklace for your next event, check out these ridiculous pieces from Bayila. They would be absolutely perfect with a dress you probably already own and with this glimmering on top of it, no one would ever notice you wore it twice. 

These last two are what I have my eye on. 

Can you believe how gorgeous? And for the price of what you would probably be spending on that new dress. Going to go through my closet and find the perfect dress to wear these with so I can splurge on one. They are too gorgeous. 

Happy Weekend!
