Bauble of the Week

February 9, 2014 by jessica

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and in years past, I would have indulged in half a dozen bags of conversation hearts by now. I haven’t had a single one yet, which I credit to Easter candy sharing the shelf space. A conversation heart really can’t hold a candle to a Cadbury Creme Egg now can it? Even though I haven’t been up for V-day candy, I am up for lip motifs on my dress and by way of these adorable earrings. They’re only $65 and also come in silver. (Use code “HEARTYOU” for 20% off.)

On another note, I’m pleased to share the winner of the Chloe + Isabel giveaway! Sharon of The Tiny Heart is taking home the arrow necklace, just in time for the year’s most romantic holiday. Congrats!

Loving Lately

February 5, 2014 by jessica

Lately, I’m loving:

This necklace. And, lucky you, there’s still time to win one of your own.
A bubblegum pink skirt from Topshop. Blair wore it yesterday, which makes me assume it’ll look horrid on me. However, the polka dot jacquard is awfully tempting.
Finishing my state and federal taxes. Most of my return is dogeared for a vacation, part is going into a Roth IRA, and the rest is going toward this Coach bag (the first Coach bag I’ve liked in years). I don’t own a black day bag yet and this one seems large enough for a DSLR without being unwieldy. (I also received a promotion for $100 off a $300 purchase, so that helps.)
The Granny Alphabet by Tim Walker, which was featured on The Sartorialist yesterday. Doesn’t it look charming?

Bauble of the Week

February 2, 2014 by jessica

I’m rarely smitten with Banana Republic’s baubles, but this vintage-inspired aqua necklace is gorgeous. I love the ombre effect of the acrylic beads with a subtle string of rhinestones for just a bit of daytime glitz. Wear it now with a LBD and keep it in rotation as summer approaches. Wouldn’t it look divine with a breezy maxi dress?

Mini Moments

January 31, 2014 by jessica

Obviously I didn’t leave the house much in January, thanks to the biting cold of the polar vortex. At this point, I think we all deserve an early spring! Here’s hoping the groundhog doesn’t see his shadow in a couple of days.

In January, I…

Wore this Chloe + Isabel arrow necklace (enter to win one here)
Dreamed of a tropical escape
Purchased my first bouquet of tulips of the season
Won a lovely polka dot clutch from Kayu that I can’t wait to wear with these Julie Vos earrings
Spent a lazy morning in bed with the cat
Found a pretty cocktail dress at Express of all places
Layered two of my favorite everyday rings from Karen Hsiang and Cynthia Jones
Braved the polar vortex in a pair of bright wellies from Joules
Opted for a summery mani and pedi

Loving Lately

January 29, 2014 by jessica

Lately, I’m loving:

This delicate arrow necklace from Chloe + Isabel as an alternative to Valentine’s Day heart and lip prints. (But don’t worry, I’ll definitely be wearing my Erin Fetherston lip print dress on Feb. 14.) You can see how the necklace looks on here (so cute, right?) and you can enter to win one of your own here.
A couple of new pieces from LOFT. I was sucked in to their 50% off promotion last week and ordered a dress, a striped swimsuit and a floral blouse. The dress is on the thin side and shows every imperfection. It’s also huge. That’s obviously going back. The swimsuit is all kinds of perfect if you order one size up and have a small chest. (The reviewer who said that there’s enough room for an ample bust is a liar. I wear an A-cup and wouldn’t recommend this for anyone over a B.) The blouse was a wildcard add-on just for free shipping, but it turned out to be lovely in person. It’s on the sheer side, so you’ll have to wear a cami at the office.
My first Moda Operandi purchase. I just couldn’t say no to these Eddie Borgo earrings, especially when they’re scheduled to arrive around my birthday. (I also earned a nice bonus at work, so they’re a little treat before the rest of the money is allocated to practical things.)
