We’re headed to Fort Lauderdale in one month, which is pretty much the perfect excuse to revamp my summer wardrobe with pieces like this adorable beach tunic (runs large) and the new bag I’m obsessed with. Gerard Yosca also sent over this necklace from his latest collection, Flowerball, which just might be the only gem I pack. (More on the new collection coming soon. It’s a good one!) Well, that and the monkey earrings.
As much as I love gigantic statement earrings, you’ll only see me wear them occasionally. Why? One of my biggest fears is becoming an old lady with droopy earlobes* after wearing them for decades. Thankfully, there are plenty of gorgeous button earrings that pack as much punch as their chandelier cousins. All of the studs featured here are by Gerard Yosca and they’re anything but boring. My favorites are the daisies. They’re the perfect amount of retro chic and would look fabulous with a shift dress this spring. Browse the entire collection of button earrings here and if you also love the daisy earrings, you’ll be smitten with the new Flowerball collection.

*Dave insists that there’s probably a surgery for that. If doctors can fix the earlobes of people who wear plugs, they can probably fix old lady lobes. And if I happen to develop them over time, you bet I’ll be hashtagging #OldLadyLobes on Instagram.
One of the best things about starting a new year is a chance to enjoy the gorgeous gifts received over the holidays! I certainly don’t want to be part of the sickening “holiday haul” posts (you’d think everyone would realize that the best part of the holidays is spending time with loved ones), but I do want to share just how well my boyfriend did with this J.Crew peacoat. I tend to wear my coats on repeat until they fall apart, so it’s nice to have an alternative to the green coat I’ve been wearing nonstop since last autumn (which, by the way, is indestructible). Paired with my beloved neoprene skirt and a striped shirt, I feel like I should be exploring London’s Notting Hill instead of hanging out in Madison.

[dropcap custom_class=”normal”]S[/dropcap]ometimes it’s nice to take a break from oversize statement pieces and reach for a daintier bauble, like these bracelets from Gerard Yosca’s “The Singular Bracelet” collection. They’re pretty enough to wear on their own, yet versatile for mixing and matching with other pieces. Best of all, the bracelets come in at an incredibly affordable price range of $45 to $80.
