The Best Jewelry from the Shopbop Sale

October 15, 2015 by jessica 4 Comments

Shopbop’s Friends & Family sale wraps up today with code INTHEFAM25. Don’t miss your chance to save 25% on favorites like Karen Walker sunglasses or the rhinestone beauties above. I couldn’t resist snagging the star ear climbers from the Jem and the Holograms collection at Shopbop. They’re just $22.50 after the discount and an incredibly fun way to pay homage to one of my favorite childhood cartoons.* (Although, I think I’ll skip the movie.) I also picked up this “darling” jewelry tray for my dresser.

*We had to draw self-portraits in preschool and I insisted on giving myself Jem’s signature pink hair. My teacher stifled my creativity and tersely told me that I had brown hair, not pink. I also recall her telling my parents about my irreverent ways when I was picked up that day. I still haven’t forgiven her.

Tickled Pink

The air conditioner at our office has been on the fritz, giving me an excuse to wear my favorite summer dresses to work. No, they’re not the most professional, but it’s one of the perks of working in a casual office. I wore this pink frock yesterday, the first day I was able to go partial weight-bearing on my cast. I still have to use crutches, but at least I could set them aside and spend a few minutes upright on my own! It’s the little things. Three weeks down, three to go, and then I can start enjoying summer.

Dress: Line & Dot
Wristlet: Tory Burch (similar)
Earrings: ASHA
Bracelet: c/o Julie Vos (also love this one)
Sunglasses: Karen Walker c/o Shopbop
Lips: Stila “Fiore”

Pineapple Pendant

June 23, 2015 by jessica 10 Comments

Even though there was a shipping delay on my birthday gift this year, it was worth the wait. Dave surprised me with this Lee Renee pineapple pendant. I first fell in love with the piece with I interviewed the designer back in February of last year and had no idea I’d be spoiled with it months afterward. Isn’t it just the cutest thing? It’s tiny, as you can see in the stock images, but the attention to detail is wonderful and it has a nice weight to it. The solid silver piece is handmade in London with an 18k gold plate.

Gerard Yosca’s Mesa Collection

May 29, 2015 by jessica 4 Comments

If it wasn’t already obvious by the Tory Burch tote (seen here) I’ve been using nonstop or the chambray dress I just purchased, I’m all about the ease of earthy colors and relaxed silhouettes this season. So, it’s probably comes as no surprise that Gerard Yosca’s latest jewelry collection, Mesa, captured my heart. The collection’s statement pendants and earrings are inspired by iconic American designs and a muted southwest color palette. It’s a trend that saturated the fall runways, giving you the perfect excuse to splurge on a piece now and wear it throughout this season and the next. Over the next two weeks, my new blog buddy, Cara, and I will be sharing how we wear and love Gerard’s latest collection.

The Coveted

May 20, 2015 by jessica 7 Comments

Before I delve into the items that caught my eye this week, there’s a huge event worth mentioning: Nordstrom’s Half-Yearly Sale. It’s your chance to snag spring and summer merchandise at up to 40% off. Some of my favorites include a black trapeze sexy ball gown prom dress, a work-appropriate satchel, a “Nudist” sandal knockoff (or get the real version in navy on sale here), and simple leather sandals by Tory Burch (metallics available here). Now that that’s squared away, here’s what caught my eye this week:

A zigzag eyelet shell in navy. Aside from this top, I’m disappointed in J.Crew’s new arrivals this month. Who’s going to pay $110 for an ugly yarn and seed bead choker? The product description says, “So if someone asks if you made it yourself, you have our permission to say yes.” I wouldn’t take credit for it and evidently J.Crew doesn’t want to either. And then there’s this. What the hell? And these! Because plastic in the summer is always a good idea.
Ben-Amun statement earrings. In fact, there are many gorgeous new arrivals from the designer on The Outnet right now. Most earrings are under $100.
A sweet little notebook. I’d like to start bringing a journal on vacations to record daily activities and observations. I usually assume Facebook is good enough, but I’m forgetful and a notebook is much more romantic.
Culottes! They’re so ridiculous, but I still want a pair. White would look pretty with that J.Crew shell… 😉 Shop a selection of white culottes and other white pants here.
A navy bucket bag. Navy is by far my favorite color, but I have yet to add a bag in the hue to my collection. I’m also obsessed with this bag. I saw it at the Tory Burch boutique last month and haven’t stopped thinking about it.
Iridescent slides on sale! I also love these and the iridescent version of the heels I wore to a wedding last month.
