As it gets progressively colder outside, I find that it takes a little more effort to style an outfit that is actually warm yet also stylish, especially since it will most likely be hidden under a puffy coat for most of the day…
The Neckerchief
Over the past couple of years, I’ve noticed that I have slowly stopped wearing a lot of my jewelry, such as chunky necklaces or tons of bangles. Instead I have been gravitating towards delicate chains that I can layer, stackable rings and tiny earrings…Read more

Lately I have been noticing that I am really not that into wearing a ton of “loud” jewelry anymore, which is weird because I used to LOVE wearing big statement necklaces or layering tons of bangles with my watch. Don’t get me wrong, I still love accessorizing with jewelry, but am transitioning into daintier, more classic, simple pieces that I hope to have for a long time. That seems to be my theme lately, but that’s for another blog post. :)
I have a mix of inexpensive and pricier little earrings, but have been on the lookout to find even more favorites because I love playing around with mixing and matching them now that I have three holes in each ear. Right now, I am loving pieces from Melissa Joy Manning (I love her little “hug hoops” and can sleep in them comfortably), Ariel Gordon, Catbird, Kendra Scott, Bauble Bar, H&M, and Forever 21 for a range of prices and styles. (If you have really sensitive ears, it might make sense to invest in a couple pairs of really nice studs that are made of a metal that won’t irritate your skin, so keep that in mind when browsing around.)
Now I want to hear from you guys! What kind of jewelry are you into right now? Do you have any places that you shop for dainty jewelry that I need to know about? I would love to hear, so leave me a comment below! xoxo
P.S. If you live in New York and are looking to pierce your ears (or anything else really) head to New York Adorned and schedule an appointment with Colby. He is so good at making the process basically painless with his calm and reassuring nature, and he is really good at hole placement so that everything looks symmetrical.
The Weekly Edit
Happy Wednesday! So, for those of you that saw this series last week, you know what it’s all about. But since it’s new, for those of you that are just joining us, I just want to quickly explain what to expect every Wednesday from now on. :)
I am introducing something called The Weekly Edit. This is in no way a new concept in the fashion industry or the blog world, but I love the way it sounds and have wanted to create a consistent weekly shopping post for a while now, so that is what I have decided to call this series.
It will focus on my favorite sites, highlighting my favorite pieces, and I will change and rotate the sites and selections every Wednesday with different styles and price points, so hopefully there will be something for everyone!
Now without further adieu, I bring you this week’s Weekly Edit!
Happy shopping! xoxo

I am really excited about today’s video because it was really fun for me to make, but also shares tips on how to step up your style simply by adding on a few accessories. I start out by wearing a basic white t-shirt and jeans and don’t add any other clothing to change each overall look.

My Outfit: That’s So Clutch
Urban Outfitter’s Earrings / Frames (East Village Shop) / Urban Outfitters Scarf / H&M Top / Zara Vest / Forever 21 Jeans / Zara Terez Clutch / Steve Madden Caryssa Heels
Hello, loves! Sorry for the radio silence, I was traveling back from a long weekend in Cape Cod for a friend’s wedding. And now, I’m flying home to Seattle this morning (woo!), for a lovely two weeks with the family, and to attend another wedding! But before I left, I was lucky enough to snag this new Zara Terez clutch before I hopped on a plane to head out west. I collaborated with Tweet My Bag and Zara, the designer, and am showcasing this bag for the next week or so. All week long, there will be giveaways from Zara, all you have to do is upload a photo to Tweet My Style to enter! Also, check out Closetista, where Zara’s bags will be sold at a discount starting today at 12pm. I definitely recommend checking it out!
Regarding Zara’s collection, I have to say, when I was first shown her bags, specifically the Nolita clutch, I instantly fell in love with the shape and all the different colors it came in. I chose the hand-embroidered tapestry version because of the mixed eclectic pattern. And, not only is the outside of the bag gorgeous, but Zara spares no detail even when it comes to the inside of the bag. See below…
It’s like a disco ball inside!
As for the ensemble du jour: I like stripes, I like nude/peach/blush-colored items, and I like bold patterned scarves, especially when used in place of a statement necklace. So, basically I just combined a few of my favorite things and this is what emerged. To be honest, I got dressed in about five minutes, with minimal makeup and my hair pinned back in a bun, before running out the door to have an early dinner with the lovely Karen and her sweet friend Kendra. Afterward, I headed over to my friend Becky’s apartment for a glass of sparkling wine to toast her recent engagement! Yay! Congrats my love! xoxo
My Style Pill Likes: Old Soul, New Heart
How cute is this girl? Her name is Shea and she and her mom just opened up Old Soul, New Heart, a lovely handcrafted collection of vintage and feminine finds. I first read about her adorable shop on the lovely blog, A Cup of Jo. I am really LOVING their headbands, necklaces and hair do das! Go check it out!
P.S. I agree with Joanna…Shea’s lipstick is divine…she said that it’s NARS Jungle Red. I like my red lipstick, but this color is lovely. I think I might be making a stop at Sephora soon. xoxo
