Chain Gang

It’s no secret that one of my favorite accessory destinations is Gemma Redux.  I’m so obsessed, that their annual sample sale has me setting my alarm for 2 and 3am (one of the down sides to living in the opposite time zone) 🙂  I never play favorites with my collection, but the Omne is by far my most versatile piece.  I love that it can morph from necklace to bracelet and has endless styling options depending on my mood.

Back to Black

One item I literally have multiple variations of is the little black dress. It always provides the perfect opportunity for my accessories to run a bit wild.  I loved the extra volume and shape of this piece, and the fact that I can belt it for a totally different look, cinched the deal (so to speak) 🙂

Weekend Uniform

Weekends are always a time for me to decompress and switch off from the stresses of the work week.  I have to admit, some Saturday’s I am guilty of sporting my Eberjey jammies for most of the day and catching up on my favorite TV.  However, weekends are usually full of runs over the bridge into the city, or drinks with friends.  My go to uniform is always a blazer and jeans.  It proves the best direction when I want to be comfortable, but still pulled together.

Put a bow on it

I am normally a fairly casual dresser.  Distressed denim, vintage tee and a blazer make up my uniform in some variation for most occasions.  However; I knew when I purchased this top, the obnoxiously large bow would be fun.  I quite literally can pair it with anything and I love the girly contrast against a sharply tailored blazer.

Lucky

My first girls trip to Vegas was definitely memorable. (Some things will remain unmentioned of course 🙂 )  The food, shows and shopping were all in keeping with the city’s vibe: over the top and bundles of fun.

I had just graduated college, and got my first taste of the designer mecca housed in Caesar’s Palace.  I knew on my small budget, I wouldn’t be able to afford anything, but I couldn’t help just “looking” at the hot pink plaid that caught my eye in Dolce and Gabbana.  I love pink and have an unusual fondness for plaid (perpetuated by my grandmother’s clothing choices for me as a child).  The fashion god’s were definitely in my corner that day because to my shock, it was on sale-and bonus I could afford it.  Ever since that day back in 2005, my lucky hat has been just that, and always reminds me of that unforgettable weekend.
