Goodies

Here are a few snaps of the purchases/gifts I've received recently. A few weeks back I decided to splurge on some accessories via Jewelmint...definitely no regrets on that one. The double stacked rings are super versatile and I'm head over heels in love with the necklace below. It's the perfect combination of eclectic colors/shapes and of course, an innovative take on the detachable collar. I don't think I could ask for more in a necklace. Oh, and I'm fairly certain Jewelmint has sparked a downward spiral of the massive money pit that will be my jewelry collection...oh dear.

DO YOU SEE THIS BEAUTY? Okay okay, I should probably calm down. But really. How perfectly perfect is this necklace?

I also received a lovely personalized package from the sweet people over at Crash & Burn. There is no lack of dip dyeing and amazement over at that site, to say the least. Expect to see these garments styled shortly!

Hope everyone had a great Wednesday! xo

Lately, detachable collars have been taking over what seems to be every style site I browse on repeat. I've yearned for the perfect collar since Fall '11, though I've yet to pull the trigger. There are just so many options!

If any of you love the collar trend as much as I do, then you're in luck! I've teamed up with Romwe to offer all of you the chance to win a lovely gold-toned collar, along with $40 of freebies! (collar is similar to the last picture via A Pair & A Spare).

Streetstyle Inspiration

all images via Jak & Jil, Stockholm Streetstyle and 5 inch and up

A quick bit of streetstyle inspiration to start up your morning. Loving patterns on patterns, layered knits, bright accessories, quirky sunglasses (always) and throwing a coat over your shoulders. So chic.

My new sunnies (and more)

the lens is a grey-ish gradient, though when out in the sun, it's more of a mahogany color. It goes really well with my pale skin tone.

The CC logo is made of inlaid mother of pearl, with a wooden panel surrounding it. The details in these sunglasses are to die for!

Good morning everyone! So todays post is about two of the new items I received/purchased this past week. If you keep updated with me through twitter (or if you want to, click the link in my sidebar), then you'll remember that I mentioned getting a free pair of Chanel sunglasses. Well, these are it! Since I've worked at my current job for over a year, I'm eligible to get a free pair of sunglasses through any Sunglass Hut location. I decided to browse the selection at the flagship store in SF, right near Union Square. These were one of the first pairs I tried on, and I fell in love right away. I'll try and take some photographs with them on and post them as soon as I get the chance! 

As for below, I bought these boots at Zara the same day I got my new Chanels. They unexpectedly match the lens color on my sunnies, so yay for that! (I actually didn't even notice, my friend had to tell me, haha) 

the chunky heel is what stole my heart. 

unfortunately these are fairly tight and hurt the tops of my feet. I realized this halfway through a seven hour shift & had to deal with the pain for a few hours. I learned the hard way, but these are definitely not work/walking shoes. Oh well, I still love them nonetheless!

also, the zipper detailing is gorgeous. ahh, new favorite fall/winter boots, marry me!

I have a few more photographs from my day in SF, though I'll be putting those in my next outfit post. Enjoy the rest of your weekend, and thanks for reading!
