Make it Chunky!!!!!

What's hot in fall/winter accessories??? The Chunky Choker!!! It's the perfect neck piece and will have heads turning!!! Who, What, Wear featured 5 fashion, forward takes on this hot look! From classic to punk! Pick your pleasure! I'm loving this accessory with plain tees or think about jazzing up that drab turtleneck sweater that is bound to show itself in the near future! Not sure about this look just yet...Go for a more subtle look by checking out looks, with a more vintage twist, at Anthro! Make it Funky with a Chunky necklace!!!!!!!!!!!

Pearls of Wisdom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I think of pearls, I think of playing dress up in my mommy's jewels and pretending to be the belle of the ball! I recall getting my first pearl set: earrings and necklace and I also remember breaking my necklace. Clearly I wasn't ready for the responsibility of pearls. Fast forward...Today, Pearls continue to be a staple in any woman's closet, whether real or faux, pearls always complete the look! This summer, pearls are taking on a whole new look. Not so retro, but still classically, chic! I love the layered look and colored pearls(i.e. black pearls, which my hubby graced me with one birthday) add quite a splash of sophistication to an otherwise, casual look! JCrew has really taken this trend full-force! Looking for a more affordable outlet??? Try Ebay! You are sure to find some great, vintage, affordable pearls there! Just search for pearls or vintage pearl jewelry! I also spied some really cute, non-traditional looks at Anthropologie! Or, go ahead and invest in Tiffany pearl necklace. It is sure to become a family heirloom to be passed on from generation to generation!!! Whatever you do, keep it chic!

Tee + Bling = TeeBling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Burnt out tees, tissue tees, basic tees...V-neck, scoop neck, crew neck...So many variations all so easy to wear and so easy to dress up or down!!!! I'm a Cali girl, so tee shirts are my favorite staple and I have been noticing fashion has taken on a more laid back, Cali girl approach when it comes to basic items, such as the tee. To dress up a basic tee, try adding a little bling!!!! Big, bauble, bold, necklaces are the perfect way to add a little spice to that plain tee!!!! Jcrew has really embraced this new fashion trend and I'm a huge fan too!!!!! Check out these pairings for inspiration. But check places like American Apparel for all sorts of colors and styles of tees, at a fabulous price. For inexpensive, expensive looking blingage, look no further than Forever21 and Urban Outfitters, even the Gap and Banana have fabulous finds when it comes to neck candy and they are always having a sale!!!! Be on the look out for chain necklaces, they are all the rave for must have Fall accessories!!!!!
