accessories






Few things are as versatile as some classic and timeless, well-chosen accessories.  And whether your passion be for shoes, sunglasses or gorgeous leather handbags, one thing is for certain, they each can transform a look.  

Personally, I happen to have an obsession with sunglasses which will certainly come as no surprise.  I also, however, happen to think that both handbags and shoes can rightfully hold their own alongside the competition.  As such, today's post is devoted to some of my favorites among all three.

You all know my love of neutrals and that love story remains true when it comes to accessories.  Perhaps even more so than with my clothing, haha.  But honestly, you can not find anything more deserving of your dollar than a versatile accessory.  Let me show you why.

This bag is one I fell in love with last fall and I am still obsessed.  There's something about smooth leather that always gets my attention.  The use of the overlapping design is quite eye-catching and the adjustable strap is a feature I really like when coordinating it with my outfit.  

Shoes are another area of ones wardrobe where selecting the right pairs will extend the wearability of all the clothing in your closet and allow you to design so many looks around them.  Come this time of year, I always gravitate towards a nice, neutral colored mule.  Black is always a striking option as is this sandy shade seen here in a soft suede loafer.  This is such a timeless look that you can never go wrong with.

Last but clearly not least is a great pair of sunglasses.  Oh, where do I even begin here?  Although I have created a bit of a collection to choose from, there is one bit of advice I can give you when it comes to closing the right pair.  Be sure to find those that suit your overall style rather than just one or two outfits.  And be certain to go with a pair that truly flatters your face.  Aside from those two tidbits, I also find that time-honored colors like classic black and brown tortoiseshell are always ones that work back to some many color schemes you may want to be wearing.

It's been said that accessories often do make or break whatever it is you are wearing and I do think that's true.  I hope this inspired you in some way and has you looking forward to incorporating more of your personal style into your everyday looks. Have a wonderful weekend everyone and thanks for stopping by!

So I don't know about you but I love the little things in life that make it extra sweet.  Translate that into the fashion world and it's all those beautiful accessories that come to mind.  Today I'm sharing some of my current favorites for fall.  From Tory Burch to Rebecca Minkoff and every gorgeous thing in between, a girl just can get enough of these beautiful adornments.  This bag is my latest go-to and the perfect complement to all that is fall.  I picked mine up in the color putty during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale last season but also love it in this shade.  These block heel beauties are begging to party a la 1920 and the fabulous flapper scene.  I'm also loving this creamy neutral shade of polish and these sleek cat-eye inspired shades.  Many favorites make a season and you can shop all my current picks below.  Hope you're enjoying all this amazing fall scenery in your neck of the woods.  Oh October, how I love you!!

If there's one thing I never leave the house without it would have to be my sunnies.  What started as a fun fashion accessory is now a daily must.  Much like a favorite handbag or perfect pair of heels these pretty little gems come in endless shapes, sizes and colors.  It won't take much to find your perfect shade of chic.  These shapes and styles are some of those I'm currently craving.  Clearly, Kate Spade seems have caught my eye several times but I have to confess that this pair from Prada is my absolute love.

So now that the spring sunshine has really started to shine, which set of sunnies will you be reaching for?  Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend and thanks for reading!

Last night's Oscars had stars abuzz, name dropping the coveted designers who gifted {or lent} them their gorgeous jewels and accessories for the evening.  Inspired by the beautiful theme, I decided to dedicate today's post to the everyday accessories that I'm wishing for this spring.  From the look of things, color has clearly caught my eye along with sprinklings of gold, ladylike glamour and some much loved classic spring patterns.  If you are similarly caught up in the lure of the lovely, you can find all these picks below.

Thanks for sharing my little indulgences….Have a beautiful Monday!

We all know that trends come and go and sometimes return yet again.  One trend that is far from extinct is the feline frenzy.  From cheetah to leopard to zebra and back, cat and other animal prints have become dangerously addictive.  No longer the wild child of pattern choices, these prints have somehow transcended into the new neutrals.  

I simply cannot get enough of all the chic and easy ways to wear them.  Topping the list right now?  Unsurprisingly, it's a draw between the ladylike clutch and the haute heel.  Both are fabulously feminine ways to dress up a casual look or take an already glam affair to the next level of lovely.  Other great options on the prowl include...

SMOKING SLIPPERS {here, here and here} // SCARVES {infinity or wraparound} // HEELS {Prada, J. Crew and Louboutin} // COATS


Hope you all enjoy some element of this terrific trend even half as much as I do.  Have a gorgeous Monday everyone!

Casual yet clearly defined, this look reads as, effortlessly amazing.  An extra bold tassel, paired with the native American vibe of the couture-feeling jacket, against contrasting black, all leads to a perfectly tied together look.










Bold, brilliant and all kinds of fabulous, the ever-inspiring Rachel Zoe displays just how stunning an accessory can truly be.  Her gold tassel necklace puts the 'POW' into black power suit, taking this already elegant look into a whole new category of chic.









UK accessories designer, Jennifer Loiselle takes the tassel to the next level using a mixed media type of approach.  The combination of metals, leather, braiding and gorgeously saturated color make this Margot tassel necklace a brilliantly designed statement piece.


::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

While each of these looks is worthy of a haute price tag, that doesn't mean we all can't enjoy the current trend.  With styles and price points to suit everyone, the tassel is the perfect accessory to tie on for summer.  Here is a list of high & low options and where to find them:

     It's official!  March is now here and we've turned the corner towards warmer days ahead.  Even if it's just a little bit milder out, it is a sure sign that spring is waiting to wake up.  To help welcome its arrival, you're likely in search of a few key pieces that will wake up your wardrobe as well.  No need to search the stores to find them, chic Saturday has already done that for you and they're all right here. You can even find some of them on SALE this weekend with 20% off at J. CREW and 30% off your purchases at The Gap and Banana Republic.  Now who can resist that? Let's take a peek...







Spring Trends to Try Now





Trends can be tricky and a bit intimidating, to say the least.  With these four, however, you can rest-assured that you will look fresh, feel confident and enjoy putting yourself together each morning.

STRIPES:  This pattern is a proverbial springtime favorite and can be worked into your closet in an infinite number of ways.  From the typical tops and tees to the standout piece of footwear {think smoking slipper} amid an otherwise solid top and bottom, stripes can liven up any look.  Blazers, blouses, skirts and even handbags are all seeing stripes this season and looking great.  Don't be afraid to branch out with this trend as you come to find the pieces that you like best.

FLORALS:  Yes, I know what you're thinking, florals were made for wallpaper in a distant decade.  I can't say that I didn't feel the same not so long ago.  Now, I've begun to change my mind.  With shades, patterns and designs that are eye-catchingly cute, this trend is quickly becoming one of my favorites!  Some key points to keep in mind when wearing this look would be to aim to incorporate one flowered piece per outfit.  Pretty floral denim skimmer pants work beautifully with a white jacket and a pastel peplum peeking out from underneath.  Feminine and oh-so fresh.

THE BRIGHT BAG:  Color is simply everywhere in the world of handbags and we girls couldn't be happier.  From sweet sorbet shades to luscious pastel hues, these leather accessories are popping!  Done in soft, supple finishes, they are the perfect companion to any of these looks seen here.

THE SILK BLOUSE:  Now for la piece de resistance, the silk blouse.  If there is one staple being seen simply everywhere this spring, it is the silk blouse.  Color blocked, patterned, dotted or striped, the choices seem nearly endless and that is a lovely thing.  One of my favorite ways to style this piece is to pair it with a sweet skirt or a bright-colored pair of skinnies, contrasting belt and an easy fitting shoe {aka the ballet flat} in a complementing color.  Strap a great crossbody bag over your shoulder {in one of those irresistible colors we just mentioned} and you're out the door.


Just talking about these looks now has me ready to raid my closet and do some serious spring cleaning!  I always find it refreshing and rewarding to do this because you almost certainly uncover a few cute little pieces you had forgotten all about.  Why not grab them and work them into one of these new looks?

Wishing you a lovely Friday and wonderful weekend...thanks, as always, for reading!

XO,

Kelly

COLOR CRUSH: Peony & Plum





Spring is such an inspiring time of year and the fresh new colors it evokes are definitely no exception.  While it's true I have more than a few favorites, this season {and every}, one color combo I'm consistently coveting is that of peony and plum.  Much like a high-low outfit contrast, these two hues strike the perfect balance yet somehow leave you wanting more.  From bottoms, toppers and easy layering pieces to bangles, ballets and balm, these colors have spring covered.

What's your favorite pairing this season?  Have a wonderful weekend and thanks so much for reading!
