DETAIL ORIENTED

I guess you can call me detail oriented because I firmly believe accessories make or break an outfit and transform the look and feel of an outfit like nothing else. Take today's dress for example, or cover up if you will,  ( though I honestly think it works as a dress just as well ). Paired with cute flip-flops and a beach tote, it is a perfect day-at-the-beach option, of course I wanted to wear it in the city. So, to dress it up a bit, I opted for a pair of high-heel ankle-wrap sandals, a cute cross-body and lots and lots of layered jewelry. 

Since no one was pointing fingers and asking why I was wearing a beach cover up in the middle of the city, I'd say my mission to transform it into a dress was quite successful :) What do you guys think?

FABULOUS FINDS - A FEW ACCESSORY FAVORITES

Good morning, Everyone! Hope you are all enjoying a fantastic Saturday morning! I wanted to do a quick little post about a few of my favorite accessories at the moment. Some of them are old, others, are recent scores from THE OUTNET.COM, like the amazing Nicholas Kirkwood suede booties, for example. You know how I feel about shoes and color blue in general, so for me, it was pretty much a match made in shoe heaven!:) I also found a few beautiful pieces for my ever-expanding jewelry collection.
I've been obsessing over Eddie Borgo jewelry ever since I met him at a Neiman Marcus event last year, and these lavender pieces, which sold out in days, were actually my favorite. So, you can imagine how glad I am to finally find them!

P.S. Emil and I are planning a San Francisco trip next week, so I wanted to ask you guys to recommend a few must-see places! 

Hope you have a fantastic weekend!

JUST JEWELRY - A FEW FAVORITES

Don't really know what it is about a full-on armparty but I feel completely naked without it. I simply love layering jewelry, especially bracelets and rings. Typically, I am absolutely ok with mixing metals, in fact, I think sometimes, combining different textures, colors and metals creates a bolder, more interesting effect. I also love mixing styles, for example, delicate pieces look great combined together with either edgy or super bold ones. My only rule, is to limit the drama to bracelets & rings and keep the rest of my jewelry to a minimum so I don't look like a Christmas Tree:) What about you guys, how do you feel about layering jewelry?

MINT CONDITION

 Got this sweater last night as an early Christmas present, so naturally I couldn't resist the urge to wear it right away. So warm and cozy and of course I love the pretty shade of mint! Big fan of those day-to-night pieces:) Emil and I have a few quick errands to run this morning to finish up last minute additions to our Christmas shipping list. I know, can't believe I waited till last minute this year... Not me at all, normally I'm done wrapping presents in July:) Lesson learned for next year:) Later on we are heading to Emil's parents house for a very traditional Christmas dinner. Good food, great company and loads of presents, pretty much doesn't get any better!

My family and I also wanted to take this opportunity to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas! I hope joy and happiness snow on you, may all your days be marry and may Santa be extra good to you:)!
