Tell Me About It, Stud

Last month we looked at some really fantastic stud earring sets and in the past we've also looked at oversized stud earrings. Today let's go back to that and update the style: the statement stud earring. Flashy without weighing you down.

Amazon, Kate Spade Statement Studs, $68

What did I tell ya? A little pow but still classy.

Asos, Jewel Statement Stud Earrings, $10

Skip your Starbucks this week and get these instead. Think how lovely they'd look with a cozy sweater and a ponytail.

Last Call Neiman Marcus, Lydell NYC Crystal Cluster Stud, $25

Think how smashing these would look with a bold lip.

Club Monaco, Rada Star Earring, $98

Ok, maybe a little pricey but these are a real work of art. What a statement piece for any occasion.

Dress up those lobes with some fun statement studs! Hoops and drop earrings aren't going anywhere, so why not try something different?

In the Navy

Happy Monday lovebugs,
Today we are combining two of my favorite things: cheese and bacon. Kidding. Navy and stripes. Two classic styles that go beautifully together.

Asos, Wood Wood Mary Stripe Dress, $94

Half off right now. I love the turtleneck and the pockets. Pair it with booties.

Shopbop, Club Monaco Jewelle Turtleneck, $70

The width of these stripes are fantastic. Gives it a sailor vibe.

LandsEnd, Thermacheck Fleece Peacoat, $29

Classic silhouette, great stripe, and this price! A peacoat will never go out of style.

Levi's, Classic Crewneck Sweater, $59

How cozy does this sweater look? I'd dress it up for work with long pearls and for play I would add a contrasting oxford underneath.

Navy stripes are not just for the dog days of summer, I love this pattern and color for sweater weather because it's versatile and fun.

A Tassel Old As Time

Earlier this week we looked at tassel loafers. Today we're going back to tassels but in an accessory. Tassel jewelry is a great way to add some playfulness to your outfit. I love tassel earrings for work or play because they come in so many colors and styles there is always something that works for you.

Urban Outfitters, Vanessa Mooney Astrid Knotted Tassel Earring, $45

I love these statement earrings, and they come in five other colors.

BaubleBar, Piñata Tassel Drops, $36

A beautiful beaded option to dress up an LBD or jeans. Also comes in a dozen other colors!

Nordstrom, Sole Society Tassel Earring, $36

Not feeling the beaded? Try these faux leather rocker styled drops.

Club Monaco, Small Tassel Earrings, $15

A small accessory with a punch. I love the hoop style with the textured tassel.

A tassel earring is so versatile for casual to black tie. The price points are easy to stay in budget and there is something for everyone.

Rounding Up

It's shorts season but sometimes they can feel a bit dull. How do you dress up shorts without spending an arm and a leg? Scallops. This simple detail will elevate your look and make you feel feminine and dressy.

Club Monaco, Amber Chambray Short, $69

The definition of easy. Your go to short that looks effortless and put together.

Lilly Pulitzer, Buttercup Scallop Hem Short, $68

How can you not have fun in these shorts? They scream party.

Shoptiques, Lucy Paris Sea Scallop Short, $46

Crisp and classic. Pair this with a cotton ribbed tank or a  gingham button down.

Nordstrom Rack, Valette Scalloped Faux Suede Short, $34

Let me tell you something. These are no $34 shorts. These merlot beauties are going to carry you through the end of September.

While I tend to stock up on Old Navy chino shorts, sometimes it's helpful to mix in something different. It makes you feel...well, different. And different is good.

Sweater (Skirt) Weather

Yesterday we talked cozy scarves and today I thought we would continue the cozy with sweater knit skirts. Yes it's sweater weather but why can't we mix it up and wear a sweater skirt?

JCrew, Sweater Skirt, $99

Talk about a punch of sunshine. Or pick this up in the 2016 pantone pink.

Club Monaco, Abelar Ribbed Sweater Skirt, $99

A super simple skirt with perfect details. Ribbed pattern, gray flecked wool, just a classic piece.

Ann Taylor, Pleated Sweater Skirt, $89

A beautiful winter white is so crisp and inviting. I love the flounce silhouette.

W Concept, Plaid Sweater Skirt, $59

Simple, classic, chic. This cozy skirt is the perfect staple for your winter skirt game.

So when you think sweater weather don't just think crewneck, v neck, or turtleneck. Think skirts.

Can You Hear Me Now

Yesterday we did scarves and today since it is still ridiculously cold, let's look at some adorable ear muffs. I like ear muffs because they don't ruin your hair and less static when you take it off. They're easy to throw in your purse and they come in so many styles.

Bloomingdale's, Ralph Lauren Tech Ear Muffs, $56

How chic are these muffs? Sequins with shearling lined ears. Glam, fun, and warm.

Club Monaco, Celeste Faux Fur Earmuff, $59 [sold out! here's another option]

There are a lot of rabbit fur ear muffs out there, and yes, they're luxurious, but for those who aren't all for the bunny ears (literally) here is a lovely faux fur option.

Bloomingdale's, Kate Spade Fall in Line Ear Muffs, $47

Zoom in and enjoy the orange and pink stripes on these beauties. What a warm pattern for a cold day.

Neiman Marcus, Chunky Cable Knit Headphone Ear Muff, $39

Cable knit is not just for sweaters anymore! Rock out and stay warm with these.

Ear muffs for cold weather, its not the most original idea but it sure saves a good hair day. Stay warm and look fabulous.

Don't Spike It!

So I'm a girly girl. I keep a white ribbon in my purse at all times. I have trouble with the edgier trends like leather and spikes. Today I'm going to try to soften the bad ass-ness of the spike and try something a bit softer: the cone. I love the geometrical style of this look and it's great for any arm party.

Club Monaco, Double Pave Bracelet, $59

See what I mean? Gorgeous, noticeable, easy.

Madewell, Bluestone Cuff, $22

How about a cone gem? A lovely addition to a metallic arm party.

Shopbop, Noir Jewelry Darjeeling Spiked Bracelet, $61

This is something that's a bit different because of the box chain. I like it and it's on sale.

BaubleBar, Turq Frosted Cone Bangle, $18

And one more burst of color here. These translucent baubles are great to layer.

If you're not ready for spike, you might try cones. They're a bit architectural versus rocker.

Not that there is anything wrong with rockers. Go girls.

Double Duty

I like a good deal. As you may know, this blog only features items under $100. Today we're looking at items that reversible belts that are under $50, or, if you want, $25 per side.

Nordstrom, Tarnish Reversible Belt, $32

Look how happy this waist is. The other side is solid red. This belt also comes in black, turquoise, and gray.

Ralph Lauren, Croc & Patent Belt, $42

Simple and chic. White patent on one side and navy croc on the other.

Express, 2 in 1 Reversible Neon Belt, $20

Neon! And a standard brown on the other side. This belt also comes in neon pink.

Club Monaco, Casey Belt, $45

A great embossed snakeskin on one side and a simple bone color on the other.

Why not make your accessories work for you? Under $50 and exceeding your expectations.

Don't Count Out the Little Guy

Welcome back lovebugs!
I hope if you celebrated Christmas it was just wonderful. Now we get to enjoy the loot and prep for the New Year.

Today I thought we'd look at some clutches. Beaded clutches to be exact. I think they're a great accessory for NYE or just to add some detail to and everyday outfit.

Etsy, Black Beaded Lace Overlay on Ivory with Pearls, $65

This is a stunner for a black tie event. Such a beautiful mix of textures.

Banana Republic, Beaded Crossbody, $98

Ok hear me out, I know this tiny bag is $98, but you can wear this with a dress, with jeans, with whatever you can imagine. I absolutely love it.

Club Monaco, Lucy Beaded Clutch, $99

Wow. Look at the detail on this bag. Just a beautiful accessory that would match just about any color.

Urban Outfitters, Ecote Arts of Ruin Clutch, $49

A little more casual, but the price tag reflects that. I love the different sized beads.

Beaded clutches are a fabulous accessory that will never go out of style. Dress them up or down, but they'll always pack a punch.
