Cheers with Jewelry

So Kristin over at Bon Bon Rosegirls gave me inspiration for this post.  Wine colors!  Going off of yesterday's post of jewel tones in blue I thought we'd continue today with wine colors: reds, purples, merlots, you know something gorgeous!

Today let's focus on jewelry in these shades.

Also- send me your recipes for Friday Foodday!

Licia Beads, Cabernet and Garnet Gemstone, $18

I love this combination of glam and vintage.

YJennings, Dark Red Garnet Black Onyx, $38

Look at this beautiful bracelet! I love the way the light hits the beads.

Kohl's, Apt 9 Jet Toned Drop Earrings, $16

Are these ladylike or what?

Joliette, Burgundy Persephone silk flower, $64

Hand dyed silk, just beautiful.

Glee Fashion--Emergency Post

Ok, so I could on forever about Glee fashion, especially Emma's...(J Crew and Kate Spade heaven) but I must post on Gwyneth Paltrow's tweed skirt on tonight's episode. LOVE!


While her skirt was probably $482 here are some of my picks for the sassiest tweed minis out there!

Banana Republic, Tall jen tweed skirt, $64

High waisted dream

BCBG, layered cargo tweed skirt, $98

How is this skirt feminine with cargo pockets? Gorgeous.

Limited, piped waistline mini, $59

Sweet and pockets makes this the perfect work skirt.

Banana Republic, Knife Pleat Skirt, $35

Perfect for a silk blouse and a vest. Secretary in the best way possible.

I've got the blues

So often people avoid blue because they only think of blue as navy.  Navy, while a great neutral and a staple for any wardrobe can be lack luster.  But why stop at navy? Blue is a jewel tone and it has the ability to make your skin tone shine or make your eyes pop.

Embrace blue this holiday season.  It's rich, and it's luxurious.  Stay with the deeper hues, a pale or pastel blue may look out of place this winter- unless of course its cashmere.

Bluefly, Priorities Gabardine Boyfriend Vest, $77

Hello chic! This vest is four season.  Layer it up now and pair it with a favorite tank in the summer.

Forever 21, sequin mini skirt, $29

Not for work.  Ever.  But absolutely Saturday night.

Dillards, Giana Bini Blouse, $40

So feminine.  Ruffled and delicate.

Modcloth, Late Night Talking Dress, $75

Yes its deep navy but- a phrase to live by: There is never an event to small to wear a big bow.

Not too coy, blue chico, $84

There are no words for the extreme sassiness of this shoe.

The Interview

There are few things that are more terrifying in this world.  There are few things you stress over and analyze more.  The interview is pretty much your life, your abilities, and why you are deserving of anything in 30 minutes of less. Yeah, no pressure.

What's your biggest weakness? When was the last time you were a leader? What kind of team player are you?  Stressed? Me too. Luckily, I have a job. But it's my sister that's going for one.  Side note to any employers of non-profits out there: she rocks.  Hire her.  That aside, I wanted to give her some outfit ideas for an interview.

Lots of companies require a suit for an interview, I however, believe that really limits your creativity. If it is a large corporation by all means suit it up, but if not, have some fun with it!

Look 1

Loft, Shirred V-neck cardigan, $49.50

I love this cardi.  The color is vibrant and the cut is flattering for a embellished tee of button down/

Banana Republic, Tuxedo Tunic, $69.50

Pretty unexpected to pair with a cardi huh? That's the idea! Make them remember you.

Target, TRS Pencil Skirt, $19.99

Who says you need to spend a lot to pull together an outfit?

Look 2

Modcloth, Mod About You, $65

I know, it looks bland but those zippers? Plus add some color...

Old Navy, Mohair blend cardigan, $18

"I liked that girl in the bright pink sweater...what was her name again?" Yep.  It happens.

Want to go more conservative with black pants or maybe a navy suit? That's ok! Wear a statement shoe.

Calvin Klein, Wynette Citron Patent, $76

Trust me.  With a calm outfit this will make it pop!
