Totally Tasseled

Going along with yesterday's Bauble Bar giveaway, I thought we would look at a great jewelry trend that is going on; tassels. We all know tassels are big for loafers for the fall, but take a look at these great options in jewelry.

Bauble Bar, Swing tassel drops, $22

From the giveaway shop! Love the mix of pink and purple!

Ralph Lauren, Multi-bead tassle necklace, $88

This is a great neutral necklace, and the gold tassel will glisten next to any outfit.

Asos, Johnny loves rosie bracelet, $30

Two tiered bracelet with a fantastic colors to mix jeans and a simple tee.

This is what I like to call fancy rocker chic. A great metal piece with some bling makes it perfect for a maxi dress or a plain white button down shirt.

Giveaway! Blogiversary!

Lovebugs,
As I mentioned on Monday, today is the 25th month-iversay of The Capital Barbie. Why am I celebrating 25 months you ask? Well, because I forgot my two year. So here we are with a two-year and one-month celebrating TCB and all it's fabulousness.

And what better way to celebrate another year of fashion under $100 than with a giveaway from one of my favorite accessory shops: Bauble Bar. I love this store. I love the styles because you can find an accessory for absolutely any occasion. Dress up or dress down or dress it for everyday, there is something for everyone.

So want $50 to Bauble Bar? All you have to do is leave a comment below! That's it! That's how much I love you all. One entry per person and I will announce the winner one week from today!

Tee Up

There is something very elegant about a t-strap shoe. It has a dancer-esque feel to it and elevates any outfit to another level of class. Here are some of my favorite t-straps in a variety of colors and textures.

Anthropologie, Crysanth t-strap, $79

These party ready heels also come in emerald. I love the pom on the toe, what a burst of energy.

Lord & Taylor, Helkie Jones New York, $99

Well hello! A little snakeskin print mixed with an elegant black suede! Perfect for an LBD or jeans.

Modcloth, No Need to Spree Heel, $34

These heels are perfect to wear with any print. Floral, baroque graphic, you name it they will blend in but provide perfect stylistic support.

Lord and Taylor, Nine West Blonsky, $89

These shoes, oh these shoes, there is something architecturally satisfying about them. I love the zipper in the back.

What is it about the t-strap that is so enticing? I think it's a great alternative it you don't love a heel with an ankle strap.

Drop that Waist

Happy Monday lovebugs! How was your weekend?

This week I'm celebrating my 25 month blogiversary, and on Wednesday there will be a special giveaway!

Today we're looking a great trend to wear from summer into fall; drop waist dresses. Wear them now with some great accessories and then pair them with tights and a belted cardigan in the fall.

Loft, Grid Print Drop Waist Pleated Skirt Dress, $98

This great print is perfect for the office, and the boatneck is a beautiful addition.

Asos, Summer dress in spot print, $14

An adorable jersey dress that is perfect for August. This also comes in white and green.

Piperlime, Chandi and Lia Drop Waist Printed Dress, $59

I'm loving this tiny bird print all over this dress, I would pair it with some white baubles.

Max Studio, Sleeveless Dress, $78

A perfect example of warm to cool. Pair this dress with a tissue turtleneck and you're ready for fall!

Drop waist isn't for everyone, but it's definitely worth a try in the dressing room. It's a great addition to an a-line filled closet.
