Opal-eese

Let's play with a fine stone. It's almost Friday, I think we have earned some pretty things. Let's look at some opal. I love this stone because it comes in so many different color variations. I particularly like the milk opal. The creamy stone with flecks of pink and green when the light hits it just right.

Need Supply, Tiny Marquis Ring, $70

Minimalistic but so pretty. I love the rose gold.

Baublebar, Malisandre Stud Earrings, $32

A beautiful cluster for a stud earring. Busy but not heavy.

White House Black Market, White Opal Teardrop Necklace, $24

On a hot summer day, who wouldn't want this frosty necklace around their neck?

Bloomingdale's, Rebecca Minkoff Two Stone Cuff, $98

Simple, bold, and unassuming. Very cool.

What do you think about opal? If you love it, what shade or type is your favorite? This milky hue goes with everything in my closet.

Not Fashion

I'm going to be honest, I love blogging about fashion. It's amazing, otherwise I wouldn't do it five days a week, 52 weeks per year. But sometimes I come across pretty things that you can't wear. Today I wanted to take a breather from fashion and show a set of things that have nothing to do with one another, but I think they are pretty and fun.

Lost My Keys

Details are one of my favorite things in the whole world. Texture, embellishments, you name it, I love it. Today we are looking at a sassy detail called the keyhole. A tiny bit of skin shown perfectly through this detailed cutout. Today we're looking at this trend in tops.

Nordstrom, Leith Keyhole Halter Tank, $48

Yes, you can wear this top. No, you don't have to wear these daisy dukes with them. Try white jeans or tiered midi skirt.

Banana Republic, Layered Halter, $69

A beautiful crepe tank that looks so effortless. Also comes in three other colors.

Macy's, Floral Print Keyhole Halter Top, $59

I love this blown out floral print. It's quite dressy, which you don't usually think of when you think of halter tops.

Asos, Origami Keyhole Halter Top, $25

Looking for something that makes a statement without saying a word? This top. So simple! Blousy on the bottom and sassy on top.

A simple detail makes all of the difference and these halter tops are perfect for summer.

Color Run

Here's a secret: I don't work out. Well, I walk a lot and I take the stairs when I can, but the only thing that gets me running is a bagel or loaded nachos. So, when the fashion sneaker trend came about I wasn't quick to jump on board. But, how long could I stay away from a trend that combines comfort and sass? I didn't.
