Regal Ruby

Remember your grandmother's jewelry box? You would look in and see an array of shiny brooches, gold chain necklaces, and a variety of colorful stones. Who knew which were family heirlooms and which were thrift shop, but who cared? One of my favorite pieces was always the ruby. It was regal and feminine. The deep red was rich like a merlot. While I don't have heirloom pieces for under $100 today, I do have some fun ruby earrings that won't break the budget.

Ann Taylor, Jewel Stud Earrings, $29

This item's description is 'the perfect finishing touch'. I couldn't agree more.

Target, Sterling Silver Bezel Stud Earrings, $34

The flush stone is very unique. Makes them a bit more of an everyday piece.

Modcloth, Receiving Drop Honors Earrings, $14

I'd wear these with a complimenting bold lip. Very rich.

Bloomingdale's, Rebecca Minkoff Front Back Earrings, $48

Didn't see these coming, did you? Ooh girl these are special. Get ready for compliments.

The depth of the red ruby adds so much to a simple piece of jewelry. Its a saturated color that demands attention.

The Look Back

Hi there lovebugs,
As you know I'm a sucker for details. Small somethings that make a piece extra special. Today's detail is a lace back. Lace isn't just for summer. These sweaters are classic pieces that go with everything, but turnaround, it's a whole new game.

Last Call Neiman Marcus, Lace Back Stretch Knit Sweater, $29

See what I mean? A classic open front cardi, and then, BAM!

Shoptiques, Buffalo Jeans Fiddle Dee Sweater, $69

Simple. Easy. Then something extra.

Asos, Madam Rage Sweater in Mixed Yarn, $30

A casual marl fabric is dressed up with a little gathering in the back and some lace.

H&M, Sweater with Lace Details, $34

I'm showing the ivory option because it highlights the lace details on the screen, but I actually prefer the army green color.

We are easing into sweater weather, why not have some fun with it? A little lace is perfect for fall.

Double Trouble

This fall, I'm feeling blazers. Not necessarily the prep school blazer look but maybe more vintage and masculine. The double breasted blazer is chic and distinctive in the very best ways. No shoulder pads required.

Nordstrom, Topshop Gold Button Double Breasted Blazer, $95

So cool. Like so, so cool. You can totally pull this off.

Mango Outlet, Double Breasted Cotton Blazer, $83

I really like this speckle print. Not sure what the model is so upset about though.

Macy's, Alfani Double Breasted Blazer, $74

Sleek and sophisticated. I love this blazer with a pencil skirt, jeans, or ankle pants.

Kohl's, LC Lauren Conrad Double Breasted Blazer, $42

A longer silhouette for a runway look.

Try something a little old school and make it our own this fall. These double breasted blazers are a great excuse to mix it up!
