New Obsession: Colorful Bracelets

Posted on May 17, 2012 by Rachel Posted in Accessories | 14 Comments
Colorful Bracelets

I have always been a fan of cuffs and bracelets but have never owned any colorful bracelets… just silver and gold cuffs, white and pearls.  I have no idea why though, they are amazing! I just bought a teal and purple bracelet from Lia Sophia and have a hot pink bracelet on the way from Jada’s Jewels.  Here are a few of my other favorites right now that will probably be added to my collection before the end of summer!

Lilac Jungle

Isn’t it funny how somedays you have a lot to say about your outfit because the pieces tell a story and other days it is literally just: this is what I threw on and I liked the way it looked? Well I hope you don’t mind that I want to share a lot of information about my experience with my clothes (like yesterday’s coral dress post) and somedays it really is pretty simple.  One of my goals for the new year to help spice up what I wear to work is to mix prints and colors together.

Lady in Coral

Posted on May 15, 2012 by Rachel Posted in Outfits, Shopping, Travel | 28 Comments

So I must admit something: I am a liar.  The lying wasn’t on purpose, but it seems that my memories are getting confused these days.  My memories of great travels and wonderful shopping experiences, that is.  If you read my post about Napa Valley and some of the amazing vintage boutiques there, I told you that the vintage dress I am wearing in these photos was a beautiful piece purchased from Betty’s Boutique in California.  Well I am sorry to say it’s not… I only own two dresses from Betty’s Boutique.  A polka dot one (seen here) and a floral Hawaiian print one I’m sure I’ll be posting sometime this summer.

Fashion & Beauty Pet Peeve #3

Fashion & Beauty Pet Peeve #3

Sadly after a long enough period of time, many of my heels have experienced this aging process of a heel tip loss.  Usually I don’t even notice when one is missing until I’m walking on concrete and when I do, it always happens to be when I’m out and about or at work.

Layered for the Office

Posted on May 9, 2012 by Rachel Posted in Outfits | 36 Comments

As much as I love my work uniform (seen here) for the spring and summer… there are still days that the air conditioning is on full blast and I freeze at work.  This is when layering is key.  I can stand the chill on my legs (even though I get goosebumps and then so much for shaving everyday), but when my arms get cold, it is almost unbearable.  That’s why this is another key work outfit for me: Light-weight sweater layered over chambray (or a collared button up).

Reader Question: Blazer, Skinny Jeans & Heels

Blazers and Colored Jeans

Recently a reader told me about her birthday party theme (Blazers, skinny jeans and heels) and wanted to know what some fun, stand out combinations could be to make her stand out at her party.  I sent her six options (some with regular blue jeans and then the above options with colored denim).  I wanted to share the looks I came up with colored denim because I think they are a great option for a night out with girlfriends this spring and summer!

Sailor-esque

Posted on May 7, 2012 by Rachel Posted in Outfits | 36 Comments

I was so excited when I found out the next Everybody Everywear was going to be Nautical themed.  I adore anything nautical themed, from the colors to the stripes and the anchors and lifesavers!  This shirt was actually bought for a party in the UK for my best friend’s boyfriend (now husband!) that was sailor themed.  Three of us girls bought matching shirts and had such a fun time celebrating!  The white blazer and blue denim gave this fun shirt a more polished look, but I also had to add my fun red bow bag that also came from the UK!
