The FUN accessory…Bracelets!

During my mission to find a different way to wear the gold watch I discovered how versatile my favorite fall, winter, and spring accessory was. Pictured here are leather bracelets and crystal bracelets/cuffs all from J. Crew. This fun accessory can be worn with casual attire or on a night out.

Where to get it:  J Crew, Nordstrom, Tory Burch, Forever 21

Seen on: Similar looks seen on Blake Lively & Jessica Alba (I adore her style)

How I wear it: I like to mix these leather bracelets with the crystal bracelets and where it on the same wrist as the watch. I also mix it up and wear it without a watch. I love wearing it with a super casual outfit (jeans or shorts with a favorite Tee) just to give the casual outfit that that dramatic twist. Be careful what shoes you where when doing this though; you do not want to pull off this look while wearing your tennis shoes. I also wear it on a night out as well with dresses and skirts. With summer around the corner it would be fun to where the bright leather bracelets (try yellow or orange ones) with your favorite maxi dress. You may be a little “I don’t know” about mixing leather with the crystal but I think it’s totally fun and catches the eye. My point is ladies…take your favorite bracelets and don’t be afraid to mix it up just have fun with it.

The Oxford

One of my current favorite trends is the “oxford shoe”. The last couple of months I keep coming across these shoes in spring catalogs, Vogue (yes I am an avid Vogue reader), and all the stores I enjoy shopping at. My hubby is not a fan of these shoes on me but I love it enough to own it in black and brown. These shoes are super cute and yes it is comfortable! My opinion – it’s a trend worth your money.

Where to get these shoes: J Crew (my fav spot), Nordstrom, Urban Outfitters (has super cute ones), Bakers, DSW.
Seen on: Gossip Girl (My Fav Show), Sienna Miller, and Olivia Palermo (a girl with style).
How I like to wear it: 
I love pairing these with shorts, short skirts, boyfriend jeans, and skinny cargos. Depending on the weather I pair it with one of my skinny cargos and one of my J Crew  v-neck tees. Also, if there is still a nice breeze  outside and a light jacket or sweater is needed I wear it with shorts or skinny cargos, a vintage tee, and my FAVORITE fall and spring piece…a  J Crew cardigan.
