She Believed She Could Bangle | I Carry Your Heart Bowl | Pave Ring | Diamond Arrow Bracelet | Diamond in the Rough Ring | Raw Gemstone Earrings

Happy Monday. As the record below temps prevent me from doing anything too productive, I've been spending my time scouring Uncommon Goods for my latest inspiration and jewelry finds. I've been on a bit of a shopping hiatus after the holidays and am scouting my next must-have accessory. 

I'm loving this jewelry holder, not only does it quote one of my favorite poems, it's a perfect resting place for my engagement ring on a bed-side table and these earrings. The gold and diamond ring? An investment, but man, she's a beauty. It can even be considered an unconventional wedding ring. Would you wear it as such or a right hand ring? If simplicity is more your style, you can't go wrong with this  ring. 

My favorite pick may be the slim bangle that is engraved with the phrase "She Believed She Could" that I would pair with this arrow bracelet. This year I have some big dreams I'm hoping to accomplish and this would be a constant reminder that if I believe and if I work hard enough, I can make anything happen. Who wouldn't want that splendid reminder everyday?

Shopping Cart: The Kitten Heel

The kitten heel used to be a dirty word in my book. All I can see when I close my eyes are kitten heel flip flops, which are almost, if not more dirty in my eyes than flatforms. Thank goodness for Shopbop curating some of the best re-invented kitten heels to date. Let's just a take a moment to swoon over these spotted heels Loeffler Randall Tamsin Haircalf Pumps. A heel height perfect for the office but walk you straight into happy hour!

Shopping Cart: Wildfox

 While you won't typically find me in a head to toe 'edgy' look, I love how Shopbop styled their Wildfox lookbook. Summer basics {white pants, silk shorts, high-waisted cut-offs} pair quite well with these statement tees. When you want to throw 'girly & feminine' out the door, take note! Find these looks and more at Shopbop!

Shopping Cart: Alexis Bittar

With my day job, I get to spend some of time researching new brands to present to clients. I recently came across Alexis Bittar and couldn't be more obsessed. These pieces just scream 'finishing touch' to any look you walk out the door with. 

So tell me, which are your favorites?!

Shopping Cart: Kate Spade Sample Sale

I've been sitting on a few gift cards to Kate Spade for a few weeks now. I debated between purchasing this dress and this dress from Kate Spade Saturday but when I received the sample sale email announcement from Kate Spade New York earlier this week, I knew what I needed to do.  

I've been in desperate need of a handbag update, and to be honest, these three bags are always in constant rotation {this, this, and this}. I was looking to make an investment, I knew I couldn't go wrong with Kate Spade. I ended up with a large tote bag and a cross body bag. Part of me wishes I had picked up something in color {bag envy from a girl I saw at lunch a day after I made the purchase}, but knowing me, I use my handbags for years so I would rather invest in a classic, basic color. 

So tell me, did you pick up anything during this sample sale?!

Shopping Cart: BaubleBar

One | Two | Three | Four | Five

When it comes to accessorizing, I usually keep things simple. I keep a rotation of necklaces I've picked up over the past few years (mainly from BaubleBar) that seem to go with everything in my closet. In a bind, this or this necklace usually do the trick. But last weekend, I pulled the trigger and updated my collection - plus I had a few vault points just burning a hole in my pocket. The four necklaces on the sides I found through their "Look of the Week" posts about the art of layering. Great marketing - I bought it; hook, line, and sinker. And that middle piece, man, that's my kind of statement necklace.

Happy Friday!

Shopping Cart: Zara

Checkered Blouse // Sarong Striped Skirt // Cropped T-Shirt // Green Heels // Black Heels // Yellow Cape Dress // Neon Clutch

Dream Shopping Cart Total: $349.40 (minus the clutch - which is now sold out)

In today's round up, I thought I would let you see what I'm craving from Zara these days..which on a good day, is quite a lot. A window-pane printed blouse and sarong style striped skirt are quite up to par with the black and white craze making its way across the nation. And that yellow cape dress - how amazing would that be to wear to my brother and future sister-in-law's wedding rehearsal in a few weeks with those green heels?. And I've decided that maybe, just maybe, it's time I jumped on the bandwagon of cropped tops & neon transparent clutches. 

Tell me, what does Zara have you lusting over lately?

Shopping Cart: Shopbop

DANNIJO Chavelli Earrings // Rebecca Minkoff Flirty Bag // DVF Noralie Dress // Vince Caftan // Tory Burch iPhone Case // Vince V Neck Silk Dress // Joie Susina Dress
