Bangles: Inspiration and DIY

I love bangles. They can dress up a no-frills outfit or add intricacy to to layers. It’s a great way to mix old and new or high and low. Here is Caroline Trentini looking gorgeous in hers in the June 2009 Numero. Scroll down for DIY suggestions. PS: They make chic gifts for girlfriends!

New Pieces You’ll Love Forever

Although this editorial is from 2009, I still love it. A lot of the style cues from last Autumn ring true still. The colors, high waists and layering keep it current and Jessica Stam keeps it lovely.

Here is a whole lot of inspiration from the super-cool street style blog Swagger 360. I have to go Rachel Zoe on you and say – I die.

Birthday Party

It’s Ro’s birthday and I’m throwing a little soiree for him. I love birthdays, really I love any occasion to celebrate…there will be high heels and champagne. Hopefully I can coax some dancing out of him…

This dress from ModCloth would be the perfect party-hostess-dress, don’t you think?

Can anyone else not get over Teenage Dream from Glee? I’m not a Katy Perry fan but damn! I cannot get the song out of my head. Go here if you haven’t seen it. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Love the messy hair and the jacket/dress combos. Perfect for running chic errands on a crisp fall day.

Vintage Gloves

As the weather cools, I’m really into gloves, particularly wrist length, vintage or otherwise. They are easily findable on ebay and a fashionable way to overcome the chills.
