April Little Black Bag (Bag 2 of 2)
I opened two Little Black Bags in April, and I'm finally posting what I received in my second bag. I think the trading for this bag went pretty well and I was happy with all of the items I got. To see what I got in my first April bag, click here.
I received five items total in this bag and I think it cost me around $34 after tax and shipping. I'm so glad that LBB is no longer charging sales tax for NYS customers, so now my bags will be a little bit cheaper!
MMS Design Studio Striped Crossbody ($30) - I love this little bag! I opened with it and traded it away, but then I decided I wanted it back so I offered the same multi I had taken on it and was able to get it back again. There was also a blue and white version that I think was more popular, but I liked the colors on this one better. It's the perfect summer crossbody.
Melie Bianco Eyeglasses Wristlet ($14) - These debuted in the gallery the day I was closing my bag and I was luckily able to grab one. There was also a pink key and a green key design, but I like the glasses one. The retail on this was only $14, and it's a pretty big wristlet considering that price.
Mata Traders Macrame Necklace ($26) - I love this necklace! I wasn't sure if I was going to like it in person, but it's beautiful. It's handmade and fair-trade, which is even better. I originally had the pink/coral one but someone accepted my trade for the turquoise one on my last day of trading.
All The Rage Triangle Necklace ($16) - I like that this necklace is a little bit edgy but dainty at the same time. There was a blue/turquoise version but I liked this pink and red one better.
Carol Dauplaise Fringe Hoop Earrings ($18) - I had been wanting these earrings for a while but I ended up returning them for an exchange credit because the stones were too big. The design was really interesting and I liked the colors, they were just too clunky for my personal tastes. Plus I wanted to see how the new exchange system worked.
Weekend Instagram Hot! or Hmm…: Ashley Madekwe, Shiona Turini, June Ambrose & more!
First up is the always stylish actress and fashion enthusiast Ashley Madekwe. The style star was snapped in front of one of her favorite stores in London. She channeled her inner rockstar in all black with $1,295 Balenciaga ‘Centure’ boots and a black leather moto jacketfrom the label as well. I love the laid back look, but it still reads fashion. Hot!
And last, but not least, is actress and singer Brittany Underwood. She struck a few poses on the red carpet at Latina Magazine’s Hot List party. Styled by Ali Levine, she wore a Bianca Nero dress with a gold plated neckline, Guess shoes, MMS Design Studio clutch, La Kaiser earrings, and one of those uber-trendy flash tattoos on her arm. Very cute look for the curly haired starlet. The clutch, especially, deserves major points.

Happy Sunday! Technically, I am not the biggest fan of Sundays because they are so close to Mondays..ugh. Hope the week goes by quickly (for all of us)!
I was gifted this bucket-style purse (which is such a flashback to my 90's days!), and paired it with this striped dress- perfect to throw on any day when you honestly don't know what to wear. So chic, right?

My new go-to bag! I love the fringe ♥ The bag almost looks and feels as if it's real leather. On the inside there is a cute design of arrows along with three pockets. Two of the pockets have zippers and the other is an opened one that is the perfect size for a cell phone.
Follow my blog for more future posts styling this bag!
Have a great week ♥

Spring Fever featuring Pleione
You guys! We leave for the East Coast this Monday! I cannot believe how fast its gone. Our house is almost packed, and it is all starting to set in. Including the fact that I will be going from weather in the 40-50's, to 20's and below. That's a BIG difference. It makes me long for spring even more, all of the beautiful pastels and whites, I just can't wait to pull them all out. This beautiful blouse from from Pleione is perfect for spring. The soft color tones paired with white is my absolute favorite. You can find Pleione at Nordstrom.com. They have an amazing line of clothing with different styles for all body types. Make sure to check them out, as well as my favorite Pleione items listed below. XOXO
Oh, and apparently my hands are ALWAYS in my hair (as you can see by these photos) WHOOPS! Judge me I dare you! ;)
Golden Hour
Effortless is the word that comes to mind when I styled this outfit. Thanks to Umgee U.S.A & Antik Kraft the effortless look came easy. I absolutely adore this printed detailed baby doll dress. It is so carefree with a bohemian & eclectic appeal. It is the perfect dress to throw on for a relaxing day out. To accessorize the look, I paired the dress with my new favorite purse from Antik Kraft. As you can tell from prior posts, I am all about the fringe this spring season. Who wouldn't be? It is festival season! This studded fringe bag and this mixed print peasant dress is a match made in heaven. Shop my look below!

Peek of Lace
I love the look of a low cut blouse, but sometimes it can be uncomfortable to have a deep neckline- especially for everyday wear. I discovered this amazing bracelet from Free People that allows me to still enjoy plunging necklines while adding a little extra feminine detail and more importantly, coverage! I've been saving this breezy Joie blouse (from Marshalls for only $30!) for when I found the perfect under layer. At first, I wasn't sure if the blue was too much, but it added the fun pop of color and matched my clutch perfectly.
Also, can we talk about my sandals real quick.
I've been in LOVE with the Stuart Weitzman Cava sandals since the first time I saw them. Yes, love. Everything about them just screamed me, well, except the hefty price tag. That's why I woke up at 4:30am to bid on them on Ebay. We do crazy things for love ;)
Thank you for reading and your continued support!!
All About This Denim Skirt
Skirt//UrbanOutfitters...Top//Topshop via Nordstrom...Purse//MMS Design Studio
Anything denim usually captures my heart and this season, denim skirts have done just that. They totally give any look a girly 70's vibe that makes you feel like you may have been Penny Lane (Almost Famous) in a past life...(or at least maybe one of her friends). Also thanks to MMS Design Studio I have a perfect go-to purse! Its like a hybrid between a classic tote and a trendy drawstring bucket bag, which makes it totally versatile and on trend. Shop my look below!!!
The White Cape
Oh how I love a blazer and a jacket over my shoulders so that just makes this cape blazer the perfect piece in my wardrobe! I absolutely love this dress from MayTheLabel in Australia.
Also, lately all of my purses that I have been wearing have been from Miztique Bags and the purses I chose are so versatile from a day look to a night look which is so great! I love how they use an all gold chain as I feel it adds a certain chic look!

Skort the Rules
Happy Saturday, babes! Needless to say I went a little uptown with today’s look. Can you believe how cool this unique skort is? The last time I wore a skort I think I was probably tackling the monkey bars. This one, obviously, is a little different; a skort 2.0, if you will.
One of my blogger friends told me it was a pants cape— most accurate description ever. This multi-tasking bottom has really reemerged over the past few seasons, but often leaves the less daring fashionistas a little confused. I obviously dressed this look way up, but it’s so easy to wear this look casually. You could dress this way down with a graphic tee, utility vest, and a statement necklace. These tennies would be cute, or a flat gladiator sandal. Good to go!
This particular skort is from a shop in the south called Orchids and Spice. They have really awesome and unique pieces; this is only $45 and 10% off with the code CandC10 at checkout. I’m also obsessed with this dress from them. Next order for sure!
They also have this really cool program to get a huge discount (even bigger than your C+C code) off your Orchids and Spice orders called the Golden Ticket. At checkout, just select the option that you want a Golden Ticket with your package. When you get it, you just give it to a girlfriend! It has a discount code on it, and they’ll get 15% off their order and you’ll both get $10 off your next purchase.
