Threads of the Day: It’s All In The Details

It was such a beautiful afternoon in Atlanta the other day, I decided to take a few quick outfit pics before I headed out. It’s clearly easier when I have someone to take them for me, so just bare with me and enjoy the accessory highlights.

What I’m wearing:

Floral sports jacket: H&M
White tank: Forever 21
Leather Pants: H&M
Vintage Versace Necklace: my grandmothers 
Michael Kors Watch
Gold Point Bracelet & Stone Ring: Ka’la
Black Sandals: Zara
OPI Skyfall Collection nail polish in “Tomorrow Never Dies”

 

I love taking a simple outfit and really completing it by piling on the jewelry. Accessories are my best friends … preferably gold!


time to add some color to my nails…

It was warm enough for me to trade in my boots for a pair of open toe sandals, and that’s exactly what I did. I found these little gems at Zara on sale for like $10 (talk about a score) last summer. Zara has some of the best shoes, just make sure you get them when you see them, because most of the times they won’t be there (in your size) when you come back.

How do you like to style your simple outfits to make them your own?

Threads of the Day: Panels, Crosses, & Gaudy Jewelry

When you don’t have your camera with you … there’s always Instagram :) This was actually a look from this past Saturday while just running errands on a beautiful day in the A. I wanted to wear something comfortable but still cute for an easy transition from day wear to cocktails with my girlfriend.

Who said you can’t be cute on a budget?

What I’m wearing:

Topshop wedge sneakers
H&M army green jacket
Forever21 black cross t-shirt
H&M black panel leggings
Urban Outfitters tortoise shell framed glasses

Aaannndd a closer look at the accessories … my favorite Michael Kors watch, and 2 costume rings I picked up at a boutique here in Atlanta. You can’t see that well from the view in this picture, but it’s an elephant on my index finger … hehe it’s the details that matter!

My inner kitten came out to play later on that night. Here’s a glimpse of what I wore to dance the night away :)

Decided on a blow out and vampy lip for the evening …

(White cut out dress: Topshop , Lace thigh highs: can’t remember , Sam Edelman vixen boots (not pictured). ) 

And I can’t forget to leave home without my Gucci Premiere fragrance. Such a sexy scent!


 What do you have planned for this weekend?

Anna Dello Russo for H&M Collection (Pics!)

“Accessories are like vitamins to fashion — as such, you should use them liberally.” ~Anna Dello Russo

Sooo… Anna Dello Russo’s newest collaboration with H&M is super SICK!!! For those who don’t know who Anna Dello Russo is, click here to find out.

According to WWW , the line consists of 50 items including jewelry, sunglasses, shoes, bags, and travel luggage. What’s the price? It ranges from $24.95 for a pair of earrings to $299 for a pair of sassy thigh high black leather boots.

Now yall know how much I love accessories and how many pieces are on my wish list? Too many! They just released images of the new collection and her pieces are definitely full of sass. I get a thrill off things that look expensive but really aren’t ;)

These are some of my favorite pieces from the collection. You can check out the rest here.

It gets even better. Dello Russo pledged to donate a portion of her commission for the H&M collection to the Japanese branch of the International Red Cross. Way to give back Anna :)

The collection launches October 4th. I’m not going to lie, I’m pressed to get my hands on a lot of her stuff lol.

What do you think? Are you feeling the line?

Friday Find: Linda Farrow x The Row Sunglass Wannabes

Today’s “Friday Find” also doubles up as a “Look For Less” … well aren’t you lucky ;)

I’ve had my eyes on these Linda Farrow x Row sunglasses Beyonce’s been spotted in numerous times, for a while. Buuut … I’m not quick to drop $400 for some sunglasses. So, thank goodness for friends in high places especially on the West coast! You have to use your resources right?

It’s such a great feeling to discover a look for less! My friend and stylist in LA trolled through the valley of Venice Beach for some Beyonce shade look-a-likes and stumbled up on gold! Yay :)

How much were they? 

$10 (+ shipping) … #POW! 

And that will do me just fine :)

So ladies, find your friends in high places and make some magic happen! Why go broke when you can be creative?

Thanks Ciera

Friday Find: Coco & Breezy’s Exposed X-Ray Vision Backpack

In other where the heck have I been news, todays dope “Friday Find” is from Coco & Breezy

These ladies are talented even outside of designing original and unique sunglasses for all the cool kids. I may be late, but I just stumbled up on their Exposed X-Ray Vision Backpack which gives the illusion of looking through an x-ray device to see the contents inside the backpack (duh lol). 

Coco & Breezy said it better:

“The metallic represents the mirror to see the reflection that beholds one. You see the outside of a person, which has hidden means. 

The mystery that you thought was enclosed behind the shades of C&&B …. are not #Exposed.”


The Exposed X-Ray Vision Backpack retails at $60 and can be found on their website. Check out the pics of the backpack below. 

Bonus: You can receive a complimentary “X-Ray Vision” pouch with the purchase of the exposed backpack. Gotta protect your shades right?!

Would you rock it?
