Belt it Out

January 11, 2011 by

The one thing I was most excited about post pregnancy(besides, ya know, having the baby) was wearing a belt ! The trend is taking us down the skinny minnie lane as far as belts go as of lately. I’m totally on board with the skinny belted cardi look, the monochromatic outfit with a skinny belt accent and they look great wearing multiples stacked too. Here are some fantabulous skinny belts. How do you wear your skinny?

  2. Gap, Skinny Leather Bow Belt
  3. Charlotte Russe, Skinny Minnie Bow Belt
  4. Charlotte Russe, Trio Skinny Belts

Stud Muffin

November 11, 2010 by

Der did a post a while back on stud earrings and I felt like I needed to revisit the theory of less is more in the earring arena.  I’ve been gravitating towards studs lately because they sure are easy to wear.  Do you wear studs often? Do you go through phases?  I think I go through phases with studs FO SHO. And right now these are striking my fancy.

  1. Charlotte Russe, Rhinestone Square Studs
  2. Nordstrom, Kate Spade New York Triple Stone Stud Earrings
  3. Sundance Catalog, Luster and Smoke Earrings
  4. Etsy, Small Hoop Stud Earrings

Ring a Ding Ding Ding Dong

November 5, 2010 by

I love cocktail jewelry, I would rather take the money I’d spend on one piece of nice jewelry and buy upteen million pieces of cocktail jewelry. The one exception being my wedding ring, of course. Which still doesn’t fit post baby,by the way. (omg so annoying) So, until I can squeeze my sausage finger back into my ring, I’ll be sporting some pretty cocktailness on my finger. Are y’all real jewelry or cocktail gals?

  1. Charlotte Russe, Assymetrical Geode Ring
  2. Charlotte Russe, Gold Armor Ring
  3. Old Navy, Womens Cocktail Ring
  4. Old Navy, Dome Cocktail Ring
