Daily Bling - Thursday, July 15

I love bangles this summer. My motto? The more, the better! There is nothing more summery and easy to wear then today's daily bling bangle from one of our go-to favs. for cool jewels, Banana Republic.

I decided to stop by Banana on my way home from work today because I heard their mid-summer sale was excellent. I was pleasently surprised to find some of my FAVORITE pieces of summer jewelry seriously discounted! I scooped up a slightly different, slightly skinnier version of the bangle above for only $10. And today's bling isn't much more, it's only $15.

So run, don't walk, ladies if you love BR's jewelry selection as much as we do! Statement necklaces, cocktail rings, and chic bracelets and bangles are all on sale.

Daily Bling - Friday, July 9

Here at Booties, Bags and Baubles we LOVE a good sale! Right now ShopBop is having one of their biggest sales of the year with items up to 70% off. Among the sale we found some of our most favorite, most fab picks of the summer seriously discounted including today's Daily Bling by Kenneth Jay Lane.

It must be said that KJL has done some of his greatest work in the last two seasons. We have seriously been admiring the chic snakeskin jewelery in the collection including this Snake Print Pendant Necklace all season long. With the statement necklace being the big trend of the season, I think we have neglected to give props to the long pendant necklace look this year. We think if you are going to add another long necklace to your collection this year then you should do it here and now! This tribal/hippie chic piece is on sale for just $62 - a true steal for Kenneth Jay Lane!

To Sample Sale, or Not to Sample Sale: Rebecca Minkoff Edition

Spending money in New York is awfully easy. Not only are our rent's high, our groceries more expensive and having a parking spot considered a true luxury but there are all sorts of other other tempting, expensive side effects of being a NYer. One of these is the seasonal sample sale. With nearly every top designer having a sample sale after every season its hard for the fashion-obsessed to save money. Even though you are getting a deal technically, the sample sale makes it hard to resist the shopping itch and such is true with this week's highlight: the Rebecca Minkoff seasonal sale.

We resisted the urge to go to the RM sale all week even though we have been dying to get our hand's on one of her bags (this was hard to do with all the chatter about how awesome the sale was on Twitter). With a busy work week it was nearly impossible to get there anyway, but alas on the last day (today) I finally caved. And let me tell you I wanted everything! Neon cross-body's, studded clutches, and MABs galore. Buying just one was hard enough. I think I ended up making the right choice- I scooped up this lovely Black Darling Bag, picture below.

I needed an x-large black bag for work purposes, which is why I went with the Darling. It's just a little rocker with the gold zipper detailing and fringe. It's not over the top or too trendy, but still super cute. I really wanted to buy this super hot grey mini MAB with neon pink detailing as well - but alas I couldn't justify the purchase and decided to buy what I needed instead of what I just wanted. We got it for about 60% off which we say is pretty good. What do you think of the purchase?

Daily Bling - Thursday, May 13

Sometimes you just need a little pick me up. Not something too extravagant or pricey. Just something to put you in a good mood and lift your spirits. That's what I LOVE about accessories - and especially cheapie, super cute accessories like this bangle from Forever 21.

We think the Forever 21 Floral Painted Bamboo Bracelet would make a sweet edition to any Spring look. We'd especially like to see it paired with an off-white lace dress or top and skirt and some sky high wedges (like maybe or go to Michael Kors pair from last season). We could also imagine it as the finishing touch to one of those "mixed patterns" looks we are seeing for Spring. We are imagining it with a cropped striped top and pair of silk mini shorts to get this vintage inspired style.

You can't go wrong with this little mood booster! The bangle is available on F21's website for only $5.80.

My New Favorite Flat! How Yosi Samra Became My New Obsession...

Feast your eyes ladies! If you are looking for a new flat that looks great and isn't ridiculously priced I have found what you need. I was recently introduced to these Yosi Samra fold-up gold flats and really have found one of my new ABSOLUTE favorite things.

I needed a new good pair of gold flats to wear to and from the office or actually at the office when I'm not feeling heels for the day and have totally ruined my Tory Burch Reva Gold Flats after two years of wearin' em to death. I really didnt want to just replace the Reva's (they really are expensive after all) but I wanted a pair of flats that were comfortable, still good quality and of course, fashionable and cute.

The Yosi Samra's are it. When I first put them on I felt like my foot was put into a little slipper. I couldnt believe I could wear something so comfortable out in public! But next, I noticed just how cute they are. The metallic leather is a gorg. soft quality and the elastic band around the inside of the flat give them a distinguishable style touch - you know they are Yosi's. I also L-O-V-E how they fold up - they fit even in my smallest daytime bags. And finally, as I mentioned the price is right! At $55 dollars I really want to buy these in every color! And I could - they come in a rainbow of colors from solids to metallics (and I'm personally eying the rose gold ones now...)

I highly, highly recommend if you are looking for a flat to pick up a pair of Yosi Samra's. You can find them here and believe me you won't regret the purchase!

The Daily Bling - Monday, April 26

In the spirit of providing you more affordable options in bling I draw inspiration from Ann Taylor Loft's spring sale going on now online and in stores.

I did some major Ann Taylor shopping this weekend with my mom and on a side note from this daily bling it must be said that I love, love, love their line this Spring. Yes, of course, it reminds us of J. Crew but they also have some other different looks (like super cute leggings and long jersey vests) that you wouldnt find from J. Crew. They also have some great wedges very Tory Burch like in style that we may or may not be purchasing soon.

Today's bling is obvi Ann Taylor Loft and very, very gorg and different if you ask us. We are loving the lariat trend in jewelry for Spring as we are also loving the agate/druzy gemstones we are seeing and this necklace has both. The color of lavender of these agate stones is just stunning and we also love the detailing of the chain - strands of big and small chain links make it very hip. You can scoop this up and more from the Spring Sale online now but you better hurry before it all sells out!

The Daily Bling - Thursday, April 22

I'm back from St. Lucia and in a much more laid-back, summer state of mind! This new found vibe transitions me to today's exquisite, oceanic daily bling which I lusted over during some "online window shopping" at Gilt Groupe's Kevia sale yesterday.

Kevia is known for their gorgeous gold "lace" detailing, beautiful use of gemstones, and African inspiration and we are just in love with this line! Kevia Jewelry's sale on Gilt Groupe is still live and we highly recommend you check it out. We just love the delicate gold and gemstone artistry of the pieces. The Blue Topez Ring just got sold out unfort. but if you love it you must check out their other blue topez and gold jewelry! All the pieces (including a gorgeous matching necklace and earrings btw) reminds me of the crystal clear blue of a cloudless summer sky or the beautiful waves of the Caribbean sea. Both myself and my coworker couldn't resist picking up one of their beautiful cocktail rings and if you check out their sale I think you will see why!

If you just must have this ring also check out Kevia's website for more info on the line and where to buy.

On a side note a very special shoot out to my mom (and devout BBB reader) for her birthday today! Love you mom!

Fashionably Yours,

The Daily Bling - Monday, March 29th

We love Banana Republic's jewelry collection for its vintage appeal. I am constantly getting compliments on my BR statement necklaces and woven clasp bracelets from their Fall and Winter seasons. No one EVER thinks I got them at banana. Their new Spring Collection pieces are no different in their substantial quality and unique design.

Our favorite new piece is the Rain Shadow Bracelet. Its so sweet with its ribbon and lucite detailing but also a little edgy with its mixed metal and beaded woven strands. Its the perfect bracelet to wear with a neutral palette of beiges, blushes, and grays.

Banana Republic's Rain Shadow Bracelet is a no-brainer wardrobe-enhancer at only $39.

FAB FIND! Rosegold Marni Pumps

RoseGold Marni Leather Pump in Cream

Remember those awesome Miu Miu Flesh-Tone caged pumps we were obessed with? Well we never actually purchased them (sad face) because we didnt feel like spending the $600 it would take to bring them home and they were sold out in our size. Well people, I know alot of you loved them as much as I did so this will come as some great news! Rosegold, a really fab yet slightly lower price point line, has almost the EXACT looking shoe in cream and black and at $158- a fraction of the price of the Miu Mius!! (don't you just LOVE a deal sometimes?)

Now lets take a look at the side-by-side. Sorry Miu Miu, my mind is made up I'm DEF getting these pumps!

You can scoop yours up at luxury online shoe destination (and a favorite of store of mine being the Long Island native that I am) Jildor.com

The Daily Bling - Thursday, March 4th

Today's Daily Bling is a get-it-while-its-hot kinda item! J. Crew announced yesterday that they added some more items to their final sale and they have a great selection in jewelry!! We have always admired the Bijoux Pear Bracelet and its now available for $30 from its original $68 price point - more than 50% OFF! We love it for its rose gold detailing and light violet crystals - so feminine and fun! There are a lot of beautiful and recent collection pieces on sale including the lovely Dogwood Flower Necklace we featured in our "Spring Neutrals" post!

On a side note, I know I have maybe been abusing my love for J. Crew's jewelry on this blog (and in the daily bling as of late) so I promise this will be my last J. Crew Daily Bling for at least a week (which is gonna be hard)! I just couldnt resist sharing the final sale news with you.

Check out the sale here: J. Crew Final Sale. Happy Shopping and let us know which J. Crew final sale item you pick up in the comments!

Fashionably Yours,
