I'm Baaack! How I Wore It Vegas Recap

I'm baaack! Vegas was a fun time with my girls --- probably too fun ---but it lent me some inspiration for the old bloggie since this particular travel group is probably the most fashionable group of girls I know! Getting together with them is always fun and fashionable! Everyone trades their fashion, beauty and style tips; its like my real life SATC!

See a group shot below and I think you will get what I am talking about! I am in the center-ish in the silver and mauve striped sequin dress from H&M's Fall Collection with my Jimmy Choo for H&M clutch and studded leather gladiator heels.

And for the daytime?It was all about the bathing suit and Ray Bans. I wore a new one from Victoria's Secret in an abstract colored leopard print. I finished the look with a cotton Victoria's Secret romper and Tory Burch flip flops!

It was such a fun weekend but now that I am back in the swing of things I'll be back to regularly schedule daily bling post beginning tomorrow am!

Daily Bling - Thursday, May 28

Today's Daily Bling is a Gilt Groupe find by designer Chan Luu, who is known for her unique woven and beaded bracelets. These leather woven bracelets are all the rage right now, but we decided to choose this one to feature because a) we love the loose braided construction, it sets it apart from the other wrap around bracelets we've seen b) purple is our favorite color, so selfishly we are drawn to this mix of purple beads.

This bracelet is normally $204 (I know, I know but in fairness Chan Luu is the master at this style and every celeb from Lady Gaga to Nicole Richie has been seen in this collection). The good news is you can currently scoop it up on Gilt for $98. We know that's still expensive but if you have admired Chan Luu as we have for some time, this is a really great price for one of her designs.

On a side note, I know posts have been sparse this week but between the boyf's bday (which is tomorrow!!), my coworker's last week at the office and my upcoming trip to Vegas I have been crazed! I am actually leaving for my friend Lindsay's bachelorette tomorrow so while I'm away for the Memorial Day Holiday I will be on a BBB hiatus. Don't worry though I'll be back, and probably with a lot of Las Vegas inspiration, on Tuesday!

Have a safe and fun long weekend!

Daily Bling - Wednesday, May 26

We are absolutely loving Jasmine Pennama Jewelry - a unique line by native NYer and now Los Angeles transport, Jasmine P. herself. We recently found her line via twitter (again, I love how twitter connects me to all things fabulous) and upon viewing the pieces fell in love.

Our favorite piece in the line? Today's Daily Bling - the Carrie Cuff - featured above. The Carrie Cuff is comprised of 24K Fused Hammered Gold and features a gorg. oversized black Agate stone as its centerpiece. We love cuff's and agate stones this season and put them together? Perfection! We think this piece would look absolutely fab. with just about anything but would love to see it shine on a simple outfit -we are thinking black skinny jeans and a white tank.

You can find out more about the line and this piece at Jasmine Pennamma's website.

How I Wore It Weekend

This weekend I had a lovely family dinner to attend at the yummy and gorgeous Prime Restaurant on Long Island in honor of my uncle's 60th bday. What did I decide to wear?

• White Ruched Sleeve H&M Tee Shirt
• Ann Taylor Loft Grey Embellished Cardigan
• Aqua Silver & Lucite Statement Necklace
• J. Crew Poplin Wednesday Skirt
• Silver and Lucite Nine West Open Toe Pumps (3 seasons old and in again!)
• Marc Jacobs Classic Blake Leather Bag in Natural (not shown in this pic)

I'm pictured here with my chic cousin Lauren who is wearing the gorg. Free People Lace Layered Skirt. How cute is she?

Weekend Bling - 5/22 - 5/23

Today's Daily Bling is both gorgeous and unique as well as super-duper affordable. We found Kellyssima's jewelry line on Etsy via Twitter (don't you just love how much you learn and find out about through Twitter?) and we have just fell in love the line's one-of-a-kind vintage allure.

We love today's bling called the "Wrapped Up" ring not only because its gorg but also because of its unique construction. Its made up of a vintage faux pearl cameo and brass spoon. That's right, a spoon people! We love the faux pear detailing and heart shapped end of the spoon the wraps around the top and lays right below the knuckle. It's so fem and so funky - it's just a very special piece.

And what's better? It's only $13 dollar on Kellyssima's Etsy Shop. You must check this out and the rest of this super cool vintage inspired line!

Daily Bling - Friday, May 21

Maybe its that purple is my favorite color or maybe it was the Caribbean chic vibe of the Real Housewives of NY last night or maybe its even my new found obsession with crystals (but not in a creepy Spencer Pratt sorta way) but I am absolutely in LOVE with these gorgeous, luxurious, amethyst and agate earrings from Devon Leigh.

I've talked about designer Devon Leigh's genius work with gemstones and druzzy stones before, so I wont harp on it again but all I can say is that if you love natural looking stone work and hippie-chic southwestern inspired jewelry you MUST check out this line. We would absolutely love to wear these earrings all summer long - at the beach, for summer weddings, out at night with friends and even to the office.

These gorg. Devon Leigh stunners are available for purchase on her website for $355.
