The Daily Bling - Thursday, May 6

I know, I know. Another non-jewelry item daily bling. But hear us out. We just weren't fully inspired by any traditional jewelry pieces today (gasp) and it is a crossbody bag so it will ornate your look at the very least!! Finally, we just couldn't resist featuring this too sweet for words vintage inspired find from our NEW favorite website obsession - Nasty Gal.

We know the website name sounds, well, funny but believe us if you haven't yet been to ShopNastyGal.com you better get your butt over there! We were recently introduced to this amaze vintage and vintage inspired e-shop via The Coveted and can't get enough. We wanted to order EVERYTHING on this site. But the good news is most things we wanted were actually affordable for once!

Take today's bling for example, the Bonbon Mini Pouch. Its as sweet as a bonbon and at a price we can stomach - it's only $80! We picture Katy Perry rocking this one but think you could get away with it too! This metallic gold crossbody bag is embellished with a rainbow of pastel crystal accents and features a luxe looking gold chain link strap. We think its would like oh-so-cute on a pastel silk jumper with some wedges for a night out on the town or with one of spring's bustier style dresses if you really want to put on the charm.

This is just one of the many super cool finds on Nasty Gal - so please don't let the website's name deter you and see for yourselves!

Daily Bling - Wednesday, May 5th

We came across this Anthropologie necklace and instantly needed to a double take. Is it cooper? Is it wooden? Is that metallic or natural? One thing is for sure.... we love it!

The Drifting Rings necklace actually is all of those things! The resin rings are flanked by two cooper beads on a gold cotton chain. We think its got a natural hippie vibe that would make this statement piece the perfect selection if you are headed to the beach soon. We'd love to see it paired with a white maxi dress or with some denim shorts and a chiffon tunic (ala Nicole Richie).

At $48 it will make a statement without breaking your bank. You can purchase it here at Anthropologie.

Met Ball Style File

Everyone and their mother has covered this year's Met Ball style but because I like to throw my two cents into the mix I breakdown my fav. looks for the evening from head to toe.

When choosing these looks its important to know that I took into consideration the full deal - from dress, to makeup, hair, jewels and of course shoes! (this is an accessories blog after all...)

Look 4: Sarah Jessica Parker in Vintage Halston and Fred Leighton Jewels

We love SJP in this vintage halston dress. She looks positively glowing in the light metallic gold and the Carrie flower in her hair gets us even more excited for SATC 2!

Look #3: Anne Hathaway in Valentino and Bulgari Jewels

Although a little under-accessorized if you ask us (she could have done some bangles) Anne Hathaway looked like a dream in this gorg. goldy-beige Valentino princess dress.

Look #2: Gwen Stefani in L.A.M.B and Lorraine Schwartz Jewels

Gwen look so cool in this L.A.M.B dress (her own design!) that's all on trend for the evening in a metallic shade. We love her red lips and layers of bangles as well as the black underlay of the dress. Its just a little rock-n-roll and a lot of pretty.

Look #1: Sienna Miller in Emilio Pucci and Solange Azagury-Partridge

Besides the fact that Sienna Miller is our girl crush, we have to say she really takes home the prize for best overall look at the Met Gala. The hair, jewels, dress and hello, those Pucci shoes! She looks young, on-trend, fun and glamorous all and one. And Jude Law on her arm, well now thats not an accessory you can just pick up at the store....

The Daily Bling - Tuesday, May 4

Maybe it's because its wedding season or maybe its the fact that the Met Gala was last night but we are in formal wear mode! Our favorite look to dress up a black-tie look? Statement earrings! They do the trick everytime, no matter the style of the dress, and look gorg. whether you are wearing your hair up or down.

We've mentioned our love for Grayce by Molly Sims before and after checking out her latest collection we think its safe to say she has the best vintage inspired statement earring for the Spring season! We especially love today's daily bling, the Colored Crystal Drop Earrings in Light Pink. We are eying them as a compliment to our charcoal colored bridesmaid gown for an upcoming wedding but think they'd compliment just about any formal look. Antique Gold plated, this vintage inspired style comes in a beautiful rainbow of colored crystal options (including amythest which we also love) but the pink color is so feminine and luxurious that it has our pick!

You can purchase these on the newly launched Grayce by Molly Sims website for $95.

The Daily Bling - Monday, May 3rd

We first noticed this new "horizontal" charm necklace trend when we were out in Los Angeles at Fred Segal. Instead of going up and down, designers are hanging their charms fro left to right, reminding us a little of those old school name plates, but in a much more 2010 kinda way.


One of our favs? Gorjana's Vine Necklace in Gold from their Spring 2010 collection. We love the antique feel of this necklace and think the vine makes a bold statement that says "i'm not just another little gold necklace" with its horizontal positioning. It would be an absolute great everyday piece and can be easily worn with every outfit from work to weekend.


You can find this Gorjana necklace at ShopBop.com at the moderate price of $58.

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!

What I Wore Weekends

It's been a busy weekend but I think its safe to say wedding season has begun! We have two (count it), two bridal showers this weekend - one on Long Island and on in NYC.

I dont usually like to do posts featuring moi, but my weekend escapades inspired me to start a new series on the blog called "What I Wore Weekends" where I break down my fav. looks from my weekend, how I wore them, accessorized them and where I went with them.

Its a challenge to have two bridal showers in a row, as I had to plan two cute (similar) looks to wear back to back. My challenges? Unusually warm weather in the New York area and skin thats peeling like woah after my sunburn from St. Lucia. I solved both by wearing cap sleeve sundresses and purchasing an Ann Taylor cardigan with elbow length sleeves (although it was too hot to wear today!)

Shower 1 was a beautiful Long Island shower at an adorable eatery out east. The shower was for a very good friend of mine from high school and I wanted to look put together yet still casual and country-ish. I opted for a Marc by Marc Jacobs cotton sundress in liliac from last season and accessorized it with the thin cardigan from Ann Taylor with crystal buttons, long layers of pearls and silver chains and blush colored ribbons, my bone "bow" sling back nude pumps and blush Marc Jacobs bag. I dont have a great picture yet but here is a snippet of the look below. I'm calling this look "vintage chic."

I'm on the right in both pics with my friend from HS, Lindsey...

For bridal shower #2, my college friend, Lindsay's, at the swanky Gramercy Park Hotel in NYC I opted for a bolder, more dressed up look. I paired my silk chiffon tiered Ombre Madison Marcus dress I got at Intermix two years ago and am still L-O-V-I-N-G with black CL pumps, my black Chanel quilted bag, and layers of gold and crystal J. Crew long necklaces and Michael Kors gold watch. I'm calling this one "city sophisticate."

All in all, I think both looks were appropriate and fun and very me! And now off to the bachelorette parties!
