Jewelry Spotlight :: Kendra Scott

Hello beautiful {and handsome...} readers!! I hope you all had a wonderful and relaxing weekend, I know i sure did. Homemade pizza last night and a whole day of playing with my niece Claire {2 year old sassy lady} couldn't of made for a better Sunday!

Last week I received an invite to the Press Only cocktail event at the store opening of Kendra Scott in the West Village! I am so excited to attend next week and immediately perused the website. To get everyone excited for the upcoming store opening and upcoming interview I will post, I thought I would pick out my favs from the website.

Kendra Scott :: Ryder Ring in Black :: $60

I love this ring! I am kind of obsessed with rings and this would be a great one to add to my collection for everyday wear. It would add just enough extra amazingingness to any outfit from cocktail to jeans and a tee.

Kendra Scott :: Celeste Cuff in White :: $120

This cuff would go perfect with the arm party I occasionally wear {tons of gold/silver/stone bangles + a big gold watch}. This would be a great way to mix it up! I have seen cuffs like this before but I completely adore the feathers that wrap around.

Kendra Scott :: Tyler Necklace in Marine :: $160

Statement necklaces are ESSENTIAL!! If you don't have one in your closet... get one!! Oh look... why don't you get the KS Tyler necklace? It comes in 2 other fab colors as well. I have several go to statement necklaces, they are perfect for pairing with anything and upping the outfit ante {poker reference? yep... I did it...} immediately.

Kendra Scott :: Wren Earrings in coral :: $70

I think it's safe to say that Kendra specializes in earrings... if you're not familiar with them go here NOW. I love her classic looks but when I saw these I got excited! They are a different look than the delicate stones she usually does. Imagine these with white skinny jeans, a white blazer, and cobalt blue pumps in the spring... yummy!! You can even create your very own earrings with her "Color Me" section, such a brilliant idea. Go here to see what I created... and to create your own.

Stay tuned after November 17th for an exclusive interview with Kendra herself!! Send me an email or comment below with any questions you'd like me to drill her with.

xoxo,

Molly

P.S. Thunderstorms outside + homemade pot roast stew + pumpkin cupcakes + Gossip Girl = an amazing Monday night.

Designer Spotlight :: Tibi

I have decided that I am going to {over the course of MANY months} spotlight my 10 favorite lines ever! I have already kind of done 2... Marchesa and JCrew. I know those are across the board but that's why I say 10. I mean my favorite lines I actually wear, and my favorite lines to dream about wearing someday.

I am going to kick this off with Tibi! I recently got a gorgeous yellow chiffon strapless Tibi dress at Neiman Marcus Last Call for $35... no I'm not kidding. My friend and I searched the garment for something REALLY wrong with it and couldn't find anything. So I went to the register thinking they were going to tell me there was a huge mistake... nope. The girl was actually clueless to what Tibi was and told me the original price of the dress was $118... "What a good deal you got!" she said. I held back from yelling "THE ORIGINAL PRICE WAS PROBABLY $350 not $118!!!"... to try not to startle her. It might be 1 or 2 sizes too big but I will make it work.

Anyway, back to the point. Tibi is one of my favorite lines of all time. Although I am not to a point of being able to afford it at retail prices, I can sometimes afford it on sale.. {exp: story above} but if I could afford it I'd literally own every single piece. It's perfectly feminine but with a touch of preppiness and edge that is perfectly my style.

Here are a few of my favorites from Fall 2011.... Just a few, I had a really hard time narrowing down.

You can see the runway shows and the rest of the amazing collections at http://www.tibi.com/! I am obsessed with everything... EVERYTHING they offer!
