Steals & Deals

Finally, I think my outfit for Saturdays 80's bash is complete.  I am going to save the blog for after the party as I think a lot of you are going to pee your pants when you see my shirt {I said this last night and for some reason it seems the most fitting phrase to describe it's awesomeness}.

While out last night finding finishing touches for my outfit I also found this ring.  From Forever 21......

The best part? She was $2.80!!  I couldn't find her online so you will have to venture to a store. I know... it sounds horrible but if you go Tuesday evening it's not that bad.

Here are some others I think I am going to add to my collection of cheap, turn your finger green rings...

The best part is they are all less then $5.... I am going to need a new jewelry box.   I thought I was too old for Forever 21 but I guess I'm not.... oops.

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.

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

Fall Must Have.... Statement Necklaces

Sorry for the delay in posts lately... I've been a busy lady and this weekend was Southern Boy's birthday! {Happy Birthday to yooouuu one last time!} I am back and promise to stop neglecting you fabulous people!  As is maybe obvious, I love jewelry, however I'm not a big earring person... not sure why.  But I LOVE LOVE lovelovelovelove big statement necklaces!  They are my favorite way to jazz {yep, I said jazz} up ANY outfit.  Here are some of my favorites I am drooling over....



Top Left: Robert Rodriguez Multi Strand Coin Necklace $285
Top Right: Theodora & Callum Cleopatra Necklace $365

Bottom Left: Oscar de la Renta Smoky Glass Necklace $545

Bottom Right: Nest Clustered Howlite Necklace $350

 Above are all from Neiman Marcus Direct.  Gold is the best, easiest way to incorporate a big necklace like this into your wardrobe.  I have lots of strands of gold chains I wear together, sometimes I add my favorite vintage owl necklace into the gold chain mix to add a little extra!



Top Left: Kate Spade Spotlight Bib $248 $124 Top Middle: Kate Spade Gold Rush Collar $248
Top Right: Kate Spade Cut to the Chase Bib $148.
Bottom Left: Hazel Symth Labrodorite Long Deco Diamond and Stone $320 Bottom Middle & Right:  Deco Bubbles on Chain $330

These are my drool worthy necklaces for Fall. Perfect with tailored wide leg trousers, silk top, and blazer.  Or a perfectly cut striped shift dress.

Hope everyone had as wonderful weekend a weekend as I did!

Vintage Jewelry

So, you know I'm in Wichita but I don't know if I ever said why.  I am in town for a family reunion on my dad's side.  It starts tomorrow but my immediate family is trickling in today... {2 sisters, 1 brother, 1 brother-in-law, 2 nieces, 1 nephew}.  Last night my mom and I went through old boxes of my dad's parents things that we had acquired.  I hit the jackpot in box 2 when I found lots of vintage jewelry my Grandma used to wear!  There was also an old saddle bag I plan on adding to my bag collection....

Unfortunately we decided that as siblings we would go through a line and pick what we want one by one.  There is a lot more jewelry than this, however my heart kind of dropped.  These were my favorite pieces, I especially want the long white drop necklace {I am fairly certain I would wear this almost everyday}, the pearl necklace and earring set, the necklace with the caged tourmaline stone, and the pocket watch {which I would put on a long gold chain}.... oops... I bet that's not going to happen.  I can't wait to hear the stories behind each piece when my Aunt is here tomorrow!

I also acquired some of my mom's mom {my Granny's} pieces of vintage clothing while here.  I am postive if I took pictures and posted people would make fun of me so I am going to put together "What I Wore" posts for Fall so you can see my vision :)

I will keep you posted on what I get in the pickings!

xoxo,

Molly
