Spotlight on Accessories

Accessory spotlight......1. Fenton necklace, 2. Rebecca Minkoff headphones, 3. Cynthia Rowley flask bracelet. It's a triple party-one for your neck, one for your ears, and a cocktail on your arm!! 

I love a good stack!

Stackable Rings......No finger or knuckle should be forgotten.  And remember, you can never have too many.....never! :) 

Girl Crush......

Yes my friends, you read that right. I have decided that this is what I am going to call this ever growing affection for this incredibly talented lady ( not Ina creepy way, but in a cool respectful way FYI) 

Man Repeller's one and only Leandra Medine.........

Aside from the fact that she writes with a razor sharp wit and intelligence, her style continues to draw these unintentional "oh's" and "mmm's" of titilated delight from my brain. 

Since a picture is worth a thousand words so here are some examples of why I'm crushing.....

That saved me about 4,000 words....thank goodness because I don't have that much vocabulary in me today.  So, to continue in the "strong & silent"  mode a few more pics for your viewing pleasure..

The great thing about these photos is that even though they are from different seasons and years they remain fashionably relevant.  That is one of my goals with my own wardrobe-timeless style that always seems effortless. 

Thanks for being such an inspirational writer and fashionista. Forgive the assumption as I have never met her, but I'm pretty sure she is one kick-ass kind of gal!

ITEM OF THE DAY & OOTD

One of the basics that I have long loved--the boyfriend jean.   That magical combination of comfort and style.  Theses are jeans are like a fine wine and actually get better with age...I still wear a pair at I bought at least ten years ago before they even had the title  "boyfriend jean" :) 

So my IOTD (item of the day) is part of my OOTD (outfit of the day). 

Reiss blazer, Celine bag, Jmmy Choo flats, Zoe Karssen sweatshirt, & Current Elliot jeans

Packing for Coachella..........

Jean shorts, maxi "hippie" Dress, Bikini/Coverup combo, Nick Foquet Hat, Statement necklace 

Rocker t-shirt, Boots, Sandals, Print shorts, Body chain, 1,000 bracelets, Sunscreen....this is the start of my coachella packing list..... The list could go on and on.  Coachella is two three-day weekends in the desert that may almost be as much about what you wear as what music you listen to.  The air is thick with the sweet patchouli scent of hippie chic hipsters seeking an out of mind and out of body experience all while looking ridiculously cool and effortless.  Bloggers blog about it, Pinterest has an entire section on festival fashion inspiration, and tons of fashion websites feature top looks to mimic for this three-day music wonderland. I have borowed some inspiration from all of the above for this years packing extravagnza....enjoy, I know I'm going to :)

A date with the Boss!!

That's right, we got to go see "the Boss" this weekend. It was such a fun night! This was my first time seeing him live in concert.  While I was hoping he would sing "BORN IN THE USA" the rest of the songs made up for it and were delivered with passion, ultimate talent and true patriotism.  I was again filled with pride (to the tippy-top of my slightly buzzed heart) to have been born in the great US of A!! There were moments we remembered those who have gone before us. Moments we sang about "taking care of our own" and moments we (well me, as the one American of the group) showed that we (Americans) party to Rock and Roll like no one else can! 

America! Hell yeah! 

Steve-O rocking out......get some 

He OWNS that stage......
