Accessories Access: Last Chance for Rose Gold Bangles for Under $9!

Posted on by

I love the availability & trend of rose gold fashion jewelry. The pink hue highlights so many brilliant wardrobe colors & adds an extra splash of femininity to any outfit. I wear rose gold everyday with my wedding band & engagement ring, no matter any of my other jewelry, but when I can go all out in rose gold, I do!

SHOP: Charter Club filigree bangle bracelet @Macy’s (on sale: $8.83).

SHOP: Charter Club pavé twist hinged bangle bracelet @Macy’s (on sale: $8.83).

SHOP NOW!: Spring/Summer Peplum Tops!

Posted on by

I love a peplum, especially when running errands & in need of a lightweight, comfortable piece that doesn’t feel too constricting, which is why my warm weather wardrobe consists of just such pieces to coordinate with cropped pants & drop earrings, tropical shorts & sparkly slides, or jeans & a duster cardigan. However, I’m not always a fan of the distressed, worn look, but I’m willing to give it a try, knowing that some of these colors will style well with my past-season bottoms.

SHOP: Time & Tru short-sleeved washed peplum top in papaya, turquoise, orchid bloom, & black soot @Walmart ($15.98, available in sizes XS-XXXL).

How would you style these tops? Which color are you most drawn to? How do you feel about peplum silhouettes? For more stylish posts, check out: a Time & Tru half sweater / half sweatshirt for $11, colorful bird stud earrings, must-have spring flats from Ardene! Happy Styling!

Accessories Access: These Earrings are for the Birds!

Posted on by

Throughout the year, I like to have fun with my stud earrings, mixing up a quintet of studs in colorful, tasteful, & stylish ways since most days, I fill my 5 piercings in each ear with great variety. I love adding a fruit into the mix, but from time to time, an animal also appears, including birds! I’ve had my eye on these for some time now:

SHOP: LC Lauren Conrad bird stud earrings @Kohl’s (on sale: $6.00).

I love the orange-blue-green-white color combination, especially against the gold-tone. It’s a bright, playful addition to any look & adds a spring touch against a tunic sweater & leggings or midi dress & duster cardigan.

I love how t-shirts have evolved over the years, blending the ease & comfort of a casual piece with more refined & special details that can be dressed up, such as a flutter-sleeve. While I’m not typically drawn to a dramatic sleeve, a subtle flutter adds an extra bit of whimsy, especially when paired with jeans & sneakers, trousers & ballet flats, a midi skirt & slides, or a pencil skirt & statement necklace.

SHOP: flutter-sleeve paneled t-shirt in black, beige, pink, & white @Old Navy ($29.99, available in sizes XS-4X + petite). Watch out for the current 30% off at checkout deal, or other sales that may help this topper, & the multiple colors, make its way into your wardrobe.

I’m a sucker for a chic, slim crossbody bag that will help keep me light when on the go, but also adds to my outfit. Recently, Target has been my go-to for such great accessory finds at an affordable price.

SHOP: A New Day alligator print double gusset crossbody in metallic silver @Target (on sale: $14.40).

This is a chic option for when my day includes not only a brunch or al fresco lunch plans, but heading out & about for a family occasion in a blouse & trousers, maxi dress & cardigan, or midi dress & drop earrings. Other varieties of this bag (minus the alligator embossed texture) include black, olive, green, & electric blue at varying price points.

Spring is in the air…somewhere! I can’t wait to get my feet into cute sandals again, paired with a maxi or midi dress or for stylish, but casual Friday at work on sunny spring mornings. We all know that flower embellishments & patterns are perfect for the season, which is why special floral details in our accessories is a fun way to play up any ensemble.

SHOP: t-strap floral detail sandal in white, tan, pink, & green @New York & Company (on sale: $20.00, available in sizes 6-11).

Similar to the Scoop metallic slides I recently posted about, as well as Old Navy’s faux suede slingback flats, aside from neutral tones, footwear in pink or green is on trend for the season, which will make any abstract, graphic, floral, or plaid print pop!

As always, I’m a sucker for one of each, especially when it’s a classic item that can coordinate with nearly any look. This is Aldi the case when I’m thinking about jewelry—do I get the gold, rose gold, or silver? However, for the right price, why not get all 3?

SHOP: Time & Tru crystal stone delicate pendant necklace in gold-tone, rose gold-tone, & silver-tone @Walmart ($3.88).

These charming, yet stylish pendants are perfect for any button-down, as well as a mandarin collar blouse. The peek of some sparkle is a chic finishing touch—& how could you go wrong with the price?!

All fall & winter long, my Instagram feed has been overflowing with different Sherpa items, from shackets to coats to cardigans to slippers. I know I’m a little late to jump on the bandwagon, especially as so much light & fluttery spring fashion is on the horizon, but in looking to update my casual outerwear / topper options, I was pleased to discover this new rollback—& with polka dots!

SHOP: Time & Tru faux Sherpa pullover in winter white, blue lagoon, olive dusk, & brilliant red @Walmart (on sale: $13.00, available in sizes XS-XXXL).

Personally, I can’t decide between the white or the olive, so both have been added to my cart! For $13.00, originally priced at $21.98, how could you go wrong with 2?

SHOP NOW!: A Velour Sweatshirt for Under $14!

With all of the great end-of-the-season sales, I’m reveling in the final days of luxe, winter textures & deep, rich colors. Velvet has had a resurgence in all forms, especially when it comes to pieces that can work for both loungewear & work.

SHOP: velour sweatshirt in black @LOFT (on sale: $13.95, available in sizes S-XXL).

Try pairing this with plaid pants, faux leather leggings, dark denim jeans, wide-leg satin pants, or joggers. Also, the neckline is perfect for layered necklaces or a bold statement piece. I wish this too was available in other colors, but I guess that’s what happens when it comes to final sale items.

I love a maxi dress, especially a printed one with so much styling versatility. I can’t wait for spring & summer to come to Long Island, so that I can float everywhere I go in a maxi dress! Naturally, I support a maxi dress that’s also inclusive!

SHOP: Knox Rose sleeveless A-line maxi dress in beige striped, pink floral, & tan floral @Target ($35.00, available in sizes XS-4X).

With this dress, one could break out a bolero cardigan, crochet cropped sweater, or a long sleeve duster for cooler nights. The faded hues & timeless prints get me thinking about the 90s with chunky wedge sandals or lace-up boots!

As the barrage of end-of-winter sales are coming to a close soon, it’s time to stock up on next season’s essentials. No matter how many time I examine & reorganize my bursting sweaters shelves, I can’t help but notice what colors & styles are missing. Suddenly, inspiration strikes & I click add-to-cart!

SHOP: essential dolman sweater in winter white, heather gray, syrah red, dark purple, golden seal, & blue destiny @New York & Company (on sale: $10.00, limited availability in sizes XS-XXL).

I have the burgundy sweater, which I’m excited to wear with plaid pants & a statement necklace for a work day. The weight of the sweater is just right & I’m thinking about adding the white & gold since they’re such a great price right now!

Accessories Access: A Classic, Silver Anti-Statement Necklace for Under $6!

For yesterday’s (mild) snow day, I wanted an easy, but chic work look that kept me warm & felt effortless. I knew my knee boots were in order, along with velvet leggings, but I volleyed between sweater & accessories options until I realized that I hadn’t broken out my new silver necklace!

SHOP: Time & Tru Eb brushed necklace in silver @Walmart ($5.88, available in 18 inches).

Once I happily settled on the necklace, I immediately thought of my purple dolman sweater since silver & purple are such a glorious pairing. I love how classic this necklace is, while also being lightweight, adjustable in length, & a no-fuss kind of necklace, which is why I call it my anti-statement necklace. It has just enough shine, but it’s not too much. Not to mention that the price is right! I’d love to also contrast the subtle texture on the necklace with a floral or stripe print, along with cobalt & powder pink tops.

The colors of this upcoming spring season are pink & green in any shade you can mix them into your look. Of course, pull-up capris or wide leg pants make for a chic outfit, but skirts never go out of style & shouldn’t be forgotten about.

SHOP: linen-cotton city skirt in radiant fuchsia, modern clover, & black @J. Crew Factory (on sale: $34.50, available in sizes 00-20).

Recently, I posed a poll question on my IG Stories of flats are out & loafers, mules, & sneakers are the new go-to footwear for many occasions. To my surprise, the majority of voters weren’t into flats anymore & the alternatives dominated responses. However, my never-ending search for cute & stylish flat continues with this recent find.

SHOP: faux suede slingback flats in black Jack, mocha taffy, pale glass, & flower tail @Old Navy ($30.00, get 30% off with code: HURRY, available in sizes 6-11).

I love a flowy top with feminine details, especially when it comes in multiple colors. I’m gearing up for spring & taking the time to reconsider my warm-weather casual wardrobe & this top just happens to come across my social media feed:

SHOP: Time & Tru peplum top in golden torch, mauve glow, black soot, & blue ash @Walmart ($13.98, available in sizes XS-XXXL).

I’ve purchased all 4 colors & tried them on; however, I’m not sold on them just yet, as they’re living in my “return” tote bag. They seem to look great on everyone on LTK, but I have some hesitations for my XL frame. Maybe I just need to style them up. We’ll see… All & all, Time & Tru is doing s fabulously fashionable job at encouraging this cool-girl spring—& summer—we’re all about to have!

Since my work week includes 2 night at my second job, I sometimes have the opportunity to change outfits from the typical gussied-up classroom look to something more laid back, but still fashionable. This usually entails—at least at this time of the year—a cozy pullover sweater & a big earring or necklace that might otherwise be too “extra” for the day. I’ve had my eye on several “big” earrings lately & can’t wait to hop on board this next bright beadwork accessories trend:

SHOP: SUGARFIX by BaubleBar beaded tassel earrings in pink & red @Target ($12.99).

My only wish is that these had thicker straps so that I wouldn’t have to rely on a strapless bra, even if you’re meant to go bra-less with it. Curvier girls need support!
