Remember that time I said I wouldn't be trying the faux leather legging trend?  I hope you're sitting down for this...because I was wrong.  It hurts my fingers to type that.  I don't even think I can read it out loud.  I walked into Target and tried on these leggings and I new I had made a terrible mistake by writing off faux leather leggings.  So hear I am in my leggings of shame.

Rediscovering Silver and a Blue Nile Giveaway!

Crystal Cluster Snow Necklace: Shop Lately (worn, exact) | Infinity Bracelet: c/o Blue Nile (exact) |
Arrow Bracelet: Bauble Bar (similar) | Chain Bracelet: Sira Mara (exact)

I have quite a bit of silver jewelry, but I never wear it.  I have piles of silver bracelets, but was never inspired to create a neat little silver arm stack.  Well, uninspired until I received this Infinity Bracelet from Blue Nile.  It was the missing puzzle piece in my silver stack!  And now you have a chance to start your own silver stack and win an Infinity Bracelet from Blue Nile!

UPDATE: This very morning as I put this bracelet on, I excitedly thought, "I bet Emily Thorne would totally wear this while plotting her latest revenge scheme.  Also, I feel like there are too many simultaneous revenge plots on the show and we have lost it's true message."  I know....deep thoughts to start a Wednesday.

But, even if you don't win, you can use the code "bnhh" to get 10% off anything from Blue Nile.  You can choose from their huge selection of certified diamond and gem stone jewelry.

I rented this dress from Rent the Runway for a wedding...and I almost didn't want to give it back.  I imagined me and my glittery beauty evading authorities and running off to Mexico together to live sparkly ever after.  I eventually came to my senses and sent my sparkly love back in her UPS carriage. Ok, enough about my envisioned clothing elopement.  Here are the deets on RTR in case you don't know.  For the price of your rental ranging between $50 and several hundred) you get your designer dress in 2 different sizes and for $25 you can get a second style as a back up.  I know, you're panicking (like I did on my first rental) about the dress not fitting.  If nothing fits you can send everything back and get a refund (in rental credit, though).  My recommendation is to size up and read the fit reviews carefully.  In my experience, the more expensive the dress...the smaller the sizes.  I have not had a problem with the backup size and the dresses have always arrived nicely pressed and on time. Oh...and....for $15 you can get what RTR calls a "Stylish Surprise."  The RTR styling experts pick out the perfect accessory for your outfit.  They picked out those gorgeous earrings to compliment the dress.    Have you ever tried Rent the Runway?   And if you use my referral link you get a $20 credit on your first rental!  (So do I...hehe). Full Disclosure: I did not receive anything in return for this post.  I am just a loyal customer of Rent the Runway.  However, I do receive credits towards my next rental if you sign up and make a rental through my referral link here.

Taking pictures on a New York City sidewalk has its risks...and I learned the hard way.  While snapping these pics of my beloved bike print dress, the Scot tossed the camera case on the sidewalk next to him.  When I went to retrieve it, it was wet...wet with the spit of another human being.  There was not enough anti-bacterial soap in the City to wash away my disgust.  
P.S.  I've finally gotten my Shop My Closet page up and running again, so go check it out!  I'll be adding new stuff all the time!!!

Sometimes you just have to forgo all the blingy statement necklaces and edit your arm party into a small arm get together and just focus on what's important: a simple cotton dress with pockets.  Yes, a cotton dress is an important part of my life.  And sometimes you have to forgo being witty and sarcastic and just introduce your readers to some simple, honest fashion blogging.

And that's exactly what you'll get from Tiffany at Style Honestly (and the chance to win a $25 Pay Pal gift card today)

The first time I visited Tiffany's blog I was struck by how honest and sweet this lady is.  Ok, I was actually OBSESSED with her awesome hair, but after I was done marveling at her tresses, I started to read her words.  She's sweet, she's funny and she loves a good floral skirt.  After you get to revel in another gorgeous photo of Tiff, you can scroll down and enter her giveaway for $25 in Pay Pal cash!

So, we started stacking our bracelets.  It's only logical we started stacking our necklaces.  It's a good old fashion neck party.  I feel like the "party" fashion fad is just a way for retailers to get me to buy more.  Touche retailers, touche.  I am totally into stacking any accessories you tell me to.  I do only have 2 holes in each ear though, so hopefully ear parties won't become a thing.

Sometimes a sunny day just makes you want to throw on your pink shoes and cat dress and go frolicking.  No?  You don't throw on your hot pink topsiders and cat print frock at the first sight of sunshine?  Well, then what do you do? 

I usually don't like to go too matchy matchy with my accessories, but I just felt like the pops of pink the jewelry and shoes were perfect for this dress.  Aside from the abstract cat heads, this dress is pretty neutral, so I always feel like I need to liven it up.  Maybe I am the first person ever that feels the need to make a cat print dress even quirkier.

I got this little floral number on one of my recent trips into Brooklyn.  I don't often venture over there, but when I do I ALWAYS go to Pema New York.  I am never hard pressed to find racks and racks of cute dresses at decent prices...or a sweet sales person to help me find something.  And they always have a sale rack right at the front of the store.  I picked up this dress for $35.  If you ever find yourself strolling along Bedford Ave. in Williamsburg, be sure to stop in.
