new bracelet combo...

March 5, 2012accessories, me, shoppingNavigate with StyleComment

I've been searching for a few years to find something from Brighton Collectibles that I could wear because my son shares the name and I thought it'd be cute to own a piece. Last year I fell in love with an alligator cuff from the store that I always wear with my treasured orange Hermes Kelly Double Tour bracelet.

Last week I went back to see if they had any other ferocious animals I could wear on my arm and found this slithering snake. It's my new favorite combo.

I also spied a cougar that would be a great sub should my alligator need a rest. I'll be adding that to my collection soon enough...

spring colors...

February 3, 2012me, shoes, spring/summer, styleNavigate with StyleComment

For years I have been toiling about my favorite color...pink or orange? Orange or pink? When deciding on my new NWS logo I felt I needed to embrace both so instead of continuing the debate in my head pink & orange (or orange & pink) are now co-favorites. Ah, these first world problems of mine...

As I become weary of my drab fall & winter clothes I yearn for spring when I can embrace the rainbow of colors seen on the runway. It seems any and all colors will have their moment in the sun this season, especially neon and pastel shades...often paired together.

I'm most excited about the Pantone color of the season, Tangerine Tango, which is already starting to pop up in stores. I've even spotted some pieces that combine my co-favorites such as this loverly pair of flats from J. Crew...which I snapped up instantly.

Aren't they cute? It's like wearing my blog on my feet!

{ The Five }

{ hand me downs }

My grandfather's favorite color was orange...I must have inherited that love from him. He gave my mother this set ages ago but I hadn't ever seen it. When she pulled these pieces out a few weeks ago and saw my reaction she promptly handed them over. Yesssss...

{ Paris! }

Ooh la la...I'm so thrilled to be traveling to Paris this spring. It's basically all I can think about and I've already started brainstorming my packing strategy. My main goal is visiting Versailles...a lifelong dream for this Marie Antoinette fan.

{ Trina cosmetic bags }

I found these all over Nashville and fell in love. These stylish yet inexpensive bags are easily cleaned and this particular style holds so much yet stays slim in my handbag.

{ SRSLY }

I love nothing more than laughing and this video series is so perfectly hilarious I can't get enough!!! I'm DESP for their second season to start.
