Coil Rosette Dress.

When it comes to filling my closet I’m all over the place. I don’t really have a “go to” store or boutique. My wardrobe is best described as classic with a few trendy pieces thrown in for good measure. Those trendy pieces tend to be lower on the price scale than everything else because I know I’m most likely going to wear them for about a season and then that’ll be it. So long and see ya.

I was thrilled this past weekend when I trekked to the local mall for the first time in about three months and found a newly opened Forever 21. Overrated? Yes. But they always seems to have a few cute things that I just have to have and I drool over their cheapie accessories. My favorite purchase? This coil rosette dress. I wore it out to a swanky restaurant Saturday night and loved every minute of it.

I Feel Like a Number Necklace.

This great little I Feel Like a Number necklace was made after artist Melanie Favreau had a horrible experience at a government office. (Haven’t we all been there/done that?!) Available in a limited edition of 100, you won’t even know what number you’re receiving until it shows up at your door.

Banana Republic Handbags.

I feel like I’ve been hiding under a rock. A month or so ago I walked into my local Banana Republic and was confronted not only by their usual selection of cute clothing, but also by displays stacked with absolutely stunning handbags. When did they start carrying handbags, clutches and wallets?! I feel like someone should have told me because they’re that great. And they must think they’re “that great,” too, because it’s reflected in the price. But they’re so, so pretty!

Monogram Disc Necklace.

An understatedly simple personalized piece is something no girl’s jewelry collection should be without. This piece would be the perfect addition to mine! The disc is 1/2″ in diameter and available in five different font choices: Roman, Circle Monogram, 5 Line Fancy, Helvetica and Wedding. Now yellow gold isn’t really my thing, but it’s also available in white gold from what I can gather.

Contagious Jewelry.

I stumbled across Etsy shop Contagious Jewelry last week and am absolutely smitten with her organic feeling pieces.

She says it best. “An advocate for the small and forgotten, the displaced and discarded, I find the act of adorning oneself with these objects to be empowering. Each component of the natural world is beautiful, from molecules passing through the walls of cells to toxic mold, from single-celled organisms to deadly viruses. By embellishing ourselves with the forms we take for granted or are too afraid to think about, we celebrate ourselves and our place in the world around us.”
