Blue & White Ginger Jars
For as long as I can remember I’ve loved blue & white decor – namely ginger jars. Chinoiserie is really popular and if you don’t know what that is it’s decor pieces that imitate or evoke a Chinese motif vibe in western art, furniture, etc. Nice pieces are pretty expensive, so for now I can just admire them from afar. But, one day when I can afford expensive home decor and investment pieces I’d love to have a collection of blue & white ginger jars like the ones in the photo below! I took this photo when I was at the Williams-Sonoma flagship store in San Francisco over the summer.…

Sparkly Evil Eye Pendant
I’m sure you’ve seen evil eye jewelry all over the place in recent years, but the superstition/belief of the evil eye has been around for thousands of years and spans across multiple religions and countries. In short, the evil eye is thought to be an evil look that can inflict harm, suffering, bad luck, etc. and wearing evil eye jewelry or talismans is thought to reflect the evil forces away from you. Over the years, the symbol has become really popular in mainstream jewelry and I have collected a few pieces of the years – a ring, bracelet, and now a really pretty sparkly pendant!

Restyled: Floral Appliqué Top + Fringe Denim
Last month I met up with Lauren for some early fall photos. It was actually really hot that day and the state park we met up at was having a charity walk so we had to get creative about where to take photos where there weren’t a bunch of people and I had to really make sure no one saw me changing in my backseat! For one of the 3 outfits we shot, I wanted to restyle this taupe hi-lo tank top with floral appliqués with high-waisted cropped fringed denim and heels. Last time I wore this top on the blog I wore it with a cardigan and white pants. Top:…

Floral Ruffle Drawstring Dress
If you’ve been following me for at least a year then you know the things I share the most during the school/work year are dresses and sweaters. I love me some sweaters! But it’s not sweater weather just yet so I’m sharing this floral drawstring dress today. If you’ve been following me for any length of time then you also know I love floral prints.

I wore it with a maroon cardigan to work, a velvet studded wrap bracelet, and black flats. Dress: LOFT…

Fanciful Press-On Nails
Last year Kiss sent me some products including some really pretty press-on nails. Since it was around the holidays I tried out the darker, more glitzy set and I left the lighter sparkly tip set for another time. I kept putting off trying out the set until this weekend. This light pink set with silver sparkly tips is called “Fanciful” and like last time I trimmed them back significantly because they were so long! Putting them on was easy again. It’s always trial and error to see which nails will fit which fingernail best. What was difficult this time around was getting the adhesive stickies to stick properly to my…
