I’ve never been big into jewelry. I used to only wear my wedding ring and some diamond stud earrings and call it good. Shoes were more my thing and often had enough sparkle for the rest of my outfit. But I started to notice how a bangle of bracelets and baubles really added interest …
There’s something about blue suede shoes that inspire songs. I am loving this particular pair from Marc Fisher. They have a flared block heel which is super on trend and they’re in my favorite navy blue. Being petite, I love the low ankle because it gives a leg lengthening affect.

I’ve never been interested in rules of fashion. In fact, I was embracing trends long before I knew there was such a thing.

The trick is to add interest by playing with texture. Here I’ve played with knits and leather and added layered wrist-wear for a little extra something. After all, every girl needs a little bling ;).
Hint: Any writing on your jewelry should be worn so those looking at it can read it right-side up.

This trench combines the versatility of the trench with the elegance of a dress. The contrasting coated jean sleeves give it an edge so it’s the perfect balance of femininity, classic, and fashion forward style.
