Fall Footwear & Accessory Updates

Fall Accessory and Footwear Updates

With each new season, it is fun to incorporate chic little updates into your footwear and accessory collections. It keeps you looking current and will instantly update classic pieces you already have in your wardrobe. I thought this edit would give you some ideas on what new trends to wear this fall. .

The yellow crossbody bag is an easy piece that will make any outfit interesting. You will be surprised how versatile the yellow color is…you can wear it with more colors than you may think. The loafer trend continues into fall and this pretty pair is decorated with stylish studs. A leopard printed scarf will instantly add some glamour to any ensemble.

Statement earrings are a must and this gorgeous pair looks beautiful when paired with a cozy sweater and denim or a cocktail dress. This fun lucite cuff is sure to be a conversation piece and I like the smoke and rose mirror lens on these tortoise sunglasses.

If you need a chic black flat, try these suede ones…I like the pointy toe and subtle studs. This fabulous necklace adds serious drama at an affordable price point. The print on these d’Orsay flats is polished and versatile…I love the small touches of color. Don’t hesitate to wear this antique white hobo through the fall season…white is totally appropriate after Labor Day.

Have fun shopping these fall footwear and accessory selections!

Bisous,

Rebecca

Marble & Copper Home Accessories

s

sSometimes my fashion obsessions carry over into my home decor selections…so being that white, blush and rose gold is quite possibly my favorite color combination, it is not surprising that I gravitate toward it in home decor. I was hosting friends for an afternoon chat and created this chic little edit of marble and copper accessories. These pieces are far more versatile than I realized…and somehow make the food and wine look extra pretty.

sS

MARBLE BUTTER BELL

This is a unique dish you often see in France so I was excited to find this pretty marble version…it is called a le beurrier. It is a dish used for keeping butter at room temperature so you can easily spread over delicious baguettes. You fill the crock with water and it keeps the butter soft and spreadable. You can keep it at room temperature for 3-5 days without refrigeration…just be sure to change the water so it stays fresh. Available at www.williamssonoma.com.

s

sWINE COASTER

This stylish wine coaster is perfect for displaying a bottle of rosé for an afternoon of wine with friends. It complements the cheese board and knives beautifully. Available at www.williamssonoma.com.

s

CHEESE KNIVES

This knife set coordinates perfectly with these pieces. The pronged knife breaks up hard cheeses, the tear shaped knife is for spreading soft cheeses and spreads and the plane is for shaving medium and hard cheeses. Available at www.williamssonoma.com.

s

CHEESE BOARD

The pièce de résistance of this edit is the gorgeous cheese board. This lovely piece is incredibly substantial and has a nice weight. It is perfect for serving delectable apps or a cheese and charcuterie platter. Available at www.westelm.com

sThe holidays are around the corner…these pieces would make a fabulous gift for family, friends…or yourself. 😉

Necklace Layering Ideas

Necklace Layering Ideas

Feeling the urge to update your everyday jewelry look? I receive a number of inquiries about the necklaces that I am wearing in almost all of my photos. I wear some combination of these necklaces almost every day and feel they add a feminine touch to my daily style.

To start, I wear the Tiny Pavé V and Solid Pavé Disc Necklaces from Adina Reyter. While delicate in appearance, they are high quality enough for daily wear since they are made from 14 karat gold with tiny diamonds. Then, I add a third for some novelty…and I mix it up based on whatever I am wearing. A heart, horn, gemstone…whatever I am feeling. Do not hesitate to mix metals…gold, silver and rose gold all complement each other. Be sure to make them different lengths so you can see all of them. You can do this easily by adding a necklace extender.

You can also add a longer style pendant necklace to the ensemble..sometimes I add a pendant when I am wearing my two “basics’ but sometimes I add it on top of three necklaces…I like how mixing the metals, shapes and lengths creates a unique look.

The great part about recreating this look is that there are plenty of options at all price points…I have inexpensive styles that are just as pretty. Shopbop has a nice selection of these necklaces…other designers that have delicate collections include Jennifer Zeuner, EF Collection, Jennifer Meyer and there are countless options on Etsy. These necklaces also make a lovely gift…with Mother’s Day approaching, this may be the perfect gift for mom. Adina Reyter has a sale that may make this the perfect time to invest in a gift…or yourself (wink, wink).

Classic Black and White

Classic Black and White

They’re called classics for a reason…timeless, polished and always relevant. Black and white is a chic and easy color combination to wear because you usually have a plethora of shoes and accessories to complement. And if you don’t know what to wear, it is always a safe option. Some of my favorite classic black and white dresses from this Spring are featured below!

Need to run around in comfort and style on the weekend? This Soft Joie casual dress is easy to throw on with sneakers (like those featured in post Chic Sneakers ) for running errands or hanging at the park. Made from a soft and cozy jersey fabric, it almost feels like you are wearing pajamas. Available at www.saks.com.

This Diane Von Furstenberg Brenndah silk dress is as classic as it gets…a wrap dress silhouette in a black and white print. However, the side tie and asymmetric hem gives it a modern and feminine vibe. Available at www.revolve.com.

This fashion staple will never go out of style..the Annalisa LBD is a fitted ponte dress with trumpet hem. The style dresses up beautifully in the soft luxurious ponte fabric. Instead of wearing a pop of color with this dress, I opted to wear this beautiful black and white bracelet from Lele Sadoughi. Bracelet available at www.neimanmarcus.com. Dress available at www.shopbop.com.

Hope you find some new inspiration for this classic color combination this Spring!

All That Glitters

All That Glitters

Long ago, I used to tell people to have a sparkling day. It seemed more fun than a “great”, “good” or “nice” day. I am not sure why or when I stopped wishing people a sparkling day but somewhere along the way, I stopped signing emails that way and sign off in a standard way. However, this spring, that is precisely what you will be doing from day to night…sparkling. Glitter is a major trend this season and not just in the traditional evening items…I have seen it in the fabric of leggings, dresses, sandals, water bottles, jewelry…it is EVERYWHERE. Think of glitter pieces like you would a print of pattern, use them sparingly…a touch here and there and never more than one piece in an ensemble.

I opted to style this glitter story in gold pieces for day wear but there are an abundance of sparkly items for evening….black, gunmetal and other fun colors but I feel the gold is the freshest version for this season.

Glitter is also a key beauty trend this spring, in eyeshadows, lip gloss, nail polish and body dust. Again, use sparingly, but there are pretty products that will make you shimmer and glow.

Follow me on Instagram @styleandlifeofficial to enter our All That Glitters Instagram Contest.

Have a sparkling day!

Bisous,

Rebecca

Lovely Desk Accessories

For most, we spend at least forty hours per week at work…for others, it may be more. Why settle for standard supplies when there are lovely desk accessories that will make your workspace as chic as your wardrobe? There is something special about opening my agenda, using a high quality pen and reviewing my calendar. It allows me to approach the day with a sense of calm and the ability to organize my thoughts and schedule. I also enjoy distributing a packet of documents with an gold or printed binder clip. I work in fashion, so these details are appreciated. Some careers need to be more serious, but, your desk is your space and you can customize as it suits you.

Unique paper clips, binder clips and other supplies are abundant on Amazon. Kate Spade offers a gorgeous collection of desk accessories, stationery…even file folders! Sugar Paper LA and Rifle Paper Company have a unique assortment of stationery and desk accessories.

Dress up that desk, since you will be spending a lot of time at work, you may as well make it as pretty as possible!

Bisous,
Rebecca
