Currently Coveting: Stylish Accessories

I love accessories - from shoes and scarves to jewelry and bags. I love that just changing accessories can change your entire outfit, or the feel of your outfit. They can make an outfit or break it, and take an old outfit and make it new again. On that note, here are some of the accessories I am currently swooning over...

These Pochettes from Clare Vivier are ah-mayzing. I love the bright neon colors on these little gems. They are natural undyed leather, with a silk screen stripe, and I would please, like to have one in each color.



Chevron stripes are one of my favorite design elements, and putting them on a shiny, pretty bracelet is perfectly genius, in my opinion. I would love to stack this bracelet from Jess LC with a bunch of other mismatched bangles.



For better or worse, I am one of those girls that would like to change my iPhone case regularly. Not to the point where I would match it to my shoes, but I like to keep it interested and change it up once in awhile. These covers from Dani Notes Stationary are a lovely mix preppy design (Muffy!?) and prints. Plus, I kind of love a nice monogram.



I love the Yves Saint Laurent "Arty Ovale" ring simply because it looks like something my grandmother would have had made for her back in the Seventies. I love the artsy, organic and strange shape of the gold.




I am a huge fan of sleep masks - mostly because I am NOT a morning person, and like to prevent the light streaming in my windows for as long as possible. If they have witty sayings like this one from Mary Green, all the better!



Finally, I am loving this new nail polish color, "Big Spender" from Essie. I like wearing dark colors on my (short) nails, but always want them to look a little brighter during the spring and summer. I feel like with this shade of purple, you get the dark and bright. Gorgeous!

Pretty in Pink


I've said it before, and I'll say it again, I don't care how uncool it might be - I am a grown lady and I love pink. All shades and tones of pink. It gets a bad rap, but it can be done tastefully and not make you look like a five-year old headed to a princess party. Recently, I fell in love with the pinks in two designer collections, and just had to share!

The first "pretty in pink" round-up comes from the British line, Asprey. They make more than fine jewelry - their accessories collection is to-die-for.

I am especially in love with the Hepburn vanity case. How chic is that? I have always wanted a fancy vanity case to carry with me when I travel. Especially if I was going to be traveling by train. Also at the top of my list - the pink legal pads and mini Oxford dictionary. Perfect for the girly writer such as myself. 

The second round-up comes from Ms. Kate Spade, the Queen of classic ladylike style. I've long admired her fun chic costume jewelry, but there is also a good amount of pink - in the color of the moment, honeysuckle - in her new collection for spring.

The necklace and bracelet are dreamy, as are the cute coin pouch and lovely little kitten-heels. Love, love, love it all! Now that I've proven pink is really quite fabulous (as if you needed more proof, with Honeysuckle being chosen as the color of spring) feel free to run out and get something in pink to brighten up your life.
