Jewelry Finds: Vienna Victoria

I think this impending fall is doing something to me. I am taking interest in trends that I swore up and down I would probably never wear--but now leopard and me are buds!--and I’ve been turning to my necklace board every morning when I get ready. You remember me and jewelry, right? We talk and acknowledge but never really hang out. 

Well I am discovering all of these interesting pieces and adding more and more to my Christmas list. As we speak I have a tab open in Chrome deciding which piece I want from the Vienna Victoria store. Creator Satin Van Cleef has a line of bracelets and rings that are actually have lipgloss in them in the “Vanity Vault!” Now that’s what I call stylish and functional! That’s one less thing to keep in your bag; plus they’re refillable. 

 

The bracelets come in yellow, white, rose and black gold over bronze--I am all over the rose gold!--and made with Swarovski Elements.

Check out the website here. I think that they would definitely make a cute gift for the holidays. I might drop some hints to my family about that!

What do you think of this functional collection by Vienna Victoria?  

The First Day

The day finally came! My first day of college classes. 

The one thing that ran through my mind early this morning? What in the world am I going to wear?! I am notorious for not planning my outfits the night prior. It just never happens. So this morning I went through two different outfits back and forth and finally made my decision. Here it is; the result of a solid 45 minutes of indecisive-ness :)

I always love this cami/cardi combo. The cardigan is also super light, making it really wearable even in late August.

Pretty sure I am on the verge of wearing these shoes out! 

Of course I have to have a massive ring to pull the outfit together...it's like my thing.

And a lovely top knot. 

With how hot it has been in Pittsburgh lately, shorts and dresses seem like they might be my friends for awhile. I cannot wait, however, to throw on jeans, sweaters and boots. I am a sucker for autumn.

What was your first day of school outfit?

And In This Ring....

Hi guys! Happy Monday!

On such a beautiful day, I am glad to have a day off. Though I was slightly depressed when I get home from shopping for my dorm and saw how much I have left in my account. Maybe I should be working more...

But that is not the topic of today's blog. Today I want to share with you an obsession. An obsession that could end up escalating at the same rate the shoe epidemic hit me. I am talking about...my ring obsession. All rings, I must point out, have been obtained during just two trips to the beach. Darn those "3 for $10" deals! They always get me. These rings caught my eye because they are interesting. I think you would agree.

Are these not the greatest?! In no way will I ever regret buying these; believe me, I have regretted many purchases. I wear them all the time, and they always attract a compliment or two. The only thing is, I only wear them with outfits that do not already have any prints or embellishments. I really do not like to go over the top with accessories or shiny things. These grab enough attention for an outfit!
