Stella McCartney ...

Ready for summer?? I am. Today, these sunglasses arrived in the mail today from ShopBop. 

Aren't they pretty? They're Stella McCartney gold/blonde tortoise stylish aviators! I just love this style....remember when I blogged about colored shades here? Well, this was my final decision. 

Do you have aviators??

Sunglasses Trend

Hey everyone! How's it going? The week has started off pretty darn busy here for me. I have Cocoa & Hearts paintings that I need to launch this month as well as a few commissions I've been working on...& of course there's MadeByGirl.

However, this weekend while walking around the NYC streets I noticed an interesting trend emerging: 

COLORED sunglasses. That's right.  

So, along with all the colorful outfits you're seeing while shopping, now you can have glasses to match if you choose to!  I love wearing shades. But, I'm really in need of some new ones, mine are slowly falling apart! Not so sure if I would dare jump on this trend, but then again...I have a tendency to jump on trends after the fact. But, if I had to choose a color & style, I'd go for number 1, Marc Jacobs aviators in hot pink.

Would you wear colored sunglasses? Which of these would you love to take home with you?

3 Outfits for Spring...

YUP, Spring is here. The flowers are blooming & the weather is getting warmer. This means no stuffy coats or scarves. Instead, we'll run around in pretty colorful shoes (hopefully) and airy tops! So with that said, here are 3 outfits I'm eye-ing right now. 
 

I'm especially LOVING everything in outfit #2.  

It's my favorite, especially those wedges!! You can find all these items at ShopBop. 

Which of these outfits would you wear this Spring??

1. enza costa /  WGACA Vintage /  rag & bone / LAMB by Gwen Stefani

2.  clare vivier / rag & bone / current elliot / derek lam /

3.  bop basics / theodora callum / adriano goldschmied / maison martin margiela 

ShopBop for Spring...

ShopBop has a TON of cool stuff if you're into fashion. 

I L-O-V-E fashion. 

Like most women, accessories, shoes & handbags are my favorites! It looks like COLOR is still ruling the fashion world & I love it. Can you tell?


What do you think of all this COLOR? Or are you still in your little black dress phase??

New Year's Eve 'no-so-bling' Jewelry...

We all know NYE is around the corner...that means fancy dresses, suit & ties and bling, bling jewelry. However, if you're not into the whole New Year's Eve BLING - then perhaps you'll appreciate this post. I pulled together 7 pieces of jewelry that will STILL be stand- out pieces at any party! 

My favorite is #1 - which is from the new Kelly Wearstler collection. I wore mine for the first time this past weekend & got quite a few compliments. 


At first, my guy didn't know what make of it...in fact his exact words were, "I can make that with a piece of wire & a dowel."  I couldn't stop laughing & told him, "yea, but it won't be Kelly Wearstler." Ha!

Below is my Kelly Wearstler ring  (#1) - I love how it looks & feels. It's one of my favorite rings in my collection.

The Perfect Thanksgiving Outfit....

Hello everyone! Ahhhh I've been terribly busy today - shooting some of the new accessories we're adding to Made By Girl - exciting but exhausting! On another note, so happy that Thanksgiving is quickly approaching on Thursday! I've thought about all the things I'm thankful for & boy do I have a looooong list. 

In a PERFECT world, this is what I'd be wearing at our Thanksgiving table while telling everyone what I'm thankful for. So, yes, this would be the PERFECT Thanksgiving outfit - STYLISH, trendy & with a splash of color! Also, great for the chilly weather we've been having at night, 40 degreeeeees!! 

Have you thought about what you're grateful for?? What will you be wearing this Thanksgiving?!?
