Lace and Texture




Create a soft, feminine look by wearing a lace skirt or slip under an over-sized sweater.  Think you'll be too cold?  Try wearing over-the-knee socks/stockings with knee high boots.

It's all about the little black dress from JCrew!  To spice up the timeless look, pair it with nude pumps.   Need accessories?  Wear a rose gold watch or a cocktail ring, make sure you keep it SIMPLE!  Happy shopping!

WARNING:  JCrew's sizes are not true to size.  The dress I had on was the Petite 0,  when I first put it on, it was overwhelmingly large!  I thought maybe JCrew forgot to add a "1" in front of the 0.   

All the dresses are like this, so be prepared for an additional cost of getting it tailored.  Which getting it tailored was the best decision thus far. The dress looked like it was made for me, so don't get discouraged if it hangs loose on you initially. 

Where to find this dress:  
  • www.jcrew.com  and it's on sale!!! Retail $250   Now $99!!!!!  
Where to find nude pumps:
  • ShopStyle.com.  I love this website because you have choices!  Choose your price point, colors, heel size, brands,.....the list goes on!

Michael Kors Rose Golden Watch (MK 5430)




LOVE LOVE LOVE this Michael Kors "Rose Golden" watch! It has that unique color that will have everyone turning their heads.
  • This watch looks great on any skin tone, I have fair skin and every time I wear the watch I get constant compliments.
  • The retail for this watch is $250, and you can find it at Bloomingdales, Nordstroms, etc.
  • If you want a deal, you can go to an authorized dealer and they tend to offer lower than retail prices...YAY! A great authorized dealer is called Dioro. You can visit there website at www.DioroJewelers.com
The model number to this watch is MK 5430

Features on this watch include:
  1. A chronograph (3 sub dials)
  2. Date
  3. Quartz movement (battery operated)
  4. A 33 mm size (perfect for petite wrists, that want to achieve that over-sized look)
  5. Mineral crystal (nice way of saying plastic)
I've owned this MK watch for over 5 months and has no signs of wear - one of the best purchase decisions I made so far!
