Cocktail Rings

By -
After a rough day at work, I went out for cocktail with friends. There was a woman sitting at the bar in a little black dress, scarf and hand spanning cocktail ring. Just two simple details to make her look pop.

I've been neglecting rings. The get put away when the cold weather gloves come out, and sometimes they collect dust all spring and summer. But today I think I'll base my outfit around one of the rings waiting in my jewelry box.Top: copper and turquoise ring, Ollipop at Nordstrom $58

I was trying to decide which of these rings I loved the most, turns out, all of them. Maybe the first and the last, as they are a little more girly. I love big rings and have a bunch! These are beautiful!

Retro Shoes

I love vintage shoes, but between the heavy wear and narrow fit, I have to indulge my wants with fabulous reproductions. Mary Janes, t-straps, peep toes, low heels. If it looks like it's from the 20s-50s, I'm there! I like to wear them with Victorian jewelry and funky outfit. How do you wear retro heels?

Metallic Shoes

Over a couple of fabulous martinis, becca and I were discussing how many people comment on our metallic shoes. (She has some gold heeled Frye booties and I have low heeled oxfords.) It's like they've never thought of gold or silver as belonging anywhere but on jewelry or a New Year's Eve dress. Not only do they snazz up an everyday jeans and tunic, but they can be used as party shoes too. (Yes, I would wear my oxfords to a party. I'm funky like that.) As you can see from my laments of craving below, metallics are my perfect shoe color.Top: silver cutout wedge, Jeffrey Campbell at Urban Outfitters $128 (Want!)
disc flat, Enzo Angiolini "Zella" on Endless $88.95
gold pump, Shellys of London at Mod Cloth $94.99
Bottom: pewter unicorn heels, Jeffrey Campbell "Michelle" at Nordstrom $119.95 (Still want!)

Sweet Sleep Bra

I've been waiting Anthropologie's ruffled bra and panty set to go on sale. What it lacks in the sex appeal of Anya's retro ensemble, it makes up for in cute ribbons and ruffles. The set is available in cream and pink, rose and black, or grey and black, but I prefer the dark of the latter to offset the sweetness of the look. The bra was $58, which is silly for a cotton, wireless sleep bra, but the price has dropped to $29.95. That's at least worth thinking about. $30 for panties, however, is still laughable.
