Shopping Temptations: Max & Chloe

I know I mentioned in yesterday's post {here} that I have spent an exorbitant amount of money on handbags in the past, but I love jewelry equally as much.  My FAVORITE site to shop for jewelry brands that I love, and discover new brands, is Max & Chloe {check out here}.  They offer weekly deals and have an amazing rewards program; currently, they are offering FREE ground shipping on all orders with discount code {FREE20SH13}.  I have been telling my friends that I am not 100% sure what I will buy first when I can shop again, but I have no doubt that I will be making a Max & Chloe purchase VERY soon!

Natural + Neon

For all of us Midwesterners, let's HOPE we can start wearing sandals and light jackets SOON! Below is an outfit that I would love to wear in the spring; I love an ensemble with mostly natural color pieces with a pop of color {preferably turquoise, one of my current favorite shades for the season!}  Hopefully by the time I start shopping again {May 13th} the weather will actually permit outfits like this:

Blumera ring {buy here}
Ellen Himic earrings {buy here}
Elizabeth and James blazer {buy here}
Tibi dress {buy here}
LC Lauren Conrad sandals {buy here}
Onna Ehrlich bag {buy here}

Happy Friday!

Almost Spring

Spring is SO CLOSE! It's that time of year when the weather is teasing us {some days cold..some days sunny..some days nonstop rain...}, and it's also the time of year when I am dying to wear floral spring dresses, but the temperature outside doesn't quite permit it.  Below is a collage of my idea of the perfect outfit for the transition into spring: a chic trench {with GORGEOUS leather sleeves}, black leather accessories, and pops of pale pink.  If only I could SHOP for these items! :) 

1. Rag & Bone trench {buy here}
2. Jessica Jensen envelope clutch {buy here}
3. Sephora by OPI's "A True Romantic" {buy here}
4. NARS lipstick in "Catfight" {buy here}
5. Elizabeth and James shoes {buy here}
6. Blumera lemon quartz ring {buy here}
7. Ellen Himic trelis earrings {buy here}

Have a wonderful weekend!

1 Year Reward

As of today, I have not shopped for 9 months! I cannot believe how fast the time has passed, but it honestly gets more difficult not to shop - maybe because I know the end is near and I am DYING to add some new pieces to my closet! It really has been a rewarding journey so far, and I love hearing my friends tell me how they are trying to go through a period without spending money on fashion-related shopping! Of course I often think about what I will buy once my year of no shopping is over, so here are some items that have recently caught my eye:

Kooba Soho Charlton bag {here}

Madewell parka {here}

Ellen Himic ring {here}

McQ Alexander McQueen studded neon pumps {here}

Alexis Bittar hinged bracelet {here}

Tory Burch hat - it's on sale! {here}

Loeffler Randall Quinnie flats {here}

Burberry scarf {here}

Kevia hoop earrings {here}

Rebecca Minkoff Affair bag {here}

Avanessi rose gold Love ring {here}

Foley + Corinna Simpatico backpack {here}

David Yurman Renaissance ring {here}

Rebecca Minkoff Diva heel {here}

Dannijo bracelet {here}

Elizabeth and James Paige sandals {here}

Ippolita stud earrings {here}

Which piece would you choose after a year of no shopping?

Designer Spotlight + Deal: Ellen Himic Designs

I've mentioned in previous posts that I tend to gravitate towards independent and emerging designers when I'm shopping for accessories; David Yurman is lovely, but there is something to be said for owning a unique piece of jewelry by an up-and-coming designer.  One of my FAVORITE designers is Ellen Himic Designs, a jewelry brand that embodies luxury, craft, and ornate details {check out here}.  Ellen Himic's collections are influenced by architecture and the beautiful, intricate details found in architecture.  Ellen Himic's stunning pieces have graced the pages of magazines such as InStyle, Good Housekeeping, Vogue Japan, and People Style Watch, and have been seen on television shows including Gossip Girl, Nurse Jackie, and Entourage.  I love all of my Ellen Himic pieces and I'm sure you can understand why:

Trelis ring {here}, Rosette ring {here}, Rose Cathedral ring {here}, Finial Briolette earrings {here}, Rondelle bracelet {here}

Rondelle bracelet {here}, Trelis ring {here}

Finial Briolette earrings {here}

Rosette ring {here}

Rose Cathedral ring {here}

Those are the Ellen Himic pieces I have collected over the years, and I honestly love each of them; I am pretty much ALWAYS wearing at least one of my Ellen Himic pieces.  I know it seems like I own a lot of her jewelry, but how could I not want more?  Here are some of Ellen Himic pieces that I am currently coveting and considering purchasing after my year of no shopping is complete:

                                      

two-toned Garland necklace {here}, Swirl of Rose ring {here}, Paja Dome earrings {here}, Trelis earrings {here}, Crown necklace {here}, Maltese bracelet {here}, Rondelle necklace {here}, Garland Pear ring {here}, Paja Pearl bracelet {here}, Rosette earrings {here}

So, the wonderful Ellen Himic has graciously offered a deal for my readers! Just for today, Ellen is offering a deal on the beautiful Trelis earrings on her site for just $125! These fashionable earrings have been spotted on Skinny Girl mogul and Real Housewife of New York Bethenny Frankel, and are the PERFECT earrings for everyday wear.  Check out the Trelis earrings {here}!

I hope you have fallen in love with Ellen Himic Designs the way I have, and be sure to 'like' Ellen Himic on Facebook {here} and follow her on Twitter {here}.  Also, I hope you take advantage of the offer on the Trelis earrings - if I was allowed to shop I would be the first one to order them! :)
