let's hear it for the [girls]

forever 21 sweater, 21 bag, brandy melville bracelets, francescas necklace, j.crew watch

As I got ready for my girl's night out, I decided to go for an easy outfit that gave my jewelry a pop.  I incorporated my sassy skeleton bracelets and a fun necklace to contrast the colors.  It's important to be able to balance different color elements into your outfit in order to make this funky look. You can always count on a simple sweater + jewelry combo to feel confident!

 Bianca Balti fronts the new Dolce and Gabanna 2011 jewelry line in a lingerie inspired shoot.  Everything from the cat eyes to the gorgeous jewelry makes the buyer want to have one of everything.  I love that most of the line is gold, and especially love it with the dark stones incorporated. This sophisticated line is one for the books!

I vow to wear all things glitter.

Jeans- Anthropologie

I'm absolutely obsessed with glitter, sparkles, and anything that shines.  Today, I wore this sparkling beauty with jeans and a necklace (pictured directly above). When I got home to photograph it- I decided to pair it with my handy dandy leather skirt instead.  If you haven't noticed yet, I have a slight obsession with flats.  Slight may be a bit undramatic- they are my second skin. I find beauty in such a classic look- the flamboyant tee, dark washed jeans, and ballet flats.  When I purchased this skirt, it was the same for me: instant classic.  With this skirt's detailed back and overall chic look, you know you can pair it with even a basic tee and walk out the door with ease. 

P.S. aren't these walls dreamy? welcome to the life of a college girl (living in a building with 999 others)! thanks to mah girl shannon for the photos!
