Pick Up This Stylish Outfit For Under $355.00

I put together this super cute outfit for under $355.00 and wanted to share it with you!  Each piece is well priced and can be found at some of my favorite places to shop on the web.  Let's start with the floral print top which can be found at TopShop.  It's called the Secret Garden Tiered Shell and is just $60.00.  

 

These incredible Ciao Bella Toni Leather Riding Boots are on sale at DSW for just $99.95, marked down from $179.00.  You cannot go wrong with a pair of classic riding boots and this deep camel color adds a rich touch.  

 

Urban Outfitters has a wonderful selection of cardigans that won't break the bank.  I chose the Silence and Noise Cozy Open Cardigan for this outfit because of the over-sized, relaxed style. 

 

The jeans are one of my personal favorites and are sure to become one of yours as well.  They are made by Flying Monkey and are called the Christie Skinny Jean ($44.00).  These jeans stretch in all the right places and are extremely flattering to just about any figure, curves and all!  

 

The accessories are available from Sacred Accessories.  The cuff is handmade by G.S. Lillian and is available in 5 different color schemes.  These cuffs are gorgeous and have been featured in numerous magazines.  I also selected the Long Gold Chain Necklace With Charms by iLuck to add the perfect finishing touches to this charming outfit.  

 

 I would love to get your feedback about this ensemble so please leave your comments below.

Needless to say, we're loving the necklace trends we’ve been seeing around so we're inviting you to dress up your neck here at Sacred Accessories. Why not start with this fab piece from Elizabeth Gillet? There's more you can add to your fall wardrobe so visit our online store now!

Bright and Bold

It's one of those days when I take a quick tour of Nordstrom and spot something I really like. I say "quick" because if I stay any longer, I might be tempted to order stuff. And I can't. Or shouldn't. =) Anyway, I saw this photo for Shu Uemura and I love it!

I love how these bright, bold necklaces are layered together -- with the matching eye make up. I don't think I can pull this off, but, well, it's just gorgeous. It reminded of this colorful Indian monsoon bangles at Sacred Accessories:

 

Nordstrom's hot fall accessory trends are all about bright scarves, two tone jewelry, jewel tone bags and gold and silver long chain necklaces. There's more, but color seems to be the most dominant feature of fall, and we just can't get enough of bright, bold and fabulous accessories! All I can say is, if you've gbeen stuck with monochromatic colors lately, it's about time to experiment a little and update your look. Go bright and bold!

Oval Faces -- Perfect for Earrings!

Love earrings? Well if you happen to be one of those ladies who have an oval-shaped face, well lucky you! Your face shape suits any style of earrings. Celebrities like Kate Hudson, Charlize Theron, Beyonce Knowles and Jessica Alba have oval faces and look good wearing just about any style! Soft shapes such as pearls, tear drops, circles, and ovals are the best, but you can also try simple splendid studs for the classic, polished look. In fact, you can pick just about any style from Sacred Accessories  such as this lovely pair!

So how can you tell if your face shape is oval? This face shape finds its width at the cheek bones and tapers smoothly in either direction, with a chin slightly slimmer than the forehead. With an ideal face shape, you can easily define and flatter your facial features by wearing the right pair of earrings. Oval faces are very versatile and can wear pretty much anything, so feel free to experiment with all styles to see which ones you prefer.

Speaking of Scarves

Don't you just love how this black, lightweight scarf is draped around Charlize's Theron's neck? For a solid, well put together look, you can go for a scarf that's the same color as your top. Whoever says monochromatic is boring hasn't seen Charlize's look.

I think a scarf is the most versatile accessory in your wardrobe. It can greatly redefine your look and create styles that are dressy, casual, professional, sporty or sizzling -- depending on your mood. If you want the lighter, colorful ones, you can try wearing it Jessica Alba style -- pair it  with a jacket, jeans and a tee and you're good to go!

The possibilities are endless, and it's so much fun to pick a scarf and play around with different tying styles. If you're currently looking for a new stylish scarf to add to your wardrobe, you can find them here.

And just because I love the versatility of scarves , there'll be more posts on how to wear scarves soon!

Falling in love...with accessories

The first time I visited the Sacred Accessories site, I didn’t know where to start! There were just so many pretty items to look at, I could just spend the entire day browsing the entire selection. But I vividly remember the first item that caught my eye – a gorgeous scarf by Elizabeth Gillet.
 

Elizabeth Gillet was trained as an artist, painter and printmaker at Hartwick College before launching her self-labeled line.  It all started when she was unable to find a replacement for a favorite lost scarf so she designed her own. Within months, this same scarf was sold at Barneys New York, and soon after she was running her business out of her fourth floor walk-up Manhattan studio. Today, Elizabeth Gillet scarves and wraps have become the hallmarks of her collections -- a full line of gracefully contemporary scarves, wraps, shrugs and cover ups.
 

This is what Sacred Accessories is all about – unique, designer, stylish pieces that have an interesting story behind them.  Each piece from Sacred Accessories was carefully selected for design and function – because we know it can make or break an outfit.  Stylish fashion accessories bring out the glamour and confidence in us all, making us look and feel fabulous. 
 

If you’ve recently spotted a lovely accessory from your favorite celeb, chances are, you’ll find something similar from Sacred Accessories. If you’re simply looking for something to give as a gift, how about a statement necklace or a jewelry organizer?  The season's designer trends and popular fashion accessories are all here, so you need not look further.
