A few of my favorite things.....

I wasn't able to post anything last night....so I figured I'd make up for it by giving you all a sneak peek into my closet. I wanted to share a few of my faves and see what you think. My style ranges from edgy tribal bohemian-esque...to pretty vintage w/ lace and frills. I really like mixing things together and seeing what I can come up with. I wear what I like. Form AND function are very important--so make sure you're comfortable in what you're wearing and that it makes you feel good. Style is what you want it to be--its a direct reflection of your personality. I love wearing bright colors and bold prints, but I also love the purity of neutral tones as well. Here is some insight into all of that ;) 

 Yeah, yeah i know. It looks like a lot.........its really not that much.
 I adore jewelry! Some of my favorite outfits have been based around a necklace. Crazy, but true.
 Some of my favorite scarves:
Tribal print from F21--$7
Blue & purple leopard print from Gap--retails at $29; i got for $15 
Neutral toned print infinity scarf from Urban Outfitters--$34
Silk printed scarf from Banana Republic--retails at $60, i got for $30

 This top is fabulous! I got it around my birthday (& wore it out for my birthday w/ some dark denim skinnies, black peep-toe gladiator heels & gold hoop earrings.)
Its from Anthropologie & retails for $198. I got it for $10. Yeah, you read right....ten dollars. Did I mention its 100% silk?! Yep ;)
 I have yet to wear this adorable top. I love the vintage feel of it! Its by Nick & Moe & I got it at Jennifer North boutique....for $5. It was so cheap b/c the bottom button (as you can probably see here) was broken in half. It was a STEAL! It came w/ extra buttons :)
 Heavy & hand-knit. I fell in love with this top as soon as I saw it! Banana Republic; it retails for $89; I got it half off :)
 This is quite possibly the most amazing sweater I have ever owned. I saw it at Urban Outfitters and fell head over heels in love! I love the tribal/Aztec print. Its cute & cozy...and I get so many compliments when I wear it b/c its pretty unique. I usually don't pay full price for items unless I absolutely cannot live without them--or have been drooling over them for some time. This sweater was $68. Worth every.penny.


 Also from Urban Outfitters, this adorable Kimchi & Blue dress is flattering & I love the wooden buttons down the side of the rib-cage. Its really cute belted! I think I actually got this dress at Plato's Closet for like, $12. It probably retailed for around $45.
 Urban Outfitters tank (see a trend here? One of my favorite stores!!) This top is AMAZING! Its heavy from the hand-beaded design and looks great on. It was originally around $68 I think, I got it for $29 last summer. It was the only one & just happened to be my size!
 These Steve Madden sandals were a gift from my dad <3 I picked them out though & got a great deal! $25 at TJ Maxx!
 The infamous Michael Kors "boyfriend" watch. Most fashion-conscious girls that I know either already have one or they want one! These retail at major department stores and online for $225.......mine (w/ tax) was only $65. Hallelujah!
 My first major purchase when I started working at Banana Republic over a year ago was this amazing camel colored leather "motorcycle" jacket. It retailed for $300......I got it for half the price. I wear it all the time and absolutely adore it!
 Summer is on its way. You better believe I'm going to be sporting this fedora with some great sunglasses & my swimsuit on the side of the pool ;) Can't wait!! 
Banana Republic--retails for $40; I got it for $20.
Last but certainly not least....this bad boy really doesn't need an introduction. My pride & joy of any handbags I own is my "Totally Turnlock" Marc Jacobs cross-body bag in the "wild mushroom" color. I have wanted this bag for probably 4 years now. Its not cheap, and I'm not the type of girl to get crazy about designer handbags, but I really did want this one for forever....so finally this December, I went for it.
