Cute blue over the shoulder bag. Blue is a must have color for a bag.

This dress provides some whimsy and can easily be dressed up or down.

Little envelop studded earrings. Need I say more....?

Boho chic styled headband. Craving a cute headband this Spring.

Perfect gray suede flat goes with dark rinse blue jeans or with a cute skirt!

Ventured over to Asos and found these lovely items! All reasonably priced, too. Asos provides a great selection for women and men in all price ranges and styles. There is something for everyone at Asos.

Google Images: Stacked Bracelets

I saw the first image from inside am-lul's closet and was totally absorbed into the stacked bracelets look and its infinite possibilities.

Bracelets with a tribal or Grecian vibe are total trends this season. I am especially loving gold chunk link bracelets mixed in.

How do you stack your bracelets?

Color Block Me!

Jewel Tones Spring 2011 by JConde23 featuring draped dresses

Color Blocking is all the rage for the upcoming Spring. It also is keeping my mind off the gross looking snow that has accumulated this winter.

I definitely have a pink skirt at home, but do not have any jewel tone tops to pair with it. I have been looking to these images above. B. Jones Style blog has been a huge inspiration knocking my usual grays, whites, and blacks out of the park for this upcoming season. She pulls together jewel tones and neutrals like nobody's business!

The image I pulled from Glamour's magazine article online showcases a bright blue with an orange skirt combo. Amazingly done for the runway and can easily be interpreted for the real world.

Lastly, I pulled together some chic and bright pieces for my 'Color Block' Polyvore post. I think its best to keep two jewel tones that compliment each other in an outfit and tie it together with a neutral piece: either a blazer, pair of heels, or a sweet clutch.

And for those who are not 100% ready to commit to a full blown color block-fest, I would suggest trying a bright lip or eyeshadow with a bright/jeweled tone top or other accessory. 

How do you plan to color block this Spring? Send me links via email or posts. I would love to hear your thoughts!

Holy Espadrilles, Batman!

Images from Because I'm Addicted 

While I was casually reading up on my backlog on Google Reader, I stumbled upon these delicious espadrilles. The lovely blog, Because I'm Addicted, featured a post on the editorial spread in Turkey's Vogue magazine.

My how espadrilles have evolved! I remember when I was in grammar school, one of my first pair of "heels" was a wedge espadrille in denim blue! I definitely need an updated pair. Ones like these above would do the trick!

Stripes

www.instyle.com

I love stripes. There is a mini section in my closet dedicated to stripes. Striped long sleeves, striped cardigans, striped dresses, etc.

Stripes give a basic t-shirt an updated quality that plain ones lack. Striped tops give a basic skirt or pant a little more "jazz" and can spice up a colored cardigan in a way you normally wouldn't expect.

Thanks to Coco Chanel, the ever classic striped shirt is still a staple in modern day style. It can be worn with any style you have whether its sophistication, edge, modern or avant garde that your look achieves.

For example:

Striped Shirt - Work & Casual by JConde23 featuring gold jewelries

This combo with the gray slacks is similar to how I am dressed for work today. I also chose to belt my cardigan with a brown suede skinny belt. After work, I can slip on my dark rinse jeans for a more casual chic look!

How do you wear your stripes?? :)
