paired down

As much as I love my chunky jewels, lately I'm all about simplifying. I guess now that I'm layering up my clothes, I'm pairing down when it comes to accessories. That's why these delicate little beauties from Delilah Dust were the perfect additions to my necklace collection (and possibly my new favorites - I literally haven't taken them off in days!)

necklaces c/o delilah dust, zara jacket (similar), american apparel top, j brand jeans (available here),
sam edelman booties (available here), rebecca minkoff bag (available here)

surprise

As many of you may know, on June 11th I celebrated my 18th birthday!! The day was filled with family, delicious food and presents! Amongst all of the gifts I was given, I'd have to say that I was most surprised by two of them, my new sunglasses and my new bracelet! As you may remember from previous want lists, I've had my eye on these Gucci aviators for quite some time - and my very generous brother got them for me (he's the best!) My bracelet was a total surprise - and I'm absolutely in love with it!

A plus side when the weather gets chilly? Wearing all of Mommy's gorgeous fur coats! This one, which was a gift from my Grandma (she has the best taste..doesn't she give the coolest presents!?) can be worn either with these wool sleeves, fur sleeves, or with no sleeves at all! A three-in-one fur..so cool. Grandma knows best, like always!

cobalt

Rather than being predictable by wearing the cold-weather-color-norms, such as deep burgundies, rich hunter greens and gorgeous berry and red lip colors, I opted for the unexpected, wearing my bright blue jeans and my new and perhaps favorite lip color, YSL's 7 Le Fuchsia.

What do you think of wearing bright colors in the winter, and how would you incorporate them into your day?!
