Never One for Neon

Those who know me know that I've never been a huge fan of neon — that is, until this weekend. I've made it my mission to start adding a bit of color to my wardrobe (when I say a bit, I mean for every 10 pieces, only 8 or 9 will be black). Needless to say, my years at Vera Wang in all black have made an impact on me — that and Johnny Cash.

Anway, while shopping at the J.Crew Factory this weekend, I came across this bling with just a subtle touch of neon around the edge. It made me realize that just a hint of color can do the trick. I don't have to look like a popsicle to lighten up for summer.

PS. If you can't find this particular one online or in stores, I also love this "pale guava" version, as well.

TSO Loves Rifle Paper Co.

I can't say enough about Anna Bond's amazing company, Rifle Paper Co.! I recently received this beautiful iPhone cover and notebook and fell even deeper in love with her work. From the gorgeous designs, to the quality of the materials, each product is truly a work of art. 

What I love about this case is that it is protective, yet stylish. It lets the beauty of the phone show through, while adding a touch of flair that works with any ensemble. Your phone is a permanent accessory, so it's essential that it suites your individual style, and is flexible enough to work with a variety of wardrobe changes.

Thank you, Anna for creating such lovely pieces!

Accessorize

All it takes is the right accessories to make an outfit complete.

Mixing and matching pieces is key. Don't be afraid to incorporate pieces that may not at first appear to be cohesive. Take a risk, be bold, and shake up your look by rocking a variety of bracelets and rings.  Wearing a few smaller pieces can be just as impactful as one bold item. So, have some fun with tiny treasures like these!

Forever Vera

There is no one that compares to Vera Wang when it comes to design, dressing a woman, and the art of being unique.  This weekend I was fortunate enough to rock not one, but two of her beautiful baubles!

Working for her company taught me about fashion, art, life, and true style. From her gorgeous bridal collection, to her exquisite RTW collection, I am forever in awe of her creativity and talent. But, the most impressive and inspiring part about Vera is her dedication to her clients and the women that she designs for. Her work ethic and devotion made such an impact on my life and my career. Vera's brand is incomparable and so is her team. Love, love, love them.

Vera's style and skill transcends boundaries and wearing her pieces makes you feel beautiful. Wearing these pieces this weekend was so special and I will forever treasure the photos.
