bracelet / bag / scarf boots / belt Although it’s Black Friday and the deals are plentiful, I can’t help but to peruse for a few items on my own wishlist. Nordstrom’s Designer Luxe section fulfills my needs with investment pieces such as Saint Laurent and Chloe bags (I’m a bag collector, for sure) and […]
It seems that a lot of my spring/summer shoes fall into the neutral category. While I love that color palette, I wondered why my black items seem to be restricted to winter clothes and accessories only. I really do love black for any season and decided some darker sandals were right up my alley for […]
J Brand jeans (via Gilt), Kenna-T jacket (worn here), Club Monaco top, J Crew belt, Zara booties (worn here) Not quite spring, but not really winter–March is a difficult time to dress yourself in the Midwest.
