luxe vs. less - glitterati

During my last trip to New York I purchased some pretty amazing Beatle inspired boots at Top Shop and couldn't help but notice all the glitter this season. As many of you already know I love to sparkle and due to my obsession with all that glitters, I believe every girl (or guy) needs a little (or a lot) sparkle in their wardrobe which brings me to this segment of LUXE vs. LESS

new additions - luxe vs. less

Kenneth Jay Lane 22-karat gold-plated bib necklace

available on Net-a-Porter $600

Kenneth Jay Lane 

Forever 21 bracelet $9.80

While online browsing I came across this fabulous Kenneth Lane 22-karat gold-plated bib necklace (available on net-a-porter), great for spring and sure to dress up any outfit! It reminds me of something Wilma from the Flintstones would wear circa 2011. During a recent trip to Forever 21 (student friendly shopping :)) I was inspired to purchase the bracelet above (also available in jade) to recreate the fresh girly look of the Kenneth Lane necklace. 

Final verdict on Luxe vs. Less --> Obsessed with the Kenneth Lane necklace but am also totally happy with my new purchase! Guilt-free addition to my accessories and spring wardrobe


PS Check out this dream worthy piece my best friend Catherine posted on my wall. None other than Chanel. Thoughts?
