sole mate - jeffrey campbell riddle wedge

During a recent shopping trip I spotted these wonderfully amazing and crazy Jeffrey Campbell Riddle Paint wedges! Want them. Need them. Got to have them immediately!!! Anyways, I exercised some self control and postponed my purchase. However while searching for my new obsession online I came across another pair of amazing splatter paint heels below. Gorgeous right? They're sold out everywhere but I must point out that they look very similar to the Alexander Wang Dakota lace-up booties that I've drooled over many many times online AND in person.

Balenciaga - Are you drooling yet? I have always wanted a Balenciaga City bag but after seeing these amazing pumps I have a new #1 on my wish list!! But seriously take a close look at the detail, I couldn't find a picture showcasing the front of these strappy beauties but is it really necessary?

look du jour - feminine

Longsleeve Tops by Vivienne Westwood
Platforms by Brian Atwood

I know this color palette is the polar opposite of yesterday's post (which was so beautifully intense with color) but I was recently sent to pull a selection at BCBG for a photoshoot and fell in love with their accessories (along with many other articles of clothing). Anyways couldn't help myself from using it as inspiration for this look du jour.

2. Envelope Clutch by BCBGeneration

4. Perfume by Chloe
5. Long Sleeve Top by Vivienne Westwood

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?
