Lookbook: Baubles

What I’m Wearing
J Crew Blythe Blouse – I think I wear a Blythe Blouse at least once a week.  They keep on coming out with pretty colors and I can’t resist them!  I also tried this similar-ish blouse at Old Navy.  The fit is baggier than the J Crew one and not as silky but still a cute blouse for the same look (and a great price.)  I haven’t tried this blouse on yet (on sale for $22) but love all the colors and the fit looks a bit slimmer.
J Crew Tippi Cardigan – I always end up getting cardigans in black and white so thought I’d change it up with pink and lately have been pulling out this one whenever I want to wear a cardigan.
Alloy Faux Leather Skirt – last seen on me in my $150 lookbook.  I went a size up in this thinking that since it was a juinors line it would run small but it’s pretty big on me so tightened it up with a belt.  So I recommend to go as close to true to size in this skirt if you get it too.
J Crew Belt
Chanel pumps – I love the cap toe look.  Glitter cap toe pumps?  Yes please!  I can’t vouch for the quality but these grey cap toe pumps and black/gold
for $21 are super cute! 

t+j Designs Luxe Baubles Necklace – if you love our pave items, we are doing a limited time special pricing for several pieces.  All our pave pieces are 18K plated and just fabulous.  I wear them all the time!

I’m a little behind in lookbooks, I took these awhile back as you might have seen them on our t+j Designs blog.  This is one of my favorite necklaces, it’s one of those statement necklaces that you think at first you have no idea what to wear it with but then it ends up matching so many outfits.  I’ve been getting lots of comments (online and in real life) about how long my hair is.  I’ve said it before, but I swear by Biotin!  I take it everyday and my hair just grows like crazy.

Sale Shopping

Just a quick shopping post.  I had to return a few things and stumbled upon the additional 25% off sale at J Crew!  I know they had 25% off online last week so it looks like it’s the stores turn this week.

I found a few things that aren’t on sale online but a great price in stores.

The Jules dress (in retro jade) was $119 + 25% off in stores.  Also, my picture makes it look super blue but it’s more of a teal like on the J Crew site.  I’m wearing the 00 and the fit is great in the shoulders, sleeve length and overall length. (For reference I’m 5’2″ and usually wear a 0/XS)  I love shift dresses and haven’t found a long sleeve one that fit right so am really loving this one.  I’m sure I’ll be wearing it a lot in the fall.

The Matchstick Cord (in sweet lemon) was also on sale for $54.99 + 25% off. 
The only color I saw on sale was this yellow but it’s not on sale
online.  I’m wearing my regular size and fit is great.  These cords are
actually really soft and comfy.  You know how some cords can be a bit
stiff and tight?  These ones are more of a relaxed fit which I really
liked.

I’m loving this retro jade color that they have in several pieces.  I actually already have the blythe blouse in this color but saw that it was on sale for $59.99 and the extra 25% off makes it a really good deal!  I love the cafe capri pants and have several different colors.  They were also on sale in store but they didn’t have my size, but they are on sale online.

 Blythe Blouse | Cafe Capri
Speaking of pants, can we talk about the Pixie Pant?  For some reason, I hear a lot about the Minnie Pant and the Cafe Capri but the Pixie Pant seems to get no hype, however, I was looking for a nice pair of skinny black pants and ordered these in my last order.  They are awesome!  I would describe them as leggings x 10 in awesomeness.  🙂  The material is nice and thick and they suck you in at all the right places.  It also has a zipper so unlike most leggings that are always falling down, these ones actually stay up and in place!  They really are a mix of a pant and a legging.  I think they will make great travel pants.  Sizing wise – I stayed with my regular J Crew pant sizing and got the “short” inseam which is still a little long but not too bad.
At Nordstrom, I saw that the floral blazer I wore on Monday’s Lookbook is now on sale for 50% off.
Lush Blazer (comes in 3 other floral prints and a polka dot print too)
If you follow me on instagram you may have seen that I went to look at the Prada Saffiano totes again.  They put out a few new colors and I love this gorgeous burgundy (the official name is Bordeaux)
On another note: I’m giving away a pair of Seychelles shoes from PB&J Boutique, make sure to enter if you haven’t yet.  
And we’ve got a great giveaway for my jewelry line!  Just like our facebook page and let us know your favorite piece from our line and you’ll be entered to win a $200 shopping spree!  Go to our facebook page to enter.

Lookbook: Peter Pan

What I’m Wearing
Lush Blazer (from Nordstrom) – comes in a few different prints, I adore this blazer and thinking about getting the other floral color.
Oasap Blouse – to tell you the truth I was not into this blouse at all.  It’s super cute on the model but on me it was meh.  The collar is a bit big but eventually it won me over as I do love the sheer with the dots on the top.  
Lily White Faux Leather Skirt – I’m still looking for a real leather skirt but these faux options are fun to play around with.  I like that this one has an elastic waist, it fits a lot better than the Alloy skirt I got (I should’ve sized down in that one but oh well.)
Chanel pumps – not available online, a look for less at ASOS.  Pretty Stuart Weitzman cap toe pumps, the burgundy with the gold is gorgeous.
YSL mini Cabas Chyc – are you sick of seeing this bag yet? 🙂  It’s become THE bag for me, I can’t manage to switch it out with any of my other bags.  The size is perfect and I love the shoulder strap option.

Hi guys!  I just got back from a very wonderful week in Cabo.  (This lookbook was taken before my vacation.) Had an amazing time as always with my husband and now getting settled back in.  The resort had internet but you had to pay for it and I just decided not to get sucked into the online world while on vacay as I was having too much fun just relaxing and enjoying my days of sand, sun and margaritas!  The first time I checked my email all week was on Thursday and I was pretty proud of my restraint 🙂  Last week was all scheduled posts so I’m just getting to questions and emails and will get back to you soon.  Have a good week!
