Is It Spring Yet? JCrew Spring Looks

Spring in January?  Of course not- but how cool are these spring looks from JCrew?  

I like how JCrew has diverse models, but I'm a little annoyed they are all size 00 and there is even a 12-year-old looking model (wearing lace jacket, below).  I suppose whatever sells, right?

Adding to my Lust List: YSL Arty ring and eBay Lookalikes

I'm updating my Lust List to include this YSL Arty Ring with a Golden Stone.  This ring has looked fab on so many bloggers such as From Head to Toe,  Wendy's Lookbook, and Really Petite (click links to see the ring).  
Since I'm big on mixing metals, I thought this would be the perfect combo- gunmetal with a gold stone.  I know what folks love most about the Arty is the pop of color, but this one is really what I'm coveting.
Priced at $250, it's gotta be something I'm super in love with.  And at this moment, I'm not absolutely head over heels.  A search on eBay will turn up lots of duplicates at a fraction of the price.  I'm almost thinking I will buy one of these to take on a test drive- to see if the real thing will suit my taste.

I know the lookalikes are pretty poor representations of the real thing.  
Do you think it's a good idea to buy a cheapy prior to the real deal?A cheapy sure looks great on her and her!

Bracelets & Bangles: An Inspiration

I love the bloggers I follow- they are constantly an inspiration.  For instance, I hardly ever wear bracelets, because, a) I am always running late and don't have the patience for clasps, b) they get caught on my clothing, or c) don't like how they feel while I work on the computer.

So seeing the below pretty pictures reminds me what I'm missing out on.  Nevertheless, I wanted to take the time out to give credit to those that inspire me and say thank you.  You all look lovely as always.

Enjoy!

Inspiration Photos

My "photographer" husband has been getting home too late from work to take outdoor photos of me, so I thought I would share some inspiration photos I love from Anthro.

I heart bold colors, florals, lots of belts, and a little peak of lace.  How fun!
