Own: Friday Faves

It's been a few weeks, but I haven't stopped online window shopping!  I hate when life gets in the way of sharing my shopping finds with you.

Anyway!  I'm exactly a month out from my upcoming trip to Japan so I've really got to stop shopping in the US so I can blow all my money in Japan which means that my window shopping is at an all time high.  Here are my faves this week!

At a recent dinner at Vinegar Hill House, Brooklyn, a super chic girl walked in carrying this very bag:

I loved it so much that I came home and immediately started to search for round leather bags with tassels.  It took me a while but I finally found it on none other than Zara.com!  And better yet- the bag is only $40.  Give it a nice home!

Another favorite that I have to tell you about is an adorable site called adornmonde.com that will fulfill all your dainty jewelry needs, but at a fraction of the cost since they are a fashion jewelry site.  Here's a pair of earrings that I can't stop thinking about:

So cute and pretty for just $42.  If it's your first time shopping on the site, they will also give you 25% off.  

Last but not least, while I know it's totally not the season, I saw this bikini a while ago and am still totally in love with it.  While I won't be going anywhere soon where I can rock said bikini (nor am I in bikini shape) I thought I would but it out there for you.

I love the embellishment on it.  It's definitely not the most practical suit if you want to swim in it and the sequins are probably not going to stay on it forever...but hey, YOLO.

Happy Friday and have a great weekend!

Own! Vrai & Oro

You guys.  Time flies.  It's already been almost a year since I got married.  I'm stunned at how fast time has passed.  I know people say this all the time, but it really does feel like just yesterday that I was freaking out about getting everyone to our venue...

Anyway, that means it's almost time for our anniversary!  So, that's left me not just wondering what I should get him, but the more fun part- what I might be getting!  Might sound a little bratty, but whatever, this is my blog and I'll say what I want.  And while we're on the subject, I'll be the first to say that I think fine jewelry as a gift is always awesome.

Since I moved to NYC and started to develop my own sense of style, I've always loved really delicate jewelry and so it's no surprise that I love everything at Catbird, but there are certain pieces that I love that Catbird that I can't pay for because I fail to understand how a little chip of diamond in a ring suddenly makes it $300+.  Absurd.

Anyway, I recently discovered this brand called Vrai & Oro and the neat thing about them is that they don't have any storefronts so they don't have to pass that cost back to their customers.  What does that mean exactly?  Well, it just means that their stuff is cheaper!  The better news is that they don't slack in the adorable department and I love everything on their site and I WANT IT ALL.

But as these things go, I'll just have to show you my favorites.  Help me narrow down which one I should BUY (or maybe receive as an anniversary gift...!!)

I love the simplicity of these cute semi hoops.  I am always looking for jewelry that I can wear every day.  I'm not skilled enough with the styling of accessories to make things complicated, but these earrings are just different enough that if I had a day when I wanted to jazz up my earring game, these would be perfect.

I have a ton of tiny little rings both knuckle and normal that I wear almost every day and this would the perfect addition.  It fits the style of my existing rings, but has just enough bling to make things interesting.

I LOVE these triangle earrings.  I don't have much more to say about them, but I think they're just more unique because of their shape.  I think these might be my favorite.

And all of these items are really affordable when it comes to diamonds and gold.  Here's hoping that the gift fairy hears my prayers!

Ogle: Les Petits Joueurs

If you know me, you know I'm a total sucker for anything cute.  I can't help myself.  I go into a trance of squeals and eeps.  So it's probably no surprise to any of you that I LOVE Les Petits Joueurs.

I found out about them from following Eva Chen on Instagram (@evachen212).  She's got this signature pose which is her posing with her feet propped up in a car's backseat next to a fabulous purse and some sort of produce (usually from Fresh Direct).  She's featured a few of Les Petits Joueurs adorable creations and I was immediately in love.

Reading about them on their site, they're a pretty new brand that started really picking up over the last year and it's no surprise, but their inspiration is pop culture and Legos!

Of course I have to show you my favorites!

AREN'T THEY SO CUTE!?

These are definitely not bags that I would label as classics or must-haves, but they are definitely different and fun!  I'm inspired to be a little more dynamic with my fashion choices when I see these adorable bags.  Who knows...maybe someone will gift me one.  Though the more I look at them, the more I want to shell out the bucks for one...!
