Would you believe me if I told you this is the first shirt dress I've ever owned? And my first real "little black dress" too. What can I say, I had to wait for the perfect one! And this Jason Wu dress definitely fits the bill! I scored it for $80 at Roundabout Resale  last month. I can definitely see this getting a LOT of wear over the next few years and beyond!

Dress: Jason Wu (Roundabout Resale), Bag: Wink & Winn (giveaway), Sunglasses: Cole Haan c/o Marshalls, Heels: Franco Sarto (DSW),  Necklace c/o Marrin Costello, Watch: Marc by Marc Jacobs (Gilt)

Today Lydia and I are excited to feature some pieces of jewelry from LA based designer Marrin Costello!  We partnered up with Marrin to showcase how we would style her fabulous pieces! I chose the MIDI Rings (gunmetal), Stellar Ring (gunmetal) and Helix (gold) necklace while Lydia opted for the Baby B (gold) and the Saratoga (gold) bracelets.

While all very different, each piece I received was well made and simply designed. I always find simple jewelry to be the best, because you can pair it with most anything.  For the looks I styled I showed both sides of the coin: a simple black dress with a necklace, and an outfit featuring a print.  I could have switched my jewelry for each look and still looked fabulous! That's how I know I found a great accessory.

Enjoy the photos below, and #DontForgetToAccessorize with Marrin Costello Jewelry! I'm really looking forward to the release of her Stoned collection because, as we all know, I love jewelry with gemstones and other pretty things.

Today I'm sharing the first of two posts featuring sunglasses from GlassesShop.com! This pair is called the "Fanny" and features pearls and a jaguar on the arm! I love that little touch of fun added to an otherwise classic pair of sunglasses. And, what would a sunglasses review be without talking about the sun? Sometimes even when I wear sunglasses I find myself squinting as I'm driving or walking in the sun. That wasn't the case with these, I could almost look directly at the sun without being bothered. That's the mark of a great pair!

Here's part 2 of my photoshoot extras, see part 1 in yesterday's post. It's so funny looking at all the outfits and seeing how different they all are.  It's clear that I love skinny jeans and prints, though.

I wore this outfit on a cooler (almost-rainy) Summer day to do some shopping. These jeans are soooo comfortable it's like wearing leggings! Can't wait to wear the heck out of them this Fall and Winter! I love how versatile this crossbody from Wink and Winn is. It has three pieces so for this outfit I took off the leopard section since it clashed with my top.

These overalls I thrifted last year are so cute, yet I rarely wear them. The reasons? 1. It's a bit short and 2. I can never decide what to wear under it. I think I've only shown the overalls on the blog once [and another on instagram], but I think I've worn them a few other times.  I love the color and the fabric is super soft, if only it were a couple inches longer it would possibly be a Summer staple!

I was also a little adventurous with my hair this particular day. I used to braid my hair a lot, but since getting it cut in December it has never really been long enough for a good braid. I was pleasantly surprised to see I could get a crown braid again! Yay!

Overalls: Calvin Klein (thrifted), Tee: Everlane, Sandals: Ancient Greek Sandals (Net-a-Porter), Bag: Wink and Winn (giveaway win), Necklace c/o by boe, Sunglasses: Ray-Ban "Emma" (Marshalls), Rings: vintage, Brilliant Imports & Mom's

Here is the second outfit in my ThredUp Summer Shopping Challenge posts! This is something I never though I would find myself wearing: an almost ALL WHITE look! What is happening to me?  I picked up this adorable Studio 1 blouse for only $4.99! I'm very into prints come Summer time so it's great to have more options now. Tomorrow's outfit will also have a great graphic print.

Also, can we talk about the door behind me! Lydia's town library is so perfect for photos! We made sure to go back and use it again for another outfit (tomorrow's, in fact.) I never mind driving the 35 minutes to her for photos because there are so many great locations, and it's more fun taking photos with a friend than with a tripod.
