Fashion Friday

I found this gorgeous editorial and just had to share. The colors, textures and prints are bold and absolutely gorgeous! This was shot for Style Switzerland's May issue. Photographers Andoni & Arantxa capture Rwandan model Nadja Giramata, styled by Martina Russi, hair by Andrew Guida, and makeup by Andrea Costa.

Fashion Friday

Since I didn't do a jewelry post on Wednesday, I thought I'd slip one in for a Fashion Friday post. Today I'm featuring two different pieces: Cutting Edge toggle bracelet and Golden Girl pin and magnetic enhancer.

The Cutting Edge bracelet has matching earrings and a fabulous asymmetrical necklace (36"). I love the gold and silver mix. It's a great way to add either metal to your outfit. I've been using it to incorporate more gold into my outfits. I love to wear it on the same wrist as my silver watch and then add a different bracelet (silver, gold, antique brass, or beads, etc.) on the other wrist. I've never had a toggle bracelet before, so I was unsure about whether or not I should be worried about it falling off. But I've never had any problems with it. I like that it can be adjustable if I want it to be. It's 7&1/4" to 8&1/4". My favorite part is the great balance between the polished silver and the gorgeous texturized gold.

The Golden Girl pin and magnetic enhancer is similar to the Flipside enhancer I featured last week. See [HERE]. It has a magnetic closure on the back so you are able to easily add it or remove it from various chains. The difference between the Flipside and Golden Girl is that Golden Girl is also a pin. It's so versatile! It's eye-catching on a simple gold chain and looks chic on a strand of pearls. It is a bright and gorgeous textured gold with sparkling crystals in the center.



See me wearing Golden Girl [HERE] on Day 29 with Sunny Necklace.

Fashion Friday: 30x30 Remix Recap

I made it! One more thing to cross off my 26 before 27 list! This was definitely a learning experience, but it was a fun and creative challenge. One thing I learned throughout this process was that putting in a little extra effort in getting ready really made me feel better overall. I felt better about myself and more confident in myself. Take an extra 10 or 15 minutes to think through your outfit, add some jewelry and you're ready to go.

I definitely want to do this challenge again when it starts to get nicer outside. Right now I have a strange feeling of freedom when I look in my closet, but at the same time it's overwhelming to have so many choices. Maybe it'd be a good time to clean it out, huh? ;)


I hope you've enjoyed my 30x30 remix journey! Have you participated in this challenge before? What did you learn from it? Feel free to share a link. I'd love to see what you've done!

Fashion Friday: 30x30 Remix - Update 5


I might have spoke too soon last week with finally feeling like I found my way.  These last few days were hard.  I didn't want to repeat anything and still tried to use things evenly.  If I hadn't cared about that it may have been a little easier, who knows.  I guess the point is that I tried things I wouldn't normally try. So here are my last four days of the challenge.  A 30x30 remix recap post is going to be following this shortly.

Day 27:

Day 28: 

Day 29: An unexpected remix. Might be a fav.

Fashion Friday: 30x30 Remix - Update 4



I feel like I may have finally found my way through this remix journey.  It's starting to get easier to mix things that maybe I normally wouldn't have.  I feel a little more freedom and creativity when getting dressed.  Shirt X doesn't always have to go with Skirt Y and Cardigan Z.  It's okay to try something new, even if it doesn't turn out exactly like you plan.  I'm still trying to balance using everything equally, because I'm weird....but whatever.  Just a few days left to go!  I'll share the rest of my outfits next week and do a little 30x30 remix recap!

Fashion Friday: 30x30 Remix - Update 3


I wanted to post this last Friday, but I went out of town and forgot my external hard drive that had these pictures on it.  Oh well.  I'm so thankful that I passed the halfway mark!  I may be weird, okay, I am weird, but I have a list of all my pieces and I make a check by each one when I use it.  That way I can easily tell what I've worn a lot and what I haven't so I can try to use it.  I want to make sure I use every item fairly evenly so that I can make the most of it all.  I really like how I did this week.

Fashion Friday: 30x30 Remix - Update 2


I'm done with week 2!!  Pretty much every day this week I wanted to quit and give up.  Because I'd already pretty much used everything and I didn't know what to do next.  I'm thankful my sister was around to say "Just do it!" I had to suck it up and make it work.  When I got past my complaining and actually got dressed I was really happy that I did it!  I felt so much better about myself when I put in that extra effort.  Playing with my new jewelry was pretty fun too!
