5 Under $50: Studs

  one / two / three / four / five

In college, I was all about the fancy schmancy dangly earrings. Hand Picked was my jam.  Now, you will rarely see me wearing danglies. I'm more of a stud, sometimes hoop, girl. I'd rather wear a really bright or big obnoxious necklace and wear simple studs. 

These are some of my favorite studs under $50 that are out right now. 

The first pair, my super stylish co-worker, Leah, wears frequently and I'm always admiring them. Simple, yet edgy. 

The second pair, I like because I always go back to gold. You could wear those with anything.

The last pair, come in almost every color under the sun and resemble an old pair of earrings I bought from Express that I wear almost every day in a light taupe color. 

What are your favorite pair of studs that you own?

5 Under $50: Blazers

Ever since I picked up this white with navy stripes blazer from Old Navy after Christmas, I finally jumped aboard the blazer train. They are the perfect piece to wear to work, wear while running errands over a tee and skinny jeans, or even over a dress to that dinner party you have to attend.  

Here are some pictures that I go to for inspiration, and below that, my top 5 favorites under $50 that prove that blazers don't have to all be black and boring. 

Ok, maybe 6..

Snowpocalypse in Charleston.

Getting ready for Snowpocalypse 2014 in Charleston! 

My Wisconsin neighbors are laughing at us. 

But what can we say? We never see weather like what is about to hit us so we are not as prepared. What's especially crazy is that yesterday it was pushing 70* here! 

I took the day off today, rather than driving 45 minutes to and from work and potentially facing freezing roads and bridges. Turns out, they decided to close the building at noon, so I would have been fine. Tomorrow I was already scheduled off, so that worked out well. 

Perfect excuse to stay in lounge wear for the next day and a half. 

Stay safe and warm everyone!

Watch Yo'Self.

I go through accessory phases. One month I'm obsessed with statement necklaces, the next it's cross body purses. This month, it's watches. A watch is a part of your outfit that shouldn't be overlooked.

 

These are a few that I'm currently lusting over at the moment..

 



 

Wedding Wednesday: Honeymoon Essentials.

 

Cameron and I are deep in the middle of planning our honeymoon and are so close to making a decision! Looking at all of the pictures of clear blue water, frozen drinks and infinity pools have really got my mind thinking about what I am going to need to pack!
