Trend Sighting: Pavé Link Bracelet

J.Crew

So has anyone taken notice to the pavé link bracelets that seem to be gracing women's wrists this season? I can't stop noticing the oversize, yet classic link bracelet all over the blogisphere, since the only fashion I encounter on the regular involves neon colored scrubs everywhere. Of course J.Crew has this puppy in stock, but with a price tag of $125, its a bit out of my budget. Which is why Ily Coutour's version, at $75, is a little more do-able. Granted I'm still not sure I can shell out that kind of cash for a bracelet, but maybe J.Crew will have a massive 40% off sale or something? Too much? How about 30% off? No? Well, a girl can dream can't she?

What are you thoughts? Do you already own one? Is it on your wish list this fall?

Trend Sighting: Dark Lips

What are your thoughts on dark lips? 

I feel like I just won't be able to pull it off, but then I see other girls wear it and completely and totally rock it. And then I'm torn. Because I want to be just like them. Except I know I won't be. I'll try it and people will point and stare and tell me I should consult a doctor because my lips are an unhealthy color. I'm not sure if its because I live in a small farm town where heels and bright lipstick are nonexistent. Or maybe because it'll probably end of looking more or less like I rubbed a grape lollipop all over my mouth and called it a day. Its a toss up. Maybe one of these days I'll try it out, but for now, I may just have to lust from this side of the interweb. 

I'd love to hear your opinion. 

I've added a new feature on the right sidebar for you all to cast your vote on the newest trends. I'll be updating it with new trends so make sure to follow along and voice your opinion.

(Sidenote: I felt this exact same way about red lips, and I've been trying to rock those every chance I get. So there's hope for me yet people. There's hope.)

Style Crush

I have such a style crush on Alicia from Cheetah is the New Black. Its serious. She just has the perfect mix of feminine, edgy and laid back but still pulled together. I idolize her style and usually try to keep her in mind when buying clothes for my closet. I feel like I need a larger clothing budget to be more like her, but eh, I do what I can with what I got I suppose. Check her out some of my favorite outfits from the past couple years and the source of my style inspiration:

{I will recreate this shirt. And I will find bring pink shorts. Trust me, the hunt is on.}

{She even makes a t-shirt look fabulous. I think I need more sequins...}

{She just gets me. Relaxed jeans and a tee with a fun headband. Fashion soulmates.}

{I love the mix of feminine prints and blouses with leather and black. Plus that bag MUST be mine}

{Same thing with the mix between military and feminine}

{Lace and leather and cheetah. Perfection.}

{I love pale dresses with black leather}

{I need these shoes. Need them. Love how it edges up a completely casual look}

{I need more bold necklaces. And we all know I love red pants...}

{I actually just wore a similar outfit. The pants bring an unexpected change to the basic jeans/tee combo}

{My absolute favorite look of hers. I spent hours trying to justify buying those boots and blazer. Legit}

{I love stripes and oversized sweaters}

{I can do this. Jean jacket? check! Flannel? check! Gray tee? check! Just need a statement necklace}

{I love this leather vest.}

{All white with a touch of leather. The leather breaks up the ultra feminine outfit perfectly}

{Never would have thought of putting together flannel and cheetah but if she says it works, I'm a believer}

{Simple but different}

{Second favorite look of all time from her. I just....I love it all. Again, that bag and blazer MUST be mine}

{Makes me want to try maxi dresses. But I'm tall so thats tough. Again, love the leather addition}

{Who doesn't love chambray and black jeans?}

Do you have a style crush too now? Good!
