Anyone who knows me will confirm my undying love for accessories. I firmly believe that a statement necklace, colorful scarf or an awesome arm party will make or break an outfit. Coco Chanel’s rule about removing one accessory before you leave the house falls on deaf ears, which is why I am dying over the jewelry site Baublebar.
This fashionably fabulous site offers all types of jewelry (rings, earrings, bracelets, necklaces) at varying price points. The best part? Every piece is seriously stylish. The worst part? I want every. single. one. Starting with these:
Baublebar collaborates with some pretty design-savvy folks, including the creator of Atlantic-Pacific and Ninia Garcia to name a few. If you like what you see, be sure to sign up to get exclusive updates on deals and specialty discounted “buried baubles.”
With booties being in season, I’m on the hunt for ankle length denim. All of my jeans, both colored and denim, are on the longer side since I am only 5′ 5.” They work just fine for my typical daily footwear of flats, but with booties, the bottom of the jean tends to bunch up and look incredibly awkward when paired with a bootie.
I prefer the ankle length styles with my work pants, so I think I need to hike up the hemline on my denim too. Here are some of the options that have caught my eye while perusing online.
These AG jeans are the perfect burgundy color for fall.
AG Stevie Ankle Color Jeans from Anthropologie | $158
Current/Elliott Skinny Ankle Jeans at Nordstrom | On sale for $105.90
Paige is one of my absolute favorite denim brands. I’ve owned a few pairs and love the quality. However, like most designer jeans, they run long. For instance, these jeans have a 30″ inseam. For someone on the shorter side, like me, you’ll want to aim for a 27″ inseam and zippered jeans are near (if not completely) impossible to hem.

These come in a range of colors, from yellow to teal to magenta and about half of the price of any of the other options I’ve seen so far. The inseam for the regular is 28″ and the petite is 26″ – sound about perfect to me! The only downside? They don’t carry them in-store in the DC-metro area, so I won’t be able to judge the fit until they come in the mail.
My brain is on booties. There are so many gorgeous pairs out there right now. Heeled, platformed, western, tied and two-toned. There are just too many to wear, but that doesn’t mean we can’t try!
As you might have guessed, this week’s like it, love it, buying it is all about the bootie.
Like it.
Nine West shoes are always a good bargain. The price is usually right and the quality, in my experience, has always been good. The color is just the right shade of gray to be a perfect neutral and the heel height is moderate enough to be comfortable to wear all day.
Nine West Bleaker Bootie | $119
Love it.
Glitter + a great camel colored bootie? I’m in heaven. I saw these in a magazine back in August but thought they might look cheap. Then I saw them in person and they are surprisingly high quality. A friend of mine purchased them and raves about them. At just over $50, you really can’t go wrong.
Wanted Dressage Bootie | $54.97 at DSW
Buying it.
Black and tan, one of my favorite color combos. These booties will go with everything in my wardrobe. I’m all about comfort, so a 2 inch heel is about as high as I’ll go for a more casual boot I plan to wear during the day. They are just a little bit country, little bit rock’n roll and a whole lotta perfect.
