Anjolee Diamonds + How To

There's always so much inspiration on the www. Not surprisingly, Pinterest plays a huge roll in giving me my daily dose of inspiration. I came across this image and thought to try it out, myself! And with Anjolee Diamonds sending me beautiful studs, like these diamond stud earrings, I was ready to play a glam roll. Take a gander at Anjolee Jewelry; they make high-end custom jewelry like hoop earrings, and diamond tennis bracelets that add that extra something to any outfit or hairstyle.

Here's my how-to on getting your hair retro chic, and if you have bangs like me, don't worry about them falling out of the clip.

  • BaByliss, GT Gold Titanium Straightener
  • Tresemme Heat Tamer Protective Spray
  • Loreal's Elnett Satin Hairspray
  • Goody Spin Pins
  • Blingy-brooch-like hair clip from So Good Jewelry

Knuckle Rings

They sure look like they'd hurt if they connected with ones face.  Here are some of the more crazy ones.

Would you be caught dead wearing one? (Images via Pinterest)

Pleats

I used to have a black pleated midi skirt that I gave away a long time ago.  Don't you regret doing that when the style comes back?  I love how graceful these pleated skirts look, and how perfect for summer?

What's your summer style?  Are you a skirts and dresses person or a shorts and t-shirt person?

Umbrella-ella-eh-eh

It's raining here in Toronto, which means SPRING is finally here?!?  Which means that we have to bring out our rain boots and umbrellas!

I adore my Kate Spade rain boots which I got on sale, what are your go-to rain boots or footwear of choice for the rainy season?

As far as umbrellas go, Shed Rain has the lightest ones I've ever come across.  I also love Totes for their affordability and sizes.  London Undercover has the most unique umbrellas ever, like this fish and chips one and this English Breakfast one.  How cute are they?

Then there's the Polite Umbrella which you can pull into yourself if the sidewalk is too busy or if it's a windy day.  Brilliant, don't you think?  It's one on a list of 20 COOLEST umbrellas you'll ever see!

Twiggy

Wasn't the Twigster (do you think anyone called her that?) such a fashion inspiration? I would never dare cut my hair that short, but she has always looked so cool, and check out that long (and thick!) braid!

With the 70s revival, do you see yourself wearing those floppy hats?  Super cute!

Shoe Closet

Spring = Spring Cleaning, right?

I cleaned up my closet and realized I have about 100 pairs of shoes, which I like to think is average for women?  How many pairs of shoes do you own?

I use a couple of the antique white Akada shoe organizers from Home Depot in my closet along with Ikea shoe compartments and racks for the rest of the pairs in the front hall closet.

How do you keep your shoes organized?

Style'n had a great TIP for keeping your boots all lined up! Check it out here.

Here's my closet followed by some pretty stunning shoe closets, don't you think?  *SIGH*

(I love the two black and white images! So classic!)

Classic Red

What is it about a classic red lip that looks so glamorous?

Don't these lovely ladies make you feel like breaking out the RED?

I finally found my perfect shade.   It's Lorac's Matte Lipstick in "Receive".   I keep it in my purse just in case I'm going out and need to dress up a bit.

Do you have a perfect red?

Crochet

I regret getting rid of one of my crochet sweaters last year!

Oh fashion and it's cycles!  How cute is this crochet necklace?  Like a bib but so much more delicate and pretty!
