I really like what it says on the bangle – Be Extraordinary! You are already extraordinary but I want you to realize how special you are every time you look at this little motto. Inspiring! The Be Extraordinary Love Bangle ($60) is 14K gold over copper covered in yummy enamel of your choice from fuchsia, tangerine, or white.

Missoni FW 09
I’m happy to say that I’ve been cold in the morning lately, I’m loving this crisp, chilly air! One more reason for me to enjoy the season is that I can finally start layering… like a yummy layer cake, pile it on… ward off the cold in style! A cozy knit scarf is a great layering piece. Go for a long, chunky cable knit scarf such as this Braided Knit Scarf to not only keep you warm but to strut in fab style as well.

Love this versatile Portolano Cable-Knit Eternity Loop scarf! Drape over your neck & shoulder or wrap around your head like a hood. Brilliant!

If I could pick a new wardrobe for next season, it would easily be the Isabel Marant Spring 2010 collection. I absolutely adore the boho appeal with fringe suede boots, frilly tops & skirts. Each piece is versatile, wearable, and stylish. Love the micro minis/shorts, the legging pants, and chic accessories, the effortless style is what makes this collection so hot. The shoe collection is just as intoxicating from fringe, camouflage boots to sexy strappy sandals.

I looooove mixing highs with lows for that chic effortless look, like this plain ol’ white tee worn with a glistening sequin skirt. The days are long gone when tees are just for lounging at home or a quick grocery run. You’ll be surprised at how versatile basic shirts can be when you mix & match. Smart style won’t break the bank if you mix & match!
Some of you already own several white tees or you can even borrow your boyfriend’s… but I seriously dig this totally fab Aqua Cotton Boyfriend Tee… woohoo, I’m so sold on the perfect neckline and a front pocket! Yes, gotta have that pocket! Also keep it mind that you want the shirt to be a relaxed, loose fit.
Tuck in the shirt, and ladies… go short on the skirt but high on the heels. That’s the rule! Platform heels are a great choice here. Instead of layering heavy necklaces, go for a chunky watch or danglers… let the shirt be a shirt! Last but not least, wrap your hand around a beautifully textured beaded clutch… even better with the skull on it! Going into fall, throw on a biker jacket or a boyfriend blazer… super stylish!
