Style Diary: New Necklaces

Sometimes it’s the accessories that make the outfit.  And for those of us who want to update our look without breaking the bank, accessories are the way to go.  I recently bought a statement necklace at Forever 21 that I last wrote about and here I’ll share my other new necklace purchases.

I found this great fringe necklace at Bloomingdales during the friends and family sale.  I fell in love with it because it was the perfect mixture of classic (the pearls) and cool (the edgy chains).  It retailed for $86 but somehow I nearly stole it for $16 after finding it in the clearance bin.  Here, I’m pairing the necklace with fall’s trends.  I’ve got a faux LEATHER jacket (Forever 21), LACE vintage sheath dress, and MILITARY inspired tote bag (Aldo).  The boots are suede with a knit trim detail from Aquatalia ( I think I purchased it at off 5th?) The bracelet is from Express.

My 2nd Forever 21 jewelry pickup was this pretty piece also worn in this work wear post.

In the above pic, I’m wearing a Forever 21 jacket (which often gets mistaken for Chanel, hilarious I know), a striped tank tee from Target and navy skinny jeans from Forever 21.  The outfit costed a mere $45.  The Celine boots were free from my stylist friend at Bloomies and the Fendi tote, well, that wasn’t $45.  The ring was from off 5th, the headband -can’t remember and the necklace was Forever 21.  See, you don’t have to be 21 to wear Forever 21.

FabCam – NYC Fashion Week Part 2

Fashion Week is filled with fashionistas with fab personal style.  This FabCam round-up features fashionistas inside the tents.  If you’re one of the fashionistas featured here, please leave a comment leaving a little detail on what you wore, the look you were going for and a little about yourself!  I hope to hear from you all.  Also, if you would post a link of this blog entry into your FB or twitter I’d so appreciate it!

I loved this fashionista’s mix of masculine and feminine.  The outfit wouldn’t have been the same without the handsome hat.

With flower in hair, ruffles on shirt and killer nude heels, this fashionista works her best model scowl.

Shorts are in.  This girl shows how to dress them up.

Military goes upscale thanks to this lovely blonde inside the tents.

I love how this fashionista effortlessly pairs a lacy black cardi with her nude dress, combining a couple key trends.

I love pairing leather jackets with dresses.   This fashionista does it right by pairing a tight-fitting leather jacket (very on trend) with a cool modern strapless dress and great leather accessories.

This outfit would be perfect for work.  elegant dress, lady bag + statement necklace.  Love it!

This monochromatic look works because of the variation in texture and luxe accessories.  Kudos to this fashionista for being both glamorous and age-appropriate.

Only a model could get away with such a short, choppy boy’s hairdo.  It was the dress though that really caught my eye – so much so that I didn’t even notice that I was photographing the famous Veronica Webb until after I shot her!

Stay tuned for more FabCam updates through the rest of the week!
