My Favorite Accessories (Lately)


Vest: J. Crew (Sold Out); Tissue Turtleneck: J. Crew, Pants: J. Crew; Boots: Hunter; Wallets: Kate Spade (Sold Out, Similar Here) & Tory Burch; Watch in both photos: Kate Spade; Nail polish: Sephora Formula X in Potent; Bracelet: J. Crew Factory; Cheetah Scarf: Express

 I know not all of the above are considered an "accessory" to some, but I think of an accessory as any item you add additionally to complete your look and make it pop! My J. Crew Herringbone Vest was definitely one of my best purchases of the season. I say that, but I didn't actually purchase it. When I thought it had sold out and I had called every store in our area, my boyfriend surprised me with it for our anniversary! Best gift ever. My lagoon Hunter Boots have been a fairly recent addition. I own Hunters in black as well but I really wanted a fun color and I actually could not pass these up when I found them at Nordstrom Rack for only $90.


My obsession with wallets has gotten out of control. The photo above only captures a small percentage of my collection. I especially adore Kate Spade Wallets. I just LOVE all of her products. They are so feminine, fun and I honestly feel like I could buy any design of hers and it would suit me and my style so well. The glittery wallet pictured here is my most recent addition and I'm loving it.

I consider well-polished nails to be an important accessory. I have talked before about how I used to get a professional manicure (the gel nails) every other week, but when the nail tech actually said to me that it wasn't very good for your nails and that mine were getting very thin, I decided to stop going. It saves me money to do my own manicures and I have more control! Obviously I have loved OPI and Essie for a long time, but I recently discovered how amazing Sephora's Formula X nail polish is. It just goes on so smoothly and it gives a really thick, gel-like appearance. It also dries much quicker then the other products!

I saved this final accessory for last because it is my most recent addition and I have been literally wanting this watch for YEARS! I finally broke down and bought it during a 15% off Loyalist sale at Bloomingdales. This Kate Spade watch is so classic and I will treasure it for a lifetime. How can you resist that pink spade?
