Time for Tortoise

Fall is here, friends. And while in my life as new non-Florida resident has brought on a little "winter anticipation anxiety", I'm definitely trying to slow down and enjoy the short fall like a true Chicago gal. One fall fashion trend I am all jazzed about is tortoise shell jewelry. I bought a pair of $9 snazzy tortoise shell earrings from H&M that reminded me of just how fab tortoise shell is. Last night, I wore a tortoise shell necklace similar to the one here on the bottom right with a black and white striped long sweater. Unexpected but oh..so fall!

Vintage - Voila!

I'm ever so in la la love with this vintage ring I purchase for $5 at Judy's Antiques. I love the unique hue of burnt orange meets brown. Plus, who doesn't love stones of this size on their ring finger? 

Gems from Judy's

There is nothing I love more than a good, solid fashion bargain buy. I have posted about Judy before but let me reitterate why I'm such a raging Judy fan. Judy's Antiques in Fort Myers is a totally hidden gem. The small, quaint shop is a great place to find treasures such as silver teapots, broaches, etc. However, when I venture in, I'm looking for vintage jewelry. I left the store with 2 necklaces ($1 each), a ring ($5) and a set of major blingy earrings ($5). These are pieces you couldn't find in some trendy boutique - they have a little character to them. Walking out with all of these goodies for $12 was just too exciting to not share!

(Cat) Mother Must

I'm not a "crazy cat lady" (if you don't agree, bite your tongue) but I do love my fury feline. So, naturally when I saw her name as a ring, I got a little giddy. Every (cat) mother needs one. Find it on www.urbanoutfitters.com.

Black Magic

Every girl's go-to is black and there is nothing wrong with that...especially if you have a feather peplum top, you skirt's leather and your pumps have giant rhinestones. I need everything above...like, need...not want. Need. Wearing black head to toe is totally fine...just make sure to bring a little color in with your accessories. Top, skirt, heels, ring, earrings, clutch. 

Baby, It's Getting Cold Outside

The degrees may be dropping, but my hem is rising. Everyone wants an excuse to wear some sassy ankle boots, right? Make this outfit realistic in the fall and winter with tights. To make these earrings noticeable, try a sock bun. Want a more Kardashian look? Rock that middle part with loose curls. It makes sense because this is a very Kourtney Kardashian look.

Glitz & Glam

Glitz and glamour are perfect for the fall when it comes to accessories. Chunky and blingy statement jewelry is the perfect solution for spicing up your everyday wardrobe. 1. Blue and Green Stone Necklace 2. Black and Nude Earrings 3. Gold Collar Necklace 4. Stone Ring 5. Multiple Stone Ring 6. Cuff
