This season I invested in a series of cream and neutral garments of varying textures- they all layer very well together.

Zara Blazer (frugal suggested); Zara Top (frugal similar); Chanel Necklace; Zara Skirt (similar); Max Azria Booties; Alexander Wang Bag (wallet version)

Over the weekend I stopped into Last Call just in time for them to receive a huge shipment of Lanvin! I tried on shoes and jewelry from the case and after a long internal debate, ended up with this Lanvin Necklace- my first!

Mine was heavily discounted (to about $270) and I walked away with the only one; however, Nordstrom still has it online incase you are not a scavenger/honey badger, like myself.

Bauble Bar Thread Earrings; Gold, Silver, $38

Bauble Bar has unique, mid-priced thrill items- the kind of things you buy on a whim or gift. I am not a big earring girl, but I love these ear threads- they are clean and chic and a great birthday gift.

This is one of the few direct-from-the-runways looks that is realistic for a real girl. The price is not too bad for a runway look (about $500 for both pieces) but both the Marc by Marc Jacobs top and skirt can be worn separately to create other looks.

Wear the top with a white shorts suit and let the peplum hang out. Wear an easy white tee with the skirt for a more casual look.

Two incredibly talented bloggers, Alaina Kaczmarski and Danielle Moss, recently teamed up to launch The Everygirl. Today I am excited to be one of the first women to be featured on the site.

This look goes from work to cocktails to the Mavs game; it is perfect for travel because it is venue-agnostic, chic for all occasions.

The reason it works: mixing textures. My cotton trench dress (thanks, Mom) is a nice contrast to the snakeskin booties and patent bag. This theory works in your wardrobe and in your home- just remember, texture.

BCBG Trench Dress (suggested similar); Maison Martin Margiela Booties (similar on SALE); Givenchy Nightingale Bag

DVF Gold Leaf Coasters, $40

DVF Gold Place Setting, $80

Do you remember when Kourtney Kardashian wore a gold leaf headband to a fashion show last year? I liked the headband (not so much her in it).

This year, during NYFW, my friend, Karen, shot the most etherial photo backstage at the Rodarte show: a porcelain model wearing a starry hair clip

I think they say it takes seeing something two-three times before you act on it and Rodarte was the last straw- I invested in a grecian adornment of my own.
