Rings With Style

So recently I discovered an online auction site called invaluable.com and came across their fantastic selection of rings. After scrolling for a bit through simple bands to antique art deco statement rings I came across a stunner. You can filter to stone, metal, and style to better determine what you might be looking for. Naturally having expensive taste (but not the $$ to support it), and being a September baby I’m drawn to sapphires and found this awesome geometric one with a diamond as an accent piece. I love the simplicity of the style as well as the fact that the sapphire is a triangle cut. Which is not your average setting.

I envision this ring in a classic edgy style like Olivia Palmero, with belted hi-waisted flannel pants, crisp white button down and a classic jacket. Now it can go either way classy or casual, so I gave you tow options on shoes. And being that I live in NYC you know it goes both ways. Maybe you’re out for an interview or on a girl’s night out. The ring transitions beautifully with either and becomes the focal point of the outfit with the pop of color from the sapphire. The grays are a pseudo neutral and let the ring do all your talking. I also loved the shape as I have a similar setting and love that it’s a conversation starter.

So the next time you’re struggling with where to get that “guuurl, where did you get that ring?” head over to invaluable.com and scoop up a one of a kind item.

Brunch at Oxford kitchen

So yesterday the BF and I went down to Atlantic term for some errands and decided to grab a bite to eat.  I've walked past this place and have made a mental note to check it out.  Oxford Kitchen is located at the crazy 5 way where Fulton, Lafayette, Hansen Pl and another street all meet up.  So in we went (me being sold on chicken and waffles...) and grabbed a table.  There was only one server who seemed indifferent about creating engagement due to being out all night. However the mimosas were B1G1 along with bloody marys or even a cucumber Bellini. We opted for mimosas, the BF ordered a prosciutto and egg sandwich and I the chicken a pumpkin and sage waffles. His was more like an open face ham and egg and my chicken was like breaded chicken strips.  The home fries were WELL seasoned and had some heat, it seemed to be the same seasoning that was used on my chicken.  The waffles were served with a maple butter and maple syrup. Initially there was no coffee, but half way through the waiter came by and asked if we wanted a cup.  It was delish (maybe its because i had nasty soy creamer that morning) and we spoke on things that couple do.  If your around stop in and check it out, overall 3 out of 5 forks.

Form or Function?

Well NYC fall/winter is here.  That means it's time to retire the lightweight jackets and capris and move into warmer clothes like sweaters and jackets.  Now here is a dilemma, do you wear a cute jacket that provides no protection against the elements or a bulky jacket that is designed for subzero temps?  Me personally, I'm all about the North Face.  I hate being cold and this is the best thing I've ever bought in my 10+ years in NY.  Whats your take on this?

Career advice from IMAN?

So leave it to Rachael Zoe to do a women in fashion series, which I love.  These are women that I admire and wish to emulate and try to incorporate their advice into my life.  The recent one is with Iman, and she was the first black super model and married to David Bowie, and I think she is a classic beauty.  In the Q&A she speaks that women should network, as we love to lift up other women.  As far as fashion goes she wants women to maintain their femininity and not hide in men's clothes.  Want to know more?  Click the link to read the full Q&A.  What is your take away?

Noëlz Designer Resale

So while working in DUMBO the other week i came across a great little shop located at  145 front st. Its called Noelz closet and he specializes in designer resale.  Its a consignment shop and its all about luxury brands.  There are the Christian Louboutin shoes, Prada bags, and of course possibly some of my jewelry will be featured.  The shop is located towards the back of the building and he is opening a space next to him that will do customer printed shirts (of course I have some ideas on shirts that I want).  Everything within the shop is in pristine condition and displayed in a simple presentation (so not as to distract from the awesomeness that he is selling).  So when your in the area stop in and tell him Jessica sent you.  Have designer goods you want to sell?  Call the shop at 917-624-5043 this man knows what hes dealing with and is on point.

Robin Hoods Stylish Headscarves

So today while strolling through the web I came across this company that makes headscarves for women who are going through cancer or have serious hair loss.  I was moved as I personally know of women who are battling cancer and might need these.  The premise of the company is this "Tracey founded Robin Hoods upon her belief that no woman should be deprived of her self-confidence, dignity, and natural beauty as a result of hair hardship. Pairing the highest quality materials and thoughtful design, she created a product that appeals to women of all ages and style sensibilities, and makes the wearer look- and subsequently feel- better."
WOW!  What a great idea and cause. As any female will tell you our hair is a major factor in our identity and self confidence when that is gone we struggle.  So share this if you know someone fighting cancer or might be interested.

Fashion Mavens

So I've been thinking about the women who drive my personal style and the I would love to emulate.  many women come to mind naturally first is my mother who always encouraged me to wear what I wanted (and I'm sure there were times that she regretted that lol), my aunt Theresa who is the embodiment of bohemian chic, my grandmother on my stepdads side who was casual chic, and im sure I can continue.  As I got older of course my tastes changed and I wen through various phases.  As a adult there are three women that I love their style and they drive me to want to dress better.  Iris Apfel who in her golden years is designing jewelry, doing various collaborations and has a bohemian uptown aesthetic.  Of course Daphne Guinness who takes extreme risks and is the embodiment of haute couture.  And last but not least a friend of mine Keda whose street style effortless blends hightops with thick gold chains to heels and snapbacks.  As a female we go through so many incarnations in style and all of these women have helped shaped my style sense over the years.  So to all the people that have shaped and continue to help my style evolve thanks!

Understanding my addiction

Here's some photos of my one closet that I keep my accessories in.  I used a clear shoe holder for my bracelets and necklaces. The clear pouches make it easy to find items. I always speak of how accessories are fun easy ways to try trends and experiment.  My fave place is Barami for trendy and fun pieces.  However today i went into Laila Rowe and picked up a cute wallet.  Of course once I tire of something and it's still like new (or gasp! Never worn!) it will make it's way to my poshmark closet. So look me up bkblueagave 

3-D shoes?

So if you follow technology you know that they can make 3-d items such as guns, hammers, and now shoes.  These shoes are a bit different in that they have a holster for your iphone. Wicked! they were shown at Milan fashion week.  Check out the link for more photos.

New wrist swag

So yesterday I got my awesome new bracelet courtesy of E.Kammeyer.com.  I ordered the blush as I wanted to start with some neutrals first.  I have been obessing about owing one of these since I had the pleasure of meeting her in person at a Poshmark event in NYC.  I actually ordered mine via Poshmark (bkblueagave is my closet name) and I got it two days later.  Not only is it super cute and different but it came in a cure burlap sack with a wonderful handwritten thank you!  So if your looking for some wrist swag that's not your average item click over to her site and see what she has to offer.  Stylist Liz Teitch has also featured her items on her blog!
