Dalla Nonna Calendar Necklaces

I recently came across a really unique jewelry line (which happens to be based in Chicago!) that’s known for these special calendar necklaces. They come in silver, rose gold, white gold and yellow gold with a variety of stones that can be placed on a meaningful date. Whether it’s an anniversary, birthday or any other special occasion, I think these necklaces make THE perfect gift.

If you’re not a necklace person, these also come in wrap bracelets that can be made with or without extra charms. How can you not love these?!

So guys, if you’re looking for a great gift for your girl this Valentine’s Day or girls, if you just want to do him a favor and get yourself something nice with his credit card…then check out the Dalla Nonna website. I promise you won’t be disappointed!

The Colorful World of a PS1

If there is one bag you should invest in, it’s the Proenza Schouler PS1. Hands down. [Not just because I eat sleep breathe Jack and Lazaro] but it’s the best carryall, made with the most amazing quality materials…and it just looks awesome. In my eyes, nothing can beat this PS1 but with so many shapes, fabrics and sizes…you’re bound to find one you love.

Now PS1s aren’t just bags anymore…they’re wallets, totes, pouches  etc. Exciting, right?! Check it out…

Best Shoes of Spring 2012

As per request of a stylish male friend of mine (and partially due to my serious obsession with shoes), I thought I’d put together a list of the absolute best shoes from Spring 2012. Sadly we won’t be able to wear these in Chicago for quite some time (if they get made into production of course) but the least we can do for now is admire them.

With the Fall ’12 collections coming up next month, I’m looking forward to even more fabulous heels to swoon over.

Printed Tights: The Ultimate Winter Accessory

Although I hate my legs, I always dread wearing tights in the winter because they seem to drag down an outfit. But of course since it’s freezing, I suck it up and do it anyway. Thankfully the hosiery companies (and even those who don’t specialize in legwear) have taken it upon themselves to make tights COOL and turn them into the ultimate winter accessory.

Just like a statement necklace can really jazz up a simple black dress, printed tights can do just the same (but it  doesn’t hurt to do both, right?) With that said, I’ve scoured the internet to find my favorite tights available this season. So there’s no excuse to go bare legged when it’s 10 degrees (which happens to be one of my biggest pet peeves by the way…)
