Tempest Necklace 2 Ways

Exciting news...The Fall 2012 Stella & Dot stuff is in! I perused the site and found some awesome pieces that are fun and can easily transition from summer to fall. As I was looking at all the new things I started picturing how I'd wear them and decided to share my thoughts with you all! These two looks feature the Tempest Necklace. The could be worn for a fun cocktail party or dinner/drinks with the girls. You could also wear this fun statement necklace during the day by dressing it down with comfy (but flattering) denim shorts and a flawy tank top...minimal makeup and you're good to go!

Expect more where this came from...I love styling one thing two ways! (thanks Polyvore for making it easier!)

Me vs. Everyone Else

So as soon as I mentioned to a few people that I was thinking of trading my car in for a prius I got a ton of reactions...almost all negative. "Really?!" "WTF" "You'll look like a band geek". They all clearly don't share the same vision as me...I'm picturing myself in a cute black prius with a sunroof, an iPod hookup, heated seats for winter...and wearing my go-to cute outfits...something just like below:

All of my friends clearly have a different vision in mind...something more like this:

Anyone else want to weigh in on the Prius?

DC Girls Trip!

So excited for my DC Girls Trip!  It's been way too long since we got together!
I promised them that I'd post a polyvore set of what I packed...but seeing as they are already packed and on their way...this is too late!
I figured I'd post it anyway because it reflects a new trend in my style...more simple, classic and laid back.  Ever since I did a major closet clean out I've gone back to basics...mainly jeans, t-shirts (and button downs) with fun statement jewelry (think fun chandelier earrings and stacked bracelets) to go along with my newly discovered "beachy waves".
  I'm hoping that we take some great pictures this weekend so you can have a better idea of what I'm talking about...as well as see how much we missed each other!
Below is a pic of the ladies I'll be seeing this weekend (all the ladies in blue and the blonde next to me hopefully)...the other lovies I'll be seeing later this summer and I can't wait!!!! XO

Currently loving these ikat Joe's jeans...may have to purchase these for summer. Also loving the chambray shirt.  I have one that I got last year and love how it can be dressed up with jewelry and accessories or dressed down with a baseball hat and lulu cropped pants (wore this last weekend and will post a pic).  Still obsessed with Stella & Dot jewelry...so many fun pieces and LOVING the layered look (a look I've been sporting a ton lately).  Happy Friday all!
