Lately, I've been obsessed with <a href="http://www.julep.com/rewardsref/index/refer/id/604307/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Julep</a>, a monthly nail polish subscription service! I was excited to receive my May 2014 box in the mail today, so I'll be reviewing this month's box.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><u>What's Julep?</u></b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Before I get into the review for the May 2014 box, here's a quick intro to <a href="http://www.julep.com/rewardsref/index/refer/id/604307/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Julep</a>, in case some of you haven't heard of this it yet:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For $19.99 per month, you get $40+ worth of nail polish and beauty products mailed to you each month. The products always come in a pretty box. Part of the fun (and one of the reasons beauty subscription boxes are so successful) comes from the anticipation of getting a package each month...it's like unwrapping a birthday present every month.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
To start, you take a short, fun style quiz to get sorted into one of 5 style profiles: It Girl, Classic with a Twist, Bombshell, Boho Glam, and Modern Beauty. Each month, you'll receive at least 2 nail polishes + 1 full-size beauty product (or 3 nail polishes if you choose "It Girl"). You also start out with a free welcome box (with the same amount of product as the usual monthly boxes)... keep reading to find out how. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.julep.com/rewardsref/index/refer/id/604307/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><img alt="Julep" border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-g3kSrz6m3So/U2xuxbJp9vI/AAAAAAAAARY/dzIrJhcYoZQ/s1600/julepintro.jpg" title="Julep" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You can preview what's in your box during the Monthly Maven Reveal on the 20th-24th of each month. Don't like what's in the box for your style profile? You can swap items in and out of your box for free with their newly updated program terms, or you can also switch to another style profile at any time. Boxes ship on the 1st of each month. If you don't need / want new nail polish every single month, you can also send a box to a friend for the month --- they make for great birthday gifts! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In terms of quality, the polishes are typically high quality and currently retail for $14 each at Sephora, so the monthly box is typically a good value. I've been a member for 3 months, and I've been really happy with the program thus far. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Lastly, if you're thinking of trying it out, you can actually <b><a href="http://www.julep.com/rewardsref/index/refer/id/604307/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">get a free welcome box </a></b>(with $40 worth of product) through this link: <a href="http://www.julep.com/rewardsref/index/refer/id/604307/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>Get Your Free Julep Box.</b></a> </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Just use the code <b>FREEBOX</b>!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><u>May 2014 Julep Maven Review - Boho Glam</u></b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Although my original style profile was "Classic with a Twist," I switched to the "Boho Glam" box this month, since I couldn't resist one of the colors in that one --- namely, Paulette, a golden lilac tulle shimmer.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here's a pic of all the May colors (includes all colors from all 5 of the style profile types). The name of the May collection is the appropriately summery "Fresh Twist." </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZfUXMMi6xs8/U2xTc3-YP-I/AAAAAAAAAPc/QALhR4xN9s4/s1600/May_Insert-1024x744.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZfUXMMi6xs8/U2xTc3-YP-I/AAAAAAAAAPc/QALhR4xN9s4/s1600/May_Insert-1024x744.jpg" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here's what I ordered for my box:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-53EmvLMAVAU/U2xUYeWUV9I/AAAAAAAAAPk/FZgI3zB1At0/s1600/May-Maven-BohoGlam.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-53EmvLMAVAU/U2xUYeWUV9I/AAAAAAAAAPk/FZgI3zB1At0/s1600/May-Maven-BohoGlam.jpg" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The products are:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><b>Jeanne:</b> Jet-set blue creme</li>
<li><b>Paulette:</b> Golden lilac tulle shimmer</li>
<li><b>Julep <span style="line-height: 24.479999542236328px;">Plié </span>Wand</b></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This month, all mavens receive <span style="font-family: inherit;">a <b><span style="line-height: 24.479999542236328px;">Plié Wan<span style="color: #55565a;">d</span></span> </b>(pronounced plee-AY, like the ballet term "to bend") in t</span>heir box. This is actually the item I was most excited about.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The <span style="line-height: 24.479999542236328px;">Plié </span>Wand is a new, innovative nail polish tool created by Julep --- designed to <b>make polishing easier....especially with your non-dominant hand. </b>It's designed to let you grip it like a pen (when in use by your dominant hand) or in a comfortably bent shape (when in use by your non-dominant hand) and fits on every Julep polish (both old and new). </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I can't even count how many times I've made a mess when trying to apply nail polish with my left hand (being right-handed)... this invention is pure genius. In fact, I can't believe no one else had thought to create something like this before.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IpELcr6jstk/U2xXjgtAqlI/AAAAAAAAAP4/c8gSJEG2ZT4/s1600/pliewand.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IpELcr6jstk/U2xXjgtAqlI/AAAAAAAAAP4/c8gSJEG2ZT4/s1600/pliewand.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
This month, since I had some extra Points (you earn reward points for each month you remain active as a member), I also ordered a free Add-On Item:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><b>Saaya:</b> Golden apricot shimmer</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xVejweGneDE/U2xhobTa0bI/AAAAAAAAAQI/Gwp9r_PWItk/s1600/saaya.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xVejweGneDE/U2xhobTa0bI/AAAAAAAAAQI/Gwp9r_PWItk/s1600/saaya.jpg" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It's perfect for summer! </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Here's what the inside of my May 2014 Julep box looked like when it arrived:</div>
<div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
Julep also threw in an extra attachable brush for the plie wand, which was a nice addition.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I was happy to see that the nail polish colors looked just as expected in person, as color depiction can often vary from one computer screen to another (or in the case of some retailers, due to image editing, professional lighting, etc.). </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm wearing "Paulette" here - shown with no topcoat, so you can see how shiny the color is on its own. I also needed only one coat, and the formula was nicely opaque and smooth when applied. I love it! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Lastly, apologies for the absence of posts recently - a demanding new job had taken over my life for the past few months, and I'm just now getting to slow down a bit and breathe. I have some more personal style posts in mind for the next few weeks, along with a new series of beauty product reviews. 'Til next time, and thanks again for reading! </div>

I've been wearing this casual burgundy dress paired with this jacket fairly often lately, whenever I want to be comfortable while still looking somewhat put together. What I love most about this dress is that it's a stretchy, cotton material...which means lots of room for eating! I've definitely been doing a lot of eating recently, especially with Chinese New Year this past weekend.</div>

I also decided to ring in the start of a new lunar year with a new hair color. It's been awhile since I last changed my hair, so I figured it was time to make a change and avoid a style rut! </div>

I wore this outfit to work this week and got several compliments on this vintage, plaid wool skirt - though I actually can't claim any credit for it. The original owner of the skirt is my mom! As you know, I'm a big fan of <a href="http://shamelesslyoverdressed.blogspot.com/2012/09/something-borrowed-floral-silk-blouse.html" target="_blank">borrowing from Mom's closet</a>. Over the holidays, I had this skirt tailored to fit my size, and I've been wearing it nonstop since. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When it comes to dressing for the office in the winter, I've found that layering is key. Between the chilly San Francisco winds and frigid office A/C, my fail-proof work uniform usually consists of the following: a wool sweater layered over a silk dress shirt, blazer, pencil skirt, tights, and black pumps. At work, I tend to keep my accessories simple and on the conservative side. Arm parties unfortunately don't work for me at the office, since I've found that a stack of bangles can often hinder typing (not to mention clank loudly and embarrassingly during meetings). A single necklace or bracelet usually pulls together an outfit, while keeping it professional. </div>

Holiday party season is naturally one of my favorite times of the year. After all, it gives us even more reason to dress up...and dress up often! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Although it's easy to stick to wearing either a little black dress or traditional holiday colors like red or green, I like mixing it up from time to time with unconventional colors and prints. I can't get enough of <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=667609&b=385642&m=40668&afftrack=&urllink=www%2Echicnova%2Ecom%2Fpleat%2Dsilk%2Dprint%2Ddress%2Dwith%2Dhalter%2Dneck%2Ehtml" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this tiger print dress</a> from <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=385642&u=667609&m=40668&urllink=&afftrack=" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Chicnova</a>, which I foresee getting a lot of wear in both winter and summer.

I’m a big believer in this one fact –</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Every girl needs <b><u>an Emergency Dress</u></b>.</span> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
You know,<b> that dress you keep in your bag / office desk drawer / glove
compartment of your car</b>. The one that you pull out and <b>do a quick-change into when an
unexpected occasion arises </b>while you're out and about. After all, you never know when you need to
dress up.<br />
<br />
A readily accessible Emergency Dress has saved the day for me on numerous occasions.<br />
<br />
Here are the primary <span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>4 scenarios when the use of an Emergency Dress is in order</i></b>:</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b><u>From Office -> Happy Hour or Dinner Date</u></b><br /><br />Imagine you're at your desk at work. It's around 6 pm and you suddenly receive a last minute invitation to after-work drinks or dinner. Unfortunately, there's no time to run home and change into a dress, and you don't feel like showing up to a social event in office attire. <br /><br />Enter the Emergency Dress that you fortunately keep in your desk drawer at work...and you're no longer stuck being the girl wearing a suit or dress shirt to a social event (or worse - having to turn down an invitation because you aren't properly dressed for a certain venue). In my opinion, this is by far the most common use case for an Emergency Dress. I can't even begin to count the times I've gone straight from work to drinks or a nice dinner on short notice...during which an Emergency Dress (kept inside my office desk) has saved the day for me on numerous occasions. <br /><br /></li>
<li><b><u>From Airport -> Party</u></b><br /><br />You're currently on a plane, and you're about to go straight from the airport to a party you can't miss (let's say a friend's birthday), immediately upon landing at your destination. The problem is that you don't want to wear a cocktail dress on the plane (who wants to brave a 5-10 hour flight in stiff tulle or lace?), yet you don't want to show up at a fancy event looking and feeling frumpy in your travel clothes. My typical strategy for scenarios like this is to keep a wrinkle-free Emergency Dress in my carry-on bag and then do a quick-change in the plane's lavatory shortly before landing.<br /><br /></li>
<li><b><u>From Daytime Event -> Nighttime Event</u></b><br /><br />Let's say your Saturday plans consist of a going to a BBQ / tailgate party, followed by an evening event that requires dressing up (for instance, a fancy dinner or a night at the ballet) and with no time and place to change in between. In situations like these, I sometimes resort to changing into my Emergency Dress in the backseat of my car while parked in a secluded area, no joke. Hey, a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.<br /><br /></li>
<li><u style="font-weight: bold;">For Emergency Wardrobe Malfunctions</u><br /><br />There's nothing worse than having a wardrobe malfunction occur in a very public setting (whether it's having red wine spilled on your white dress at a party or discovering a rip in your seam). It never hurts to have an Emergency Dress somewhere easily accessible (ex: in your car, parked outside) in cases where you desperately need something to change into.<br /><br /></li>
</ul>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div>
Ok, so we've just gone over <i>when</i> and <i>why </i>you need an Emergency Dress. Let's quickly recap <b><i><span style="font-size: large;">where you should keep yours:</span></i></b> </div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>In your desk drawer at work</li>
<li>In the glove compartment or trunk of your car</li>
<li>In your travel bag</li>
<li>In your purse</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
You can see in the photo above that my Emergency Dress (when folded) is compact enough to fit inside my purse. This brings me to my next topic, which is...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>What to look for in an Emergency Dress:</i></b> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
An Emergency Dress should be:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><u style="font-weight: bold;">Wrinkle-Resistant<br /></u><br />This is absolutely key. It's going to get stuffed into a bag or tossed into a drawer and needs to be made from fabric that doesn't wrinkle easily. When looking for an Emergency Dress, <b>avoid 100% cotton or linen and stick with man-made or blended fabrics</b>. Also be sure to avoid sequins, as they'll fall off after being shoved in various place. When in doubt, <b>you can always do what I call the "Scrunch Test"</b> - simply take a fistful of fabric and scrunch by clenching your fist. If the fabric smooths out afterwards with minimal wrinkles, then it may qualify for your Emergency Dress.<br /><br /></li>
<li><u style="font-weight: bold;">Compact</u><br /><br /><b>It needs to fit in your purse, desk drawer, or glove compartment when folded</b>. If you can't carry it around easily, then you won't be able to access it during emergencies.<br /><br /></li>
<li><u style="font-weight: bold;">Basic</u><br /><br />Pick a dress in preferably a solid color or one that doesn't jump out at being particularly unique. This allows for more flexibility, and you can change up the look with different shoes, bags, and accessories. It should also fit in equally at a nice dinner with your boyfriend's parents and be passable at a lounge with friends, so don't pick anything too extravagant or revealing for maximum versatility. You don’t want to be remembered as the girl that's always wearing the same dress, so <b>be sure that your Emergency Dress is a versatile basic. </b></li>
</ul>
</div>
<br />
<br /></div>

Some of you might remember this skirt from a previous outfit I had posted... I've remixed it here with layered, preppy pieces and bright candy colors. Surprisingly, this yellow skirt has become one of my most versatile pieces. Believe it or not, yellow really can go with everything. You'll most likely be seeing more of this skirt in the future! </div>

Last night, I wore this outfit during a casual dinner and library date with my boyfriend, J. What's special to me about this outfit is where everything came from. I acquired various pieces of this outfit during several different trips - <a href="http://www.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=368095386&pid=uid4569-4316837-57&utm_medium=widget&utm_source=Product+Widget" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this pleated, boucle Topshop skirt</a> from my recent trip to London, the ring and chiffon blouse with studded collar from a business trip to Germany, and my shoes from a trip to Taiwan with Mom a few years back. I also got <a href="http://www.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=327674207&pid=uid4569-4316837-57&utm_medium=widget&utm_source=Product+Widget" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">my beloved Michael Kors 'Karolina' sunglasses</a> during a trip to New York last year. Wearing this globally acquired outfit makes me happy because it brings back wonderful memories from each trip!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've layered a black blazer with white trim over the chiffon blouse and added a braided silver bib necklace to further play up the stud details on the collar. I can never resist adding a pop of color, so I'm also carrying my teal envelope clutch.</div>

One thing I can't get enough of lately is mixing prints. Since two of my favorite prints include leopard print and stripes, I'm loving this <a href="http://www.oasap.com/necklaces/16883-leopard-skin-print-fan-shaped-pendant-necklace.html/?fuid=33394" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">leopard print statement necklace</a> from Oasap when paired with a striped tank, as seen in this casual outfit I wore this past weekend (or casual to me, at least!) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Prints aren't the only thing I'm mixing in this outfit, as I've also thrown together a variety of styles - laid back casuals with bold jewelry (such as <a href="http://www.oasap.com/rings/4017-retro-chic-black-onyx-ring.html/?fuid=33394" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this black onyx ring</a>)...a faux leather moto jacket with a girly skirt...and preppy pieces in the form of these <a href="http://www.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=363688699&pid=uid4569-4316837-57&utm_medium=widget&utm_source=Product+Widget" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">pumps</a> and the <a href="http://www.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=240746859&pid=uid4569-4316837-57&utm_medium=widget&utm_source=Product+Widget" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">J. Crew 'Edie' Purse</a>). With all these different prints and styles, does this outfit match? Maybe, maybe not... but, in my opinion, as long as you're having fun and rock whatever you're wearing with confidence, there really aren't any fashion rules that can't be broken. After all, the point of dressing up is to have fun, right? ;)</div>

I'd like to thank <a href="http://www.sugarlips.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sugarlips</a> for sending me this gorgeous red dress. I love the way it's so demure and ladylike from the front yet surprises with killer cutouts in the back. It's definitely guaranteed to make an impression even when leaving a party.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also love that Sugarlips describes the Sugar girl as "the girlie girl with just a hint of edge," as this is one of the ways I'd like to describe my personal style. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've paired the 'Fiery Gates' dress with black ankle boots, an oversized envelope clutch, my favorite black, studded wrap watch, and black & gold accessories. Since the front of the dress is simple and classic, I chose to pair it with edgier accessories (like <a href="http://www.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=362982276&pid=uid4569-4316837-57&utm_medium=widget&utm_source=Product+Link" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this necklace</a> and <a href="http://www.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=344658794&pid=uid4569-4316837-57&utm_medium=widget&utm_source=Product+Widget" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this bracelet</a>) for contrast. In my opinion, one of the easiest ways to put together a modern outfit is to pair together unexpected opposites. You also can't ever go wrong with an oversized envelope clutch - I'm also loving these other styles <i><a href="http://www.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=363748411&pid=uid4569-4316837-57&utm_medium=widget&utm_source=Product+Widget" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a>, <a href="http://www.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=329352145&pid=uid4569-4316837-57&utm_medium=widget&utm_source=Product+Widget" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a>, and <a href="http://www.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=362642703&pid=uid4569-4316837-57&utm_medium=widget&utm_source=Product+Link" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a></i>. </div>

I'm channeling my inner 5-year-old ballerina today with this sequined heart top and layered mesh skirt. As a former dancer who spent over 15 years of her life performing as a member of various ballet, hip hop, jazz, and contemporary dance teams, I love how the black tulle reminds me of a grown-up version of a tutu. I've since retired from performing (at least, for now - a sad byproduct of the demands of corporate life), but my inner ballerina still comes out from time to time in my sartorial choices! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To keep the look from being too 'little girl,' I've toughened up the outfit with some edgier accessories - a black crown necklace I bought at a night market in Taiwan, black ankle boots, studded bag and wrap watch, and a geometric, black bracelet. Ankle boots are always an easy way to add some edge to any outfit. ...In general, I love pairing them with unexpectedly girly pieces.</div>

I'm back from my London trip and back to blogging. What a wonderful city London is! One thing I fell in love with while in London is British fashion. I found fashion inspiration everywhere...from chic high street stores at Oxford Circus to stylishly dressed Londoners in the Underground (or "Tube" as they call it). I also love how there's so much culture and history everywhere you turn. The week I spent there felt incredibly short, and I can't wait to go back again. You'll definitely be seeing some British-inspired looks on this blog in the future. </div>

For this outfit, I'm wearing only 3 main colors: red, white, and black. I've kept my accessories fairly simple with a wide, silver bangle and silver clutch. In particular, I love the asymmetrical zipper of this red jacket. I wore this outfit during a casual weekend shopping date. While shopping lately, I've been on the hunt for a classic trench coat, nude patent pumps, and the perfect red bag. What's on your shopping list? </div>

It's finally Friday! I'll be on a plane to London today, as I'll be spending 5 days there for a work conference. In addition to preparing for my conference presentation, I've been working on my itinerary for sightseeing, food, and shopping. Since this will be my first time in the UK, I'm hoping to visit a lot of the famous sites. Thus far, I'm most excited about visiting the Tower of London (home of the crown jewels and site of many beheadings), Hampton Court Palace (where Henry VIII resided with several of his 6 wives), and snapping a photo at Platform 9 and 3/4 (I'm a huge fan of Harry Potter). I've also been reading a lot of British historical fiction to get excited for London (favorites include The Other Boleyn Girl and anything by Philippa Gregory). In terms of shopping, I'm particularly excited to visit the famous Harrod's and the Topshop flagship store. </div>

To channel the rich burgundy pieces and gothic-inspired looks gracing the runways, I'm wearing a burgundy blazer, lace top, and a studded wrap watch I bought during a recent trip to Germany. I've paired these trendy, edgier pieces with some of my favorite classics: a preppy pleated skirt, gray, buttoned peep toe pumps, and my favorite Chanel 2.55 bag.</div>

I borrowed this pretty silk blouse and these gold necklaces from my mom's closet during a weekend trip back to visit my family in Texas last month. For a casual weekend outfit, I've paired them with a flouncy black skirt, gold heels, my favorite Chanel 2.55 classic flap purse (a semi-recent splurge from earlier this year), a ring I bought during my recent trip to Germany, and matching bangle bracelets. </div>

Hi, Everyone! I'm finally back in the San Francisco Bay Area after a lovely trip to Germany and Amsterdam. Europe was fun, but it's also great to finally be home after almost 2 weeks of packed itineraries and non-stop traveling. Since my return, I've been busy catching up: on sleep, with friends, and (of course) on blogging! </div>

I'm loving the structured, somewhat futuristic-looking shoulders on this jacket. It somehow manages to be soft and comfy, while still looking a bit polished. I've been throwing it on over everything lately.</div>

For today's style post, I'd like to thank Anna and the <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?B=391207&U=667609&M=41048&urllink=" style="background-color: white;" target="_blank">JEWELIQ</a> team for the necklace I'm wearing here. Lately, I've been pairing the 'Leafy' necklace with <a href="http://www.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=333505074&pid=uid4569-4316837-57&utm_medium=widget&utm_source=Product+Widget" target="_blank">my favorite pink Kate Spade bag</a> and Aldo pumps, and I love the pop of color it brings to any outfit!</div>
