Hello Emerald Darling!

I think I am in love and it is not even Valentines day yet! Its with Emerald, the color of the year for 2013! This color is truly a gem, no I mean literally a gem :) It is such a must color to try this season and not only with your jewels. I love to wear neutral tones and Emerald will bring some luxury to my closet this season. You must try it, even if you only add a touch to your ensemble. Emerald is bright enough to make everyone notice.

The Golden Touch

I am always looking for ideas on how to update my go to looks. If your running errands or grabbing coffee don't just pull your hair in a quick pony and dash for the door. Stop please!
Your everyday look does not have to be the same old thing... here are a few items I am loving for Spring. A floppy hat and a touch of gold. I have to admit I think Vogue definitely got this trend right. The floppy hat is such a effortless everyday casual look.

One, Two, Three! Ok one more!

Watches, cuffs, wrapped leather, bangles oh my! If you love jewelry as much as I do, you are probably seeing this trend everywhere. Stacked bracelets. I think this trend is a must because you can really put a glam look together with a few bracelets you probably already have. So check your jewel box and stack them high!

Good Morning...Sunday!

Sunday is here and it is time to celebrate one of my favorite times of the week... Sunday morning. Relax because you have the whole day to start marking off that checklist. So embellish part of your morning! I start off with my morning treat which is always my cappuccino, yum! Treat yourself to at least one delight today but of course it is the weekend which could lead to several :)

Treat yourself to a morning latte or coffee, Delizioso! 

A chic coffee cup and sleeve are the perfect embellishments if your on the go. I love this Jimmy Choo sleeve.

The Start of 2013

Its a new year, a new month, and a new opportunity to start all of the things we never did last year but swore we would do! I always like to make a list of goals I want to accomplish in the next year and my goal this year was to start a blog. So here we go...what's a girl got to lose :) I hope you enjoy style as much as I do because this year will be all about adding a touch of chic to your everyday life. Don't give up on your goals this year, start today on embellishing your life! It's all about the simple things that make our everyday so much more special. I hope I can provide some inspiration along the way!

XO Ciao
