Shop My Closet

23 May

As you probably know by now, I’m moving to Hawaii. But the countdown is on, t-11 days! My closet is overflowing and sadly I’ll be downsizing in closet space. I have listed a few items on Poshmark at a variety of prices: a H&M blouse to a genuine leather skirt. Most items are either never worn or worn once. So join and check my closet out!

If you join using the code HKXEX you also can get a $5 coupon. Happy shopping!

Comfort to the Extreme

20 May

I haven’t figured out whether it’s due to my impending move to island life, or the fact that I’ve been battling health issues recently but I have been LIVING in oversized pants. I found this pair from Anthropologie and immediately purchased the blue pair. A week after receiving them I went back and promptly purchased the pink pair!

I went for the petite size as I wanted them cropped and they’re the perfect length for this 5’4″ girl. They’ve been so easy to throw on over the weekend with a denim jacket and yet I can dress them up with a white blazer just as easily. I see them being the perfect post-beach pair as well!

I love the bold print and these are a bit pricier for a not-so-often wear. I’ve also picked up a few pairs from Zara in a basic black trouser fabric or H&M in all white and a palm tree print (for a steal).

What do you think? Would you wear printed, oversized pants?

Best Jewelry Buy: Map It!

10 May

I was recently introduced to one of the most creative concepts in jewelry I have seen maybe, ever. Katie, of Three Jane NY, is killing the jewelry game with her Map Necklace. This adorable gift lets you be the designer. Pick a location, anywhere in the world, a specific cross street and they engrave it onto a 14K gold plate, marking your location with a tiny, little diamond.  The chain is 18″ and the plate is 15.5mm x 26.0mm. In person, the necklace is delicate enough for every day wear, but large enough for the map to be readable.

Three Jane NY features colleges, popular NYC wedding locations, fantasy locations like the Wizard of Oz, vacation destinations, or customize it yourself! The price won’t break the bank, so it’s a perfect anniversary, birthday, holiday gift for anyone special in your life. I love the idea of a husband giving his wife their wedding location, or a mom giving a daughter the hospital she was born in (an option!), or best friends exchanging their college location. It’s only $25 more to customize your exact location, and the small diamond is the perfect x marks the spot!

I personally chose Lani Kai beach on Oahu. This is my ultimate sanctuary, the most gorgeous spot on earth in my opinion, and a little bit more of a special meaning, that I’ll keep close to my heart. I have yet to take it off since receiving it and have received an amazing amount of compliments on it. Especially since my mom lives in Hawaii, it makes me feel like I have a little piece of home with me all of the time!

 

Three Jane NY’s map necklace is sold online here, she is also sold in Cynthia Rowley stores in Manhattan & others here, and can be followed on Twitter or Facebook. Katie, the designer, is one of the sweetest girls I’ve met through blogging. After meeting up last week, I also discovered how intelligent she is, interning with the best in the biz. And she convinced me to download ‘Lean In’ immediately!

Honestly, Amazing: HonestlyWTF x BaubleBar

30 Apr

It’s been awhile since a blogger collaboration grabbed my immediate attention & practically forced me to pull out my credit card and click “buy” immediately… enter Honestly WTF x BaubleBar.

The collection is the perfect amalgamation of vintage and modern with a ton of sparkle. The statement jewelry isn’t your “everyday” wear, but it’s the perfect touch to a high bun, to add a bit of finesse to your LBD or just to punch up a white tee!

 

I picked up the Triple Ice Chain Strand, and the Ice & Green Leaf Antoinette Drops. The earrings look like they could be straight from my grandmother’s jewelry box so I couldn’t pass up both colors, oops!

Shop it for yourself here and tell me what you buy!!

The Ultimate Shirt Dress

29 Apr

The Supply System has perfected the shirt dress. The slim fitting torso area flares out into the most flattering a-line skirt. The pressed material can be packed and worn without ironing. And the bright colors and light fabric scream Spring. I have been living in mine since receiving it and already want to buy at least one more.

I have the yellow one, and the fabric has little flecks of blue and pink that make it all the  more fun to wear as the weather turns warmer. Check out my instagram (@everyday_runway) later this week for how I wear mine!

 

The Supply System, which operates the apparel lines, is managed by three former business executives who left their jobs as a book editor, an agency account manager, and an agency account strategist to deliver creative utility in the form of products to the creative community they had worked in for years. Offering both mens and women’s the site has the cutest new apparel.
