Winston

 `

I always get excited whenever I stumble upon something that is unique and it's an accessory.Winston is my beloved ring that I found while shopping around San Francisco one day and the best part of all is that he is an elephant.

If you have a love for animal themed jewelry then check out Moss Mills, KJL, or even Ebay for some quirky yet chic pieces.

XOXO

The "Rocco"

I absolutlely love this handbag, BUT (yes, there's a but) it's just so darn heavy. No need to use free weights for exercise when you are hauling around Rhodium plated hardware..nothing like a little bit of a sacrifice.

However, it's such a beauty with it's durable pebbled leather and I couldn't resist this Midnight Blue version.

Accessories Kinda Gal

When it comes to accessories I have no control. I always seem to NEED it. I've been this way since I was a kid. The more the merrier I say! Whether it be a simple necklace piece or some glitzy tights..I love it all.

BTW pic#2 is more stunning in person! I'm completely lusting over it.

The Rose Bowl

If you're someone who likes to scope out a deal and treasure hunt then The Rose Bowl in Pasadena is the place to be.

I kept hearing about this place, especially amongst other bloggers, so I knew I had to make this a destination spot. 

The B.F and I finally had the chance to go this last Sunday....and boy was there a lot to see!!Thankfully, I had done my homework and read some reviews before trekking it out to this place. I highly suggest you do the same if you haven't been here before. Keep note that it's only the 2nd Sunday of every month and there's a fee to get in for each person. Oh..and bring CASH!!

All in all we had a fun time here and I'd definitely would want to come back.

Daytime Sequins

So who says you can't wear sequins for daytime casual wear?!..certainly not me. I'm all for it. I've worn this little number for work with flat ankle boots and a black cardigan. I've even thrown on my trusty Converse Chucks and roamed around the flea market.

Next time you walk by a sequined piece don't dismiss it right away;consider the endless possibilities it may have.

"P" is for...

Pashmina-

refers to a type of fine cashmere wool and the textiles made from it

Oh how I love a good scarf around my neck; especially a Pashmina. It instantly livens up even the most casual of outfits and it keeps you nice and warm (I'm always getting cold, so I always have one around). You can choose from an array of different colors and patterns. Also, keep in mind that you can choose from 100% cashmere or a cashmere/silk blend. 

Currently on my radar: Monogrammed Pashmina from Etsy
