Weekend Snapshot

Happy Monday! I am New York bound this morning and so looking forward to a few days roaming around the city with some fabulous ladies. 

Packing, of course, was an adventure.  It was too hard to narrow down these accessories. So naturally, they all are coming with me.  Packing is not one of my strengths.

I also tested out another necklace for an arm party.  My white MK watch wanted in on the fun as well.  Although, I do still love my gold combinations.

Last but certainly not least, I discovered my love for monochromatic pairings.  This will be making an appearance in NYC.  And to think, I used to only own one pink sweater.  I am fully embracing my love for pink these days.  Better late than never, right?!

Besides packing, I got a munch needed mani/pedi, made it back to my happy place, Costco, went bowling with the boy and friends, and celebrated my uncle's birthday.  It was a fabulous weekend, filled with great friends and family!

How were your weekends?

See you soon New York!

Arm Party

Remember when I was obsessing over BaubleBar last week and in major need of some arm candy?  Well, I got inspired by the fabulous Lauren of Stylized Existence and used two necklaces last week to create my first arm parties.

David Yurman Cable Classic // Mae Badiyan Vaida Necklace {last seen here} // Michael Kors Watch

Feedback from third graders:

On the red pants: "Wow, your pants are...different."

On the necklace as a bracelet: 
 "Um, Ms. H, you have on a lot of bracelets."
"It's actually a necklace."
"Ohhhhhh...[walks away, unimpressed]"

J. Crew Baubles {old} // Michael Kors Watch

What are your thoughts on using necklaces as bracelets? Are you as skeptical as my third graders?

I'm clearly all for it, especially when I'm on a spending freeze. It's great to use what you have in a different way.  Makes me love these pieces even more.

Today, you can find me over at Living Savvy chatting about closet organization! Thanks so much for having me, Tiffany!

Arm Candy

I am in need of some major arm candy.  I typically wear my gold MK watch with my David Yurman bracelet.  Ya, that's it.  I'm bored just typing that.  No arm party for this girl.  In need of some serious stackable pieces. This is where BaubleBar comes in. So many beautiful pieces.  Did I mention that my birthday is in April and that it never hurts to plan ahead? Oh, okay. Just checking. 

Roseland Disco Wrap [pretty please?] //  Palm Beach Cuff // Disco Ball Bangle

Green Multi-Wrap // Studded Pink Wrap // Noir Sparkle Stack

Gold Open Bangle Set // Think Pink Strand [my favorite] // Chain Leather Wrap

 But yes, I am partial towards the Think Pink Strand and the Roseland Disco Wrap.  The Gold Open Bangle Set + Disco Ball Bangle would be gorgeous layered. I think I would mix and match these four pieces the most.

Update: My favorite Think Pink Strand must have sold out last night or this morning after I put this post together. You can bet I will be stalking to see if it returns to the back in stock. Even though I still can't buy it until April 8th.

I have loved BaubleBar since the first time I discovered the website, but I had to share my BB love with you all because of my most recent purchase.  I bought a gift for a friend (remember I gave up shopping for Lent so no it was not for me!).  First and foremost, amazingly fast shipping.  Secondly, I am an idiot and couldn't understand how to make the bracelet bigger. Still can't tell you which bracelet because the friend has yet to receive said bracelet.

  I emailed BaubleBar and got a response extremely fast from the fabulous Nina.  Then I proceeded to make my sister follow her instructions since the bracelet was left at home (Thanks, A!), and we still couldn't figure it out (We're ridiculous, I know.  It's been one of those weeks).  I emailed Nina again. She then sent me a video, and we sorted everything out.  How amazing is that?! Best. Customer. Service. Ever.  So thank you BaubleBar for your patience and gorgeous products. Nina, you are fantastic.  

And to top it all off, free shipping on all orders and returns.  I know where I'll always be shopping, do you?!

Which bracelet would you pick? Any other recommendations?
