endless jewelry with Rocksbox.

as i sit here looking up a my jewelry board, i'm reminded of all the necklaces i once loved but simply outgrew. i'm reminded of money spent on jewelry i liked but didn't love. 

if this sounds familiar to you, i'm about to introduce you to the best $19 you'll possibly spend every month. $19 a month with Rocksbox gets you access to unlimited designer jewelry. after taking a style survey, you'll receive a Rocksbox with three designer pieces to try before you buy. wear them as long as you like or return them as often as you like for a new set of three. if there's something you can't live without, simply keep it, return the rest, and you'll be billed a discounted price for being a Rocksbox Shine Insider! 

in addition, you'll also get a monthly $10 Shine credit that you can use toward the purchase of items you wish to keep. score!

if you are interested in building up your jewelry collection with quality pieces, Rocksbox is a great way to try out different styles from established and emerging designers, then purchase the pieces you truly love.

if you're the non-committal type and just love having new jewelry to wear, Rocksbox gives you access to an endless rotating jewelry closet. your friends will be envious of all your "new" goodies.

[oomph] worthy: metallic tattoos.

with tiny wrists, it's always been a challenge to find a great arm stack. while i have found a few gems throughout the years, i've missed out on popular favorites, like the pave link bracelet, because they were too big. still want that one, tho!

metallic tattoos burst onto the fashion scene recently, and it took me a while to jump on the bandwagon...i mean, temporary tattoos? i like 'em real, haha! but curiosity got the best of me, and i ordered a pack from flash tattoos.

i have been wearing them non-stop. i throw on a few at a time and love the way they have been filling the void in my arm stacks.

some of the tattoos are gold and silver which is a great way to ease into mixing metals. my favorite has been throwing on a few skinny gold and silver bracelets...along with the metallic tattoos, it's almost like having a full stack of bracelets. #winning

it's also great for when i'm running.
um, who wears jewelry when they're exercising? i do. i can still wear jewelry without the jingling and jangling!

have you tried metallic tattoos?

sorority sister + GIVEAWAY.

leave it to the movies to skew our perception of what sororities and fraternities are really like...i mean, the first thing that comes to my mind is the movie legally blonde. while raging frat parties, that nerve-wracking sorority rush, or those secret rituals may or may not be true, i do know that members of these greek organizations share experiences that create lifelong bonds.

what better way to celebrate, create unity, or remember your association with a greek community than with a personalized piece of jewelry? The Collegiate Standard, a jewelry company created by greeks, for greeks, caters to fraternity and sorority organizations. looking for a thoughtful and unique gift? consider one of their lettered pendants, rings, tie clips, or cuff links. best part is that they give a portion of their sales to the designated sorority or fraternity, and we like companies that give back.

 scroll down for the giveaway.

are you part of a greek organization? if so, which one?

floral joggers are not pants!
they are comfortable pants.
and how might one wear these outside of the house?
with a shrunken blazer + heels.

this Delta Sigma Pi bangle in pink is one of my favorites;

i borrowed it so you could see it worn.

GIVEAWAY

Collegiate Standard is giving away one piece of jewelry to a lucky reader. you do not have to be part of a sorority or fraternity to enter; they have some pieces without letters (like the anchor ring i'm wearing above).

east vs west [coast] style. varsity.

it's here...the east vs west coast style collaboration is back! the girls and i are excited to share our takes on some of our favorite spring trends. as always, it'll be fun to see how lifestyle and location influence style across the states. we're kicking off this six-week spring 2014 edition with varsity!

the varsity jacket was seen on runways of designers like DKNY, prabal gurung, and louis vuitton. if the traditional "letterman" varsity jacket isn't your thing, you'll also find varsity jackets that are softer in shape and in feminine fabrics like silk. or ditch the jacket altogether and think stripes or numbers for a sporty look.

visit the girls to see more of their outfits.

loving this super cute leather tank top from Lulu's. tank tops are an absolute must here, and i like this dressier option. since there's still a chill in the air, i layered my varsity jacket over it and threw on my nikes for the ultimate sporty look.

the jersey romper.

i finally got fed up with my jewelry drawer (again!) after having to dig through my accessories to find one thing that i actually use. coincidentally, i happened to find some jewelry trays and come across a youtube video in which a girl was cleaning out her wardrobe with the help of a pro. one thing the pro said was true - we tend to forget that accessories are part of our wardrobe and need updating as well.

so, i've been pruning...and while doing so, i came across this necklace a friend gave me a while back. it kind of falls into the category of statement necklaces, which i've been currently craving. wearing it with a fun romper from Patty's Closet.

how was your weekend? did your team win the super bowl?

love these organizers because they are stackable.

found them at tj maxx, but they are also on sale here.

christmas giveaway with Anuhea Designs.

christmas is a time for giving.

so i've turned to my most trusted friends to bring

you some amazing giveaways this week.

what were you doing at 13 years old? i was probably hanging out with my friends at the mall or watching tv or possibly riding my bicycle around the neighborhood. my friend's beautiful daughter, Kamaile, is a budding entrepreneur at 13 years old and the creative mind behind Anuhea Designs. Kamaile hand makes jewelry using shells she and her mom find here on the beaches of oahu. and while mom and dad sometimes get the itch to jump in and help with the jewelry, kamaile insists on doing it by herself...even drilling the holes in the shells with dad's dremel! Anuhea Designs is something she can truly call her own. visit her on instagram to see her current pieces, all of which can be made to fit.

Kamaile is graciously giving away a beautiful sunrise shell necklace. the shell is wrapped with sterling silver wire and hangs on a silver chain accented with three fresh water pearls ($40 ARV). in the spirit of giving, one lucky winner will win this beautiful necklace and a surprise piece of jewelry from Anuhea Designs ($20). this 2-for means that you get a necklace for you, a second piece to give.

Anuhea Designs at one of our recent holiday shopping events.

sunrise shells are one of the islands' rarest shells. they are only found in hawaiian waters, mainly on kauai and oahu, making them unique to hawaii. legend has is that they were once the exclusive property of hawaiian royalty.

AND

i'm throwing in this pink blouse from [oomph.] that i think will complement the sunrise shell necklace nicely.

say it with a [graphic] tee.

i've always had a love-hate relationship with t-shirts,

because the fit, material, and length have to be just right. and while i never used to wear much of them, they have been at the top of my wishlist recently for several reasons:

1) they are great layering pieces

2) they are versatile; can be dressed up or down

3) they are comfortable

in particular, neutral colors (especially grays) with simple sayings or graphics have been on my radar. i recently ordered this one from madewell only to find that it is back ordered until january! so i was ecstatic to [coincidentally] receive this one from my friends over at sisters marie. we didn't get a full length picture, but i am wearing my sole society skylar boots. the collage shows a couple ways i will be wearing my tees.

do you wear tees? do you keep them casual or dress them up?
