MONDAY MUSING: JESSICA HART

 
How does Jessica Hart (and that top knot) always look so effortlessly cool?  Even her dog carrier is spot on... Yes, I thought it was a red bowler bag at first too.  Simple stud earrings, like these AC chevron studs, dress up her look just enough.  I could live in this outfit all weekend, and -being a child of the 90s- I am loving the lace up boot trend!

NEW ARRIVALS


I hope you are having a great week, AC fans!  Have you shopped AC's New Arrivals yet? They are great pieces and all under $35- talk about a Friday pick-me-up!  I love the statement necklaces with skinny jeans and a t-shirt, and the black and white color block earrings with a  bright shift dress.  There, all my weekend outfits are planned out!  Have a wonderful weekend... take a nap and wear something fun!

FACE TO FACE


I recently started using Dr. Perricone Blue Plasma, and I am so obsessed it inspired me to share my favorite skin care products!  I have pretty stubborn skin (blemishes, uneven skin tone, super sensitive- you name it, I got it), so I have pretty much tried every product recommended by my Dermatologist, esthetician, and pushy friendly sales associate at the local Neiman Marcus beauty counter.  The one thing that works on my unpredictable skin- chemical peels.  The down side is 1. they are expensive and 2. you are peeling for days! Dr. Perricone's Blue Plasma gives you the result of a chemical peel, without the down time and the peeling... and it really works.  It is pricey ($95 a bottle) but that is less than one chemical peel, and all the reviews say it will last you 6-8 months.  My other skin saver is this Revision black mask.  It's a deep cleansing and purifying mask that leaves your skin perfectly polished and glowing.  The Lumiere Riche Bio-Restorative Eye Balm and the Journee Bio-restorative Day Cream both contain PSP which helps generate skin cell growth.  These products aren't cheap but they work and last forever...  to compensate, I use a reasonably priced face wash and toner (I love Simple foaming face wash and Mario Badescu toner).

MONDAY MUSING: TRANSITIONAL SKIRT


    
I'm not sure about you, but I am over all of my summer clothes.  I have been wearing my favorite neon pieces and white pants since April, and I am beyond ready to trade them in for my leather leggings and sweaters.  Unfortunately it is still way too hot to be wearing any of that... so for now some great transitional pieces will have to do, and this Zara skirt is the perfect piece to treat my August wardrobe blues.  Also,  these Jeffrey Campbell heels are a great shoe to take into fall... although they are white, they are suede and the hardware adds a fun edge.

TIED UP

AC statement necklace // Persol sunglasses  // Madewell cargo shirt // AC gold cuff // J. Crew skirt (similar here and here ) // Celine platform wedges (similar here )
 
This Madewell cargo shirt  is one of my favorite and most versatile pieces in my closet.  I love it tied up with a skirt like this, paired with leather leggings and sneakers, or just thrown on with a pair of jeans.  It wears year round, and it's a great alternative to a denim or chambray top.

DENIM ROUNDUP

 
 
Over the years I have tried a lot of jeans.  Expensive ones, cheap ones, skinny ones, distressed ones...and through trial and error I have developed my "All- Star" denim list.  These are the pairs that I literally wear out, and within a few days their replacement is washed and ready to wear in my closet.  I have been a J Brand devotee since high school, but about year ago my favorite pair of J Brand skinnys wore out beyond repair. Not wanting to spend $200 on jeans at the time, I decided to replace them with a pair Gap legging jeans... they are now my go-to everyday jean.  The wash is great and they have just enough stretch to make them comfortable but not so much that they sag by the end of the day (not a good look for anyone).  My only advice- don't buy classic style designer jeans on sale.  Promotions- absolutely!... sale rack- no.  From my experience, there is something "off" about them (usually poor fit) and they are not worth the money.
 
Scoop is offering 25% off denim through tonight (perfect time to stock up on your favorite designer pair!)

MONDAY MUSING: OLIVIA PALERMO

 
Got the Monday blues?  Olivia Palermo's cheery vacation outfit is sure to brighten you up! She looked fabulous (per usual) vacationing with her boyfriend on the Greek Island of Mykonos last week...and yes, that is Valentino behind her.  If we can't spend the last of our summer days island hopping with fashion royalty like our friend OP, we can at least look the part. These Ann Taylor Riviera shorts are chic and comfortable... Perfect for that August wardrobe rut. The AC turquoise fringe necklace is a great pop of color and the adorable Kate Spade tote is sure to put a smile on your face.

DIY: EAR CUFF

Images via Honestly WTF

Do you remember when I posted about ear cuffs here earlier this month?  Well my affinity for them is still going strong, and I am still without one.  Luckily, I ran across this great DIY on Honestly WTF (one of my favorite blogs), and I had to share it with you!  To be honest I am not the "craftiest" of people, but this looks doable (even by my standards).  I think I know how I am going to be spending my afternoon this Sunday!

Don't forget to give your other ear a little love! Keep it simple and wear one of the AC pave twisted knots, AC classic studs, or AC chevron earrings on your left ear.
