Neck-n-Neck

{1- Geometry}
{2- Kinship}
{3,4,5-Fathiya, Reza, & Erykah}
If you've been racking your brain for gift ideas, rack no more!  Here's a little inspiration on what you could look for when it comes to being fashionably generous this season. Use your gift receiver's staple outfit as inspiration and accessorize accordingly. If you're planning to hunt for styles like these AND you succeed, the other gift givers have some major competition.
Geometry would go great with a classic neutral jumper for the simple dresser who likes just a bit of color. I imagine the necklaces of Kinship to be paired with something like this flowy and romantic blouse. Your free-spirited girl would love something like that for sure! If you have a friend that likes to stick to classic, chic black, then the bottom three necklaces are the best shapes and makes of metallic collars. Happy hunting, ladies!

Testing Chaos

{Sweater: BBV}
{Pants: Forever 21}
     I've always appreciated a funky sweater. On top of that appreciation, I've always loved good accessories (I am somewhat guilty of over-accessorizing, but aren't we all?) Honestly, this set was put together basing my inspiration off of the OPI nail lacquer. That's kind of hard to believe when the sweater's inky pattern is vying for attention (hence the choice in neutral pants to tame said pattern). If you have (or want) a sweater with a similar pattern, test out the combination!
     If you're not up on the latest work of Jenna Lyons, please reference J.Crew's fashion face lift. I can't speak enough about their jewelry line that is trending a contemporary take on resin and enamels that pay homage to the Art Deco era.

At least once a week...

{Cardigan}
{J.Crew Socks}
{Kent Ari Mug}

It's hard to imagine a life so fast-paced without a little down time. Right? 
Here is a perfect little trio to make your lounging time successful.
     I've come to the conclusion that the grey piece of clothing was a cardigan (uncertain due to its size).The fringe detail adds just the right amount of luxe. Imagine slipping into those socks and sipping perfectly steeped tea from an authentic mug.  I really can't think of a simpler way to enjoy that time in a comfy and fashionable manner.  This combination is a must! All you have to do is find a buttery-soft leather chaise longue.

Finder's Keepers

Here's my muse for this Monday! I recently finished this piece and was able to come up with a fitting name for it! Finder's Keepers is a combination of three different chain styles with two additional ornamental accents, some of which came from an older collection of bracelets.  It hugs closely to the nape of the neckline and carries a bib-like quality with the way it cascades (due to its weighty mix of metals).
 
{Husky necklaces are dope.}

Extra thick.

Stay creative, friends!

Sweater Arsenal: December

I've decided that because this is BBV's first ever Winter, I'll be debuting its first ever sweater collection! So, don't cozy up with the same old cowl neck just yet! I must mention J.Crew's pristine take on the soft-and- shimmery. I can't forget about Madewell either! Their lookbook had a nice balance of bold blues and subdued blush tones. I love look #7 for it's lazy-Sunday layering. 
Here's a preview of the first "loved" of Winter sweaters!
Use Autumn's plaid button down to break up the sweater's sparkle!
{Pullover: Jeanne Pierre (s) coming soon; Plaid button down: Mossimo (Target)}
{Boots: Size 7 narrow, 8 watch straps; both available on BBV}
