Good Morning readers! I don’t know about you, but something about delicate silk and lace paired together with leather just does me in.  I love how the leather toughens up the the sweet dainty lace and gives off that bad girl vs. good girl look.  What do you think?

Did you see when the Izavel lambskin leather vest was first featured in The Fall Forecast with Izavel below?

P.S. I forgot to mention that my best friend Jessica did my hair for these outfit posts.  All she did was was part my hair down the middle and braid back the two different sections diagonally.  Then, she bobby pinned my hair into a huge bun and wrapped the leftover pieces around the bun to hide all of the strays.  She did an excellent job!

Hello everyone!  Alright, so I think this darling peplum dress is so amazing that it deserves a three day long post.  I thought I would show it to you piece by piece and build up the anticipation a little before showing you the best part about the dress!  Today is just about jewelry and accessories with one snapshot of the front of the outfit.   Make sure to check back on Tuesday and Wednesday to see the rest!

About the jewelry:  I got those two rings a little over a month ago 30% OFF from Banana Republic because of a promotion they were running that day.   These gorgeous rings just had me hooked and because of their neutral color they go with everything!  As for the necklace,  I can’t even begin to tell how unique and exquisite the glass etched cameo is.  Cameos are such rare timeless pieces that have been around for ages.  I feel the necklace adds a little character to this outfit and complements the class and elegance of the dress.  What do you think?

Have a great day and don’t forget to check back tomorrow!
