Good Morning readers, today we’re going out with new and in with the old! Yes, you read that right because I am referring to this gorgeous Victorian Book Chain circa 1890 with a Deco Dress Clip circa 1920s! I don’t know about you, but if I could have lived in a different era, I would most definitely choose the roaring 1920s. Just think, if we were living in the 1920s right now we’d all be decked out in feathers, jewels, flappers and ruby red lips without a care in the world! Sigh… Since, we can’t travel back in time, I found the next best thing, Vintage Green Jewelry!  I mean, how stunning is this vintage gold leaf necklace! If you put it on an close your eyes, you just might hear Jazz music playing, glasses clinking and heels tapping.  Sounds magical, right?

Do you remember when I styled it with matching separates here–> On Wednesdays, We Wear Pink.  Even though the necklace looks like it should be worn with cocktail attire, I love the way it looks paired with a casual outfit for an unexpected twist. How would you style this necklace?

About the designer: “Thanks to her grandmother, Edith Anne Hunt fell in love with vintage jewelry at a young age.
Born and raised in Atlanta, Edith Anne also inherited the ‘jewelry gene’ from watching her mother design, produce, and manage her own jewelry business. In 2009, the Auburn University grad started Vintage Green out of a desire to give life to old, one-of-a-kind pieces from her grandmother’s collection.
The name ‘Vintage Green’ symbolizes Edith Anne’s passion for vintage in a repurposed fresh contemporary style. Though the jewelry line is always evolving, Edith Anne remains committed to using vintage and antique pieces such as, deco brass chain, antique buckles, and vintage brooches in her unique designs.
Ultimately, Edith Anne designs for the everyday white tee-shirt and jean kind of woman. Her vision is to make the ordinary extraordinary through her one-of-a-kind pieces.”
Made by hand and with love in Atlanta 

Make sure to enter to win one of Edith’s gorgeous vintage necklaces on today’s post!

Good Morning readers, I hope you all had a great weekend! I just returned from a much needed weekend getaway at the beach.  I feel so much more refreshed and ready to get back to work! Speaking of getting back to work, what do you think of my new and improved work space? My friend and I made this desk together with two sets of cubicles and a hallow door that we painted light aqua. Then we prettied everything up with some colorful desk accessories. I remember when I was little I would always have a bunch of random Lisa Frank notebooks, folders and highlighters out on my desk and my teachers would always make me put them away. They told me it was distracting me from my school work. I beg to differ though. I think pretty things in your work space can be inspiring!  I was kind of one of those problem students though. I should probably be embarrassed to tell you this, but my desk was always positioned right next to the teacher’s desk or up in the front of the classroom so she could always keep her on me.  Apparently, my excessive talking and highlighting was a distraction to the other students! lol

P.S. In case you’re wondering what the other half of my office/closet looks like…. Just kidding! It was only messy like this because I pulled everything out for a photo shoot. It’s usually much more organized than this!

Good Morning readers, I hope you’re all having a great week so far. In case you didn’t notice, this is the second romper from Haus 131 that I have styled this week and I’ll also be posting another romper tomorrow. I’m just kind of on a romper kick right now because they’re so easy and it’s so hot outside. For real though! It’s so hot outside that I just don’t even feel like thinking about putting clothes on. So lately I’ve just been throwing on fun lightweight rompers to run around town in.

Something else that I want to mention is my lace bandeau. I have a really short torso so dresses, tops and rompers with deep V-necks or low scoop necks always reach just a tad to low on my chest so I usually have to use fashion tape or find something to wear underneath.  After a while I grew tired of the regular old nude bandeau so I thought I’d try something a little riskier and decided to buy a black lace bandeau. I kept the lace bandeau in my dresser drawer for two months before I decided to actually pull it out and cut the tags off and man do I wish I would have done it sooner! Because it’s Ah-mazing! <–(Yes, Jordan. I know you shouldn’t start a sentence with because! lol) In case you’re wondering what that was about, my best friend Jordan from fourth grade always sends me my grammar and spelling mistakes after I publish my pots each morning. Thank goodness that she does though because I tend to make some pretty embarrassing mistakes when typing late at night or first thing when I wake up in the morning. So thank you for baring with me and mistakes!

Anyway, back to the lace bandeau! I just love it because it adds just that little bit of edge to my outfits plus it pairs so well with all of my favorite summer booties. My favorite way to wear it is with a deep V-neck like this one where you can almost see the entire bandeau. It also looks really cute beneath sheer flowy tops. What are your thoughts on the lace bandeau?
