Chiffon Pleated Skirts

Everywhere I look I see a chiffon pleated skirt and I'm really starting to want one of my own!

 I found this picture of Olivia Palermo at her photo shoot for the "50 most stylish new yorkers" at stylecaster.com. She is  wearing a pleated skirt from Topshop, which makes me very happy being the ever budget friendly shopper! I pieced together some looks that are priced high and low and dressed up as well as dressed down so you can wear this look at work or going out. 

Hope this helps!

Look What The Post Man Brought Me!

I got a present in the mail from Lindsay Vallan and since I am so excited to now own one of her pieces I wanted to show you just how beautiful her work is close up!

A beautiful long necklace that I can wear so many ways!

Real amethyst, gold gems, and rainbow white crystals are strung by hand with a gold rosebud closure.

A Druzy Crystal Pendant hangs beautifully at the loop of the necklace.

Day 4 and I haven't taken it off except to shower/sleep!

Please check out Lindsay Vallan at Bergdorf Goodman and her online boutique lindsayvallan.com.

Thank you again Lindsay! I wear it with love!

The new "it": Lindsay Vallan!

A crystal wrap necklace

I went to a fabulous brunch on Sunday with my friend Brandon at Eatery. While laughing and enjoying my meal with my handsome date I noticed he had a beautiful blue stone necklace on. He works for Bergdorf Goodman and always seems to know what is popular, what is the new "it" thing, and what is gonna be a big hit. Come to find out he was wearing a piece of jewelry from Lindsay Vallan, the new "it" designer for Bergdorfs. 

Brandon told me that Lindsay's pieces were made from hand using precious stones, vintage charms, pearls, and crystals. Here is one of Brandon's necklaces:

Rhodonite with crystals, gold beads, and a charm

While browsing her website I started falling in love with all the different combinations of stones she uses as well as the information she gives you about the crystals and what each of their healing powers are. The charms that are used range from one of a kind pieces found in foreign countries to vintage charms found by Lindsay her self. She offers single strand necklaces as well as multiple stands necklace ranging from long to short in length.

Amethyst with a raw crystal

The raw crystals, i think are really beautiful as an organic shape and the multi strand crystals that are layered looks beautiful as well. Her prices range from $500-$1000, yes its high but I have to say, the weight and beauty of her jewelry is really amazing close up. The line is definitely statement pieces for the new age so, a piece from Lindsay Vallan will definitely be in the cards and can be worn so many ways, I'm dreaming of it now!

Home Again

I know....I know....I went M.I.A, I apologize. I have no excuses because every day I woke up and said to myself "I should blog", but everyday went by and I didn't. I hope to get back into the swing of things and find/make the time again because whether you hate my blog or love it, this blog created a sense of creativity for me and was my own. I don't own much in this world besides a college education I'm paying off and a few pairs of shoes, but this blog was my art when I couldn't put glue stick to paper (I collage as a form of art). 

So here are some things that I have been working on when I wasn't blogging.

Currently reading: Jillian Michaels: Unlimited. 

(I am trying to be a positive person. Though sometimes she can be a little annoying, she says all the things women who needs some confidence and a push should be told. She inspires me to challenge my mind and go for anything I want.)

Currently working on: Getting my bootie up and going to the gym every day

Currently wearing: anything I bought 3-4 years ago because I have been trying to save money

Currently loving: bright colored pants 

(I love this look, but a little scared on how to pull it off. One big issue I have is that I don't like to wear heels to work. I wonder if the outfit will look the same with flats? I need to get more color in my wardrobe and take some risks)

Currently wishing I had: endless money
Currently thinking: I may want to go back to being a brunette?
Currently considering: Heading down on my dinner break to the Haute Hippie sample sale and window shop
Currently wearing my hair: Like this....its a non wash hair day

Have a great weekend and I hope to see you Monday!

Midge xoxo
