Spring is here! Well, if you live in the Midwest it is some days. Recently, I have been on the look out for a mod inspired umbrella to protect me from the April Showers. The clear canopy and the exposed rib is definitely the appeal here! Wish me luck on my search.

Solange
Solange Knowles was recently featured in Harper's Bazaar magazine. The fashion spread highlighted the chic, colorful and trendy styles that we know her for. I enjoyed seeing the fun patterns in her clothing but the thing that stuck out to me the most was her accessories. They can be described in two words : flirty and simple. If you notice she is only wearing one single adornment in each look. There was not a need to overdo it and add to the already busy prints that she wore. Her selected pieces were literally an accent. This was a reminder to myself that you don't always have to sport three or four pieces of jewelry,with a matching belt, sunglasses etc. One item is just fine. I am so guilty of this especially during the summer. With it coming around the corner I will definitely pay more attention to the amount of accessories I pile on.

Stacked
Retro bangles are my signature accessory. No they really are. I have pictures to prove it. There is a photo of me at the tender age of one wearing a set of gold bangles. And since that very day my love for accessories began. In my youth, I wore at least four rubber multicolored bracelets on my arm. The awkward teenage years were accompanied by stackable slinky wristlets. My college years were famous for the chunky earth tone resin kind. These days mod and ethnic lead the majority in my collection. So as you see my love for these adornments has always stayed the same. The only thing that has changed is my shopping strategy for them. Now I buy in sets and solid colors so that they will blend easily with my wardrobe.

In my morning routine I often find myself frustrated. While putting the final touches on my makeup, I am always digging through what seems to be a bottomless bag of cosmetics looking for my lipstick of choice. I eventually just end up turning the bag upside down and dumping everything out on the counter. After scrambling a few things around, I finally find what I am looking for. Needless to say it is definitely time for a change . While searching for some storage options on the web, I came across these lipstick holders from Anthropologie. They allow you to conveniently view your lip colors while providing a lovely vintage aesthetic. Be sure to check them out.

With Spring Break coming around the corner it is only natural that a girl begin planning her outfits! For my vacation I have decided to base my accessories off of the theme "Mod Roman Holiday". While I enjoy the traditional look of Roman inspired jewelry, I decided to add pieces that were more sleek and delicate. The mod earrings and sunglasses give it a more updated looks while staying true to the idea.
