Graphic Tees & Statement Necklaces

Lately, I've become infatuated with graphic tees. Graphic tees are a great addition to a wardrobe because they are a versatile piece. You can dress them up for a night out, or keep it simple and casual while still looking trendy. Personally, I prefer dressing them up. I love wearing a cute comfortable graphic tee with a bold statement necklace. I find the look to be chic and effortless yet still very fashionable.

Tory Burch For Fitbit

As a Fitbit user I was ecstatic when I found out that Tory Burch was going to be designing accessories for the Fitbit Flex. I got the Fitbit Flex as a Christmas present and have really enjoyed all of the features that it offers.  For those of you that don't know, the Fitbit is a fitness/wellness tracker. The Fitbit Flex helps track daily steps taken, distance traveled, calories burned and active minutes. It also helps track daily meals, hours slept, quality of sleep and even works as an alarm. It really is a neat little gadget. The Fitbit is the perfect companion for the everyday woman trying to stay in shape or get back in shape. The tracker syncs with your cell phone, computer or tablet through the Fitbit app making it easy to access from anywhere.
Having said all that, the color silicone bands that come with the device are not the most fashionable jewelry pieces, they're okay. They come in 10 different colors so you do have options with your everyday outfits. That's why I was so excited for the Tory Burch Fitbit Collection; more options and fashionable. The Tory Burch Fitbit Collection consists of 4 pieces; 3 bracelets and 1 necklace, ranging from $38 to $195.

So far, I've purchased the two silicone printed bands in fuchsia and navy. I pre-ordered my bands at the beginning of August and received them in the mail a couple days ago. The Tory Burch silicone printed bracelets feature a special pattern, logo "T" and shiny brass closure. I really like them and am satisfied with my purchase. 



They are still taking pre-orders online and the expected ship date is end of September. I guess they underestimated how much of a craze these accessories were going to be. I can't wait to see if there is more to come.

Target & Altuzarra Fall Collaboration

Phillip Lim, Neiman Marcus, Jason Wu, Peter Piloto and Prabal Gurung are several of the designers that Target has collaborated with in the past couple of years. I really look forward to these collaborations because it's an opportunity to score some great pieces at a reasonable price.
Last week, Target released the look book for the fall designer Joseph Altuzarra. The collection consists of around 50 pieces ranging from $17.99 to $89.99. Let's dive right in and look at some of my favorite pieces.







Drum roll please.......The one piece that I am truly looking forward to are the ankle boots in black, $59.99. These boots are just a great statement piece to any outfit.


Summer is not over yet but I am already planning for the fall and getting some key pieces. This year I have become obsessed with boots. So far I have purchased 3 pairs of boots and I think these ankle boots will be my 4th pair. Hopefully I can get my hands on these beauties because Target collaborations usually sell out fast.

The Altuzarra Collection hits Target Stores and Net-A-Porter on 
September 14.

Pura Vida Bracelets

Has anyone checked out the Pura Vida Bracelets? I came across these bracelets about a month ago. They are fun, colorful, casual and summery. I can't get enough of them. 

"The phrase "Pura Vida" (pu-ra vi-da) means "pure life" in Spanish. Enjoying life slowly, celebrating good fortune and not taking anything for granted embodies the Pura Vida Lifestyle. It's about being free and living life to it's fullest with no regrets or taking anything for granted; it's an attitude." -www.puravidabracelets.com

I purchased the Turquoise Style Pack which included 6 bracelets. The bracelet pack included a combination of different style bracelets in turquoise, aqua and purple tones. 
(The turquoise style pack I purchased is no loner available)


Additionally, this company helps provide full-time jobs for artisans in Costa Rica as well as carry a whole Charity Collection line. Do you have a special cause close to your heart; environment, animals, education, cancer etc... With the purchase of that specific bracelet the company will donate $1 to the specific charity.

Check out their website.
