Pearl Embellishments

I won't lie, the embellishments that came into fashion this year took a while to grow on me but now I am all in. Well, almost all in - pulling this trend off takes some great styling. Whether it's floral embroidery or studded, similar rules apply. Don't worry - I'll teach you! My favorite embellishment of all to style is pearl detailing!

Splurge vs. Save: Affordable Summer Look

I am obsessed with finding dupes for designer pieces! Sometimes it happens to me accidentally - I find an inexpensive piece that I'm absolutely swooning over and then later discover that it is a carbon copy of a pricey item. Expensive taste is a part of my DNA, I can't help it! So whenever I find something that looks expensive but actually isn't, I'm in heaven. For this Splurge vs. Save look, I wanted to focus on the accessories! This is usually an area where I don't mind splurging if it's a ... VIEW THIS POST
