We decided to do something different with this lookbook as it just won’t stop raining here and taking pictures outside is impossible. I do love how the pictures turned out. We don’t have the luxury of having a blank wall to take pictures so we got creative and although you can’t really see the entire outfit, you can see bits and pieces of our place 🙂
Thank you SO much to Mafia for sending me this gorgeous pendant. It is a bit bigger of a piece than I usually wear but with a pretty casual outfit it really made my outfit stand out a bit more. I do have to mention that the chain it came with was super long and on a shorty like me it didn’t really look that great so I got the pliers out and modified the chain to fit me and I adore it at this length. Sometimes you have to do alterations on jewelry just as you do with clothing. Jewelry pliers (get a kit like this – perfect for small hands!) have come in handy in so many jewelry fixes as well as adding my own twist to certain pieces or even fixing/adding to vintage pieces that I find.
Madewell Somerset Tee
I got mine a few months ago (you can see it better here) but you know I love my Madewell tees and this one is on sale for $22. Have you seen their new arrivals? I’m totally getting the Striped Tribute Tee and the California coast pencil-stripe tee. Don’t they both look so perfect for the summer? And don’t forget to use ebates to get your cashback for shopping at Madewell!
rag & bone ‘The Skinny’ Stretch Jeans
I got these jeans awhile back and I really like that they are a gray color as they are always my go to pant when I don’t feel like wearing my regular jeans. They are on sale at Piperlime and the black is on sale for $72! Also get 2% cashback from ebates.
Prada black leather ankle platform booties
Oooh, look how cute these Seychelles booties. They look similar to my booties AND they are over 50% off at Endless + 7.5% cashback! I bought these foldover booties in gray early in the winter but never wore them. They are super cute but I think I’m going to sell them so look out for them in my next blog sale.
Mafia Jewellery – A Wreath of Gold
There are SO many great pieces, you really got to check out their shop. All their pieces are so fun and really unique. I love the apple ring, the ladybug necklace, and the awesome camera necklace called Oh, SNAP! (cute name right?)

April 11, 2011 at 2:59 pmI'm really liking your lookbook photos today! Something different and I absolutely adore. Glad you showed off that necklace, it does look a bit big but it worked with this look leaving it to stand out with your black top.
Have a great Monday!
