Earlier this week I attended a rooftop party and wanted a look that was pretty simple but cute, which is always my goal when I get dressed! It’s been crazy hot on the east coast, so wearing a light weight fabric was a must.I chose a simple LBD and threw on some of my fave accessories from DSW. And of course I had to have a pair of dangly earrings.The leather bag with gold accents is my go-to purse. It’s gorgeous, looks way more expensive than it really...

By now you know I love accessories (as witnessed here and here), my motto is the bigger and bolder, the better. So imagine my surprise when I came across pnkElephant. They describe their line as "fashion accessories...for accessoriy addicts." That kinda describes me perfectly.They're super affordable ($20 and under) and the bold pieces (big baubles, spikes and chains) are sure to add flair to any outfit.Oh, and lucky for you, today is their $5 Wednesday special with select items slashed to less than the price of your daily lunch.Click more to see their amazing pieces.

Do you have any old pieces in your closet you haven’t worn in forever, but you just can’t seem to part with them? Yeah, of course you do.I purchased a yellow tube dress three years ago for about $20 and I haven’t worn it in at least two years. Once upon a time I loved it, I really did, but I realized the hem was way too long (at 5’2, any dress that hits below my knees makes me look like a teeny Lollipop Kid!) and the elastic started to wear out.

But I still didn’t want to get rid of it. I decided to take items in my closet and rework the ill-fitting dress into a new outfit. Click more to see how I used basic pieces (crisp white shirt, belt and necklaces) to create a fresh look.

I'm an accessories fiend so I love discovering new lines. First I told you about Frolick and now here's Rachel Stewart. The line includes earrings, necklaces, headbands and brooches, and nothing is over $40.I don't even know how to describe the custom-made jewelry other than funky, fresh and FLY. I could also describe them as retro and original. {designer inspired} High Society earrings, $25 Rich Bitch necklace, $30 {throwback feel} Mixtape earrings, $20 Gold Afro Pick earrings, $30 With cute pieces like these, it's understandable why they sell out so quickly, but she tends to...
