New Jewels: Rocksbox

/

Happy Tuesday, everyone!
Today I'm sharing a new way of accessory-hunting, courtesy of Rocksbox.  Truth be told, I'm not the greatest when it comes to shopping ahead for accessories.  Oftentimes I'll make an outfit, and realize after the fact that I don't have the right accessories to go with it, or that an extra piece is needed to keep the outfit from looking too bare.  So when I heard about Rocksbox, the concept sounded perfect for me. 

It's a monthly selection of pieces sent to you, tailored specially to your personal style with the help of Rocksbox stylists.  When you receive the items in the mail, you get to trial them for as long as you like, then swap them out for new pieces anytime you want! If they picked pieces that you love, you can purchase them at the insider price.  Plus they give you $10 of "shine spend" to use towards a purchase each month. 

How easy is that? 

Confession: I'm a bit of a commitment-phobe.  

Luckily for me, and anyone else with the same condition, you can opt out at any time, no strings attached.  That said, I'm loving my new goods so much that I'm not quite so concerned about that phobia anymore.  

Ps.  Reversible necklace.  Love.

Here's the best part.  Sign up with my code stylophylexoxo and you get your first month free.  Is that sweet or what? Go forth and accessorize yourselves!

Have a fab Tuesday! 

Time for an escape...

Dress - Haute Hippie
Shoes - Delman

I'm loving these warmer days, but the back and forth of sun to clouds to heavier jacket-requiring climate is such a tease.  I think it's perfect time to sneak away for a long weekend and enjoy some time on a quiet island.  Uniform of choice? Long, flowy, light dresses that let the ocean breeze flow through leave the humidity as a passing thought.

Put Some Swing in Your Step

A little flashback to NYFW.  I did some colorblocking with my rose-pink coat and pops-of-coral, a color scheme that carries well into spring.  This little fringe bag has been bringing me everywhere, such a fun trend.  I've played with fringe before, and I always love the way it adds movement to every step.  
Swing, swish, sway. 
The fashionable form of amusement was a steal from H&M, and in black, it's a versatile way to sneak some fun into virtually any outfit.  Almost too easy.
Anyone else  feel like skipping and spinning in circles when they put fringe on?  If I'm the only one, I'm still OK with it.  Because that's the effect it has on me.

 What I wore under that big coat during fashion week.  I'm in love with this embellished vest.  The way it catches the afternoon light... I had to take advantage of it with the bit of downtime we had after one of the shows at this loft studio.  The ring is handmade by my talented friend Linda Lee.  She's extremely skilled with handcrafting and details.  The secret to pulling off glimmering accessories such as these- is always keeping the rest of the outfit simple and uncomplicated.  And all black never fails.

Fashion week was bitter cold.  We all know far too well how difficult it can be to pull together a presentable outfit when all you want to do is hide under your cozy covers.  This coat saved me, both climate-wise and aesthetically, during the week of show-hopping.  When the temps are this harsh, all you need is a statement coat, and the rest of the outfit is simple.  Colored furs (as you can see in my previous post) are trending all over at the moment and this coat was it for me.  Top it off with a wide brim hat and you have an outfit that will make leaving that down comforter a little more bearable.
