the shop at No. 144

with new years eve fast approaching i've been thinking about what to do, who to do it with and, of course, what to wear.  this year i don't have the time (or money) to go out and find a new outfit...but i did find this shop...and i think it is just the thing i was looking for!

metallic gold tinsel

matte gold sequins

black velvet

gold sequins

burgundy satin with beads

watch out!

 i've been on a bracelet kick all summer so it seems like a natural progression (of sorts) to move into watches for the fall.  only problem is that i cannot commit...i've been drooling over this watch and this one.  but now i also can't stop looking at these guys...and can you blame me?

bobby got me diamond earrings! ok, not quite.  he got me a herkimer diamond earrings,  thus named after being found in  herkimer county, new york.  these "diamonds" are actually quartz crystals and i love them!  i also love moth house, the shop i snagged these from!

since these beauties came into my life i've been noticing more things with crystals and minerals and such...see for yourself!

one dress, two ways - mare

in this outfit i could see myself running errands with girlfriends...and by errands i mean things like getting a mani/pedi, browsing the jewelry at youngblood, and drinking on a patio. this outfit is cute, simple but not boring, and comfortable. while i am not wearing this outfit currently i am going to find a patio...cheers!

one outfit, two ways

Since we have such similar tastes, yet both like to be different, we came up with a plan to test those differences. We agreed on one dress and then set out to accessorize the dress however we saw fit. In our searching we picked out some of the same things, but mostly different. This was fun, seeing how someone else can look at a dress and go a different direction in accessorizing it. The only problem is now we both want both of these outfits...

One Outfit, Two Ways - Mare

This would be my "going to a meeting/grabbing drinks after work" outfit. When we decided on the dress these shoes instantly popped into my head, and I went from there...
