Lookout Point

I've crossed the pass six times to see family and spend time with dré. I'm not gonna lie, it's been exhausting. I realize sometimes I have to give extra energy to see the people I love, but when you live on the other side of the country, and only have a few short weeks to reconnect, it's well worth it. Sometimes all it takes is a little reminder to pause, smile, and lookout.

[ A New Bag ]

A couple weeks ago a friend of mine mentioned that she was going to Paris. Per usual, when folks prepare to walk where Coco walked, they're a little daunted by being under dressed. Truthfully-- and I've shared this with friends, clients, and now you!-- all you need is a great bag and great pair of shoes! While helping her find that great bag, I came across this Steve Madden 'Soho' tote, and have been thinking about it ever since!

Investing in a new bag can be cause for a lot of thought, though. When I was poking around, I also came across this awesome bowler bag that would go great on the days I decide to be more polished in my wardrobe. I'm such a trend chameleon! 

How classy is this bowler bag from ASOS ?!

Finally, I've been kind of leaning towards a green bag. It's probably because it's the theme color I'm surrounded by 5 days a week, but nonetheless it's on my mind right now.

Oh, what to choose... what to choose... Which bag do you think I should choose? Let me know your pick in the comments below, or tweet me at sphereofdin.

From the runways of Rodarte and Repossi to the street style trendsetter, ear cuffs are a Spring fashion favorite. Below, Miranda Kerr wears a Ryan Storer cuff, and Cara D. and Alicia Keys compliment their perfectly coiffed updo's with statement pieces by Repossi.

Trend [ deCODEd ]

Every fashionista likes a good trend. Here are a few ways you can jump on board without breaking the bank:

River Island cuffs | ASOS, $8.48

House of Harlow 1960, $59

If your ears are pierced, there are longer, draping versions available, too. Try these from ASOS and Urban Outfitters. Also, this Samii Ryan spiked ear cuff at Nordstrom doesn't require piercing, but it'll still hang with the best of 'em!
