Geometric Print

September 10, 2015

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; I love long weekends and short work weeks! It can be challenging to get everything done in a few days, but if you like to play hard you gotta work hard. Am I right?

I was thrilled when the Winnie pant came out in a printed version (I have them in five colors: navy, black, red, pink, and burgundy).  They are fitted through the hips and thigh and are the perfect cropped length. The fabric is super forgiving and comfortable, making them just right for the office or off duty weekends. The geometric print is fun but unexpected, and it easily pairs with a simple top. The juxtaposition of these rhinestone earrings and pearl pendant necklace amped up the chicness of an otherwise simple look.

Happy early weekend everyone . Thanks so much for reading.

Florals & Blooms

June 25, 2015

Lace & Pearls Floral Pant 1Lace & Pearls Floral Pant 7Lace & Pearls Floral Pant 4Blouse: Banana Republic | Pants: Loft (old) | Bracelet: J.Crew (old) | Necklace: J.Crew (old) | Watch: Marc by Marc Jacobs (similar) | Purse: Marc by Marc (old) | Sandals (old) | Lip gloss: M.A.C in color Sinnamon

I love a good pair of printed pants. These ones are so comfortable, and I like the black & white floral pattern. I usually wear them with a simple white top or sweater, but this blouse is just what these pants needed to kick it up a notch. I am in love with the fiery red color and silky, forgiving fabric. The rest of the look is kept simple with gold sandals and accessories.

It’s almost the weekend and I couldn’t be happier. I’m going to a birthday party and hanging out with my bestie. What’s everyone else up to?

Polka Dot Pants

May 7, 2015

Lace & Pearls Polka Dot Pant 1Lace & Pearls Polka Dot Pant 2Lace & Pearls Polka Dot Pant 3Lace & Pearls Polka Dot Pant 4Blouse: J.Crew (similar) | Denim: AG (old) | Necklace: Stella & Dot (old) | Bracelet: J.Crew (identical) | Flats: Sam Edelman | Purse: Rebecca Minkoff (similar) | Lip gloss: Giorgio Armani (color 519) | Lipliner: NARS color Rosebud

These jeans were one of the first pairs of printed denim that I purchased. They are the prettiest shade of  blue with tiny white dots. I love to wear them in the warmer months. The silk blouse is another staple. I’m horrible at keeping white clean, but the reward outweighs the risk.

I’m headed to the Farm & Frills Antique show this weekend with my mom and bestie. I am so excited (see this post from the December show). We are celebrating my best friend’s birthday and going out for dinner afterwards.

For Mother’s Day I’ll be celebrating with my mom and enjoying whatever the day brings. Let’s hope for good food and great weather.

These jeans have become a staple in my closet. I bought them a few years back and continue to reach for them every season. In warmer months, I wear them with a pair of silver flats or sandals, and swap out the sweater for a white blouse with some delicate jewelry.

Thank you everyone for reading Lace & Pearls.  I feel grateful for the support I have received from bloggers, friends, and family.  I really do appreciate every comment and you taking the time to visit this blog.

To those who celebrate Christmas, have a good holiday and enjoy this time of the year with friends and family.

Bows on Bows on Bows

DSC_0270 DSC_0246 DSC_0236 Shirt, Pant, and Bracelet: J.Crew (old)| Necklace: J.Crew Factory (similar) | Watch: Marc by Marc Jacobs (similar) | Ring: Stella & Dot| Ring: Gorjana | Boots: Dankso (old) | Lipstick: Bobbi Brown (Warm Beige) | Lip Gloss: Smashbox Limitless Long Wear (Endless)

I purchased these Kelly green bow print cords a few years back from J.Crew. This was when printed pants were on the up-and-up and I was hesitant to wear a pattern on my legs. Little did I know that printed pants would become a signature part of my style.  I think this trend has phased out but I still rock it.

It can be intimidating to wear a pattern on your bottom half, but it’s easy to pull off. Wear them with your favorite chambray shirt or blouse; or style it with a cozy sweater or cardigan. Keep the top solid, but make sure it has some texture. Add some accessories for the final touch, like the pictured tortoise shell jewelry.

To kick off Discipline Month, I have been forcing myself to shower 🚿 , brush my teeth, and do my skincare routine every day. I also want to challenge myself to go outside 🍁 my house a few times a week. 😊
