What’s not to love about a neon, beaded/crystal combo deal? I’d layer one of these Adia Kibur necklaces with those Pamela Love pieces. True fact. One can never wear too many necklaces at once, in my opinion, particularly if you frame them with some sort of button-down or jacket.

I don’t own a lot of super-tough jewelry (i.e., spikes and all that jazz). Maybe it’s because I’m already tall and thus, scary, but I just don’t think I need to make myself look…armed for combat. BUT, I’m pretty obsessed with these Pamela Love Tribal necklaces and cuffs—and on the subject, this Eddie Borgo yellow turquoise bracelet. Rad. And more rad.

So Juicy Couture might still be unfairly saddled with a reputation for only making velour tracksuits and charms (which I unabashedly love), they actually have pretty great—and unexpected—jewelry. And their fancier Bird by Juicy Couture line is rife with good stuff, too.
Case in point, will someone please buy me this ombred-out fringe necklace. I’d tie it loose, and layer it with a handful of delicate gold necklaces: So pretty, in a bohemian art school kind of way.

I was wandering around Chicago last year, scouting out its best shops, when I stumbled into Asrai Garden, a floral-centric shop that I had somehow missed in all my previous visits to the city. Shocking, because Asrai Garden is exactly the sort of store I love to shop best: Gorgeously, lush arrangements (no, not plane ride appropriate), Santa Maria Novella beauty products, impeccably cluttered walls full of flea market finds (no, impeccably cluttered is not an oxymoron!), and all sorts of strange, otherworldly gifts. One such discovery: Embroidered necklaces made by a Cuban born woman named Lorena Marañón, who lives in Colorado.
I have a deep soft-spot for embroidery anything, it’s true, but these pieces were so graphic and fractal-like, they barely looked like they derived from an old-world craft. I bought one of her simpler necklaces; and then recently tracked her down to find that she’s doing far more intricate takes, like the Guajira and the Gestapal. And yes, I think another—or two. They’re totally rad, and unlike anything else I’ve ever seen.

A great way to update your wardrobe is to incorporate the oh-so-hot boyfriend blazer. I love the simplicity behind dressing this look. Recently, the blazer has taken on new meaning from office wear to making a statement in many different ways. It can be worn day or night, and can be dressed up or down. The most important thing to remember when wearing a boyfriend blazer is to play up your most feminine assets — whether it is with leggings or skinny jeans to show off the legs, or a chic fitted dress to show off those curves. Here I will show you how to wear the boyfriend blazer look effortlessly put together. All the necessary pieces to complete your boyfriend blazer look can be found here at beso.
Elongate the body with skinny jeans or leggings:
J Brand 12 Pencil Skinny Jeans $149.99
necessary objects blazer $28.90
The trick to pulling off the boyfriend blazer is the proportions. A blazer that hits past the waist looks great with skinny jeans as it makes the legs look longer and lends a slimming appearance. However, a blazer that hits right at the waist or above should be worn withdresses, with the emphasis on narrowing the waist.
When wearing jeans, pair the boyfriend blazer with a basic v-neck tee. Dress up the look with a long chain necklace or big earrings, and a cute clutch.
Dress up:
GUESS Matty Boyfriend Blazer $89.00
Juicy Couture pleated hem tee dress $158.00
When choosing a boyfriend blazer with contrast cuffs, I like to play up the style with ruffles or pleats.The boyfriend blazer can look very flirty over virtually any dress. A tee shirt dress can be a perfect way to dress down the blazer. Also,when wearing a boyfriend blazer with a dress I prefer a dress that falls a few inches above the knee.
The long and short of it:

Victorias Secret Boyfriend Blazer, $88
Finally, the boyfriend blazer looks hot worn with shorts and is an unexpected look that is very trendy. This look can be paired with gladiator sandals for spring or summer.

As spring quickly approaches, it’s time to trade in the turtlenecks and trench coats for a lightweight romper and brightly colored flip-flops. Rompers seem to be an essential piece for this year’s spring wardrobe, and are a comfortable and easy way to spend the day in the warm sunshine.
A great new find at beso this month is a Victoria Secret short sleeve slub romper with a slimming drawstring and front pockets. The wide v-neck creates the perfect lounge look with a camisole or bikini top peaking through.
To accessorize this otherwise simple piece, pair with some candy colored flip-flops with cute embellishments like these Yellow Box sandals in turquoise. These sandals are also a great addition to your closet as they can be worn with virtually anything and add a punch of color to many looks. The star embellishment also gives a very tropical vibe to any spring look.

I am a fan of big, bold jewelry and this Nautical Multi-strand Necklace from Target — it definitely adds a fun flair to any outfit. Anytime you put this on you’ll feel as if you’re right at the beach!

Spotted: Blair Waldorf wearing a Tiffany key pendant on the first episode of Season 3 of Gossip Girl. I’ve been lusting after those key pendants since I saw the giant Tiffany ads plastered on bus sheds and in magazines.
Problem? The Tiffany key pendants range in price from $100 to $15,000. $100 will get you a small silver key but you’ve got to get your chain separately.
Inspired by how great the key looks on, I wanted to find some affordable and cute takes on this style. JCPenney’s offers a wide selection of key pendants in different sizes and Zales offers a heart-shaped key set with diamonds, all for $69 — chain included! You don’t have to be an Upper East Side socialite to accessorize like one!
Eve's Addiction, $34
Zales, $69
