The Jacket

There is just something about this jacket. It has been all over the internet for two years now, but I still can't get enough. I have it in three colors, red, navy, and gray. I wear one or two, every time I travel somewhere weather permitting. It's also my go to jacket whenever the Miami temp dips to the 60s. The burnt sage is front runner for my next, if there is a next, but in the meantime I decided to browse the web to discover some new found beauties in addition to this favorite jacket of mine. I am on the hunt for the next near perfect weather transitional jacket. One that is perfect for Fall to Winter and Winter to Spring. Maybe, that is why I love this jacket so much, after all. It works for majority of the year! Let me see if I can find something even greater... xo RCN

Starstruck

Zach may have thought this look was part of a Halloween costume, but no, I was not dressing as a Wizard for Halloween. This was by no means intended for a costume, I just loved the magical starry piece when I spotted it on the sale rack at Anthro. I had to have it! Stars are possibly my favorite print at the moment, and this gold foil star and polka dot combo caught my eye instantly. My lightly bleached frayed hem cropped jeans were the perfect pants to style with my statement duster and staple tank and heels. Shop the look below. xo RCN

 

Florida Camouflage

A romper, maxi, mini dress, pillow, or wallpaper covered in a banana leaf or palm pattern gets me giddy, always. When I found this uber affordable mini dress from rosegal.com (also on shein.com) I had to have it. It may make me blend into the background of this tropical playground, that is Miami, but I don't mind. I'll be holding onto this dress for as long as I can. Thankfully, I still have quite a few months to wear it out. And, since I am not afraid to over-do a color or dramatize an outfit, I decided I like to wear my green Celine bag along with the dress. Let's just say, I like the bag adding to my Florida camouflage look. xo RCN

 

Statement Earrings

Statement earrings are all the rage. I meannn, #oscardelarenta or #baublebar, anyone? Beaded and fringe tassel earrings have taken over the costume jewelry market, and I am loving it! I am a huge fan, but unfortunately, I can only wear ones that have stud backs and/or clip on. Due to damage from my teenage years, when I wore hoops the size dolphins could jump through. I wish I had a picture for you, boy, were they BIG! Over time, the holes in my ears have stretched to the point where the holes are close to ripping completely through my earlobe. To prevent further damage, I must stick to earrings that don't pull much. I need earrings that are anchored at my earlobe. It can be very limiting, and in result is partly the reason behind my huge collection of vintage costume earrings (they are all clip ons!). But, because drop statement earrings, mostly layered tassels and stacked beaded balls, are รผber popular right now, there are more than enough options out there for me to sort through - including stud backs. I am glad this trend is allowing for people like me, with damaged earlobes ;) to still enjoy! Shop some of my faves below. Oh, and if you don't already have slightly defective earlobes, like me, then these beauties below are pretty good options to help prevent you from being in a similar perdiciment in the future. xo RCN

Tropical Getaway

I am dying for a cold and cozy-up kind of vacation getaway this winter, but I am guessing most of you are dreaming of some sand and surf. I find myself more than ever these days searching the web for cute bathing suits and sandals because, well that is what I wear most of the time aside from running shorts or tank dresses. So, for those of you headed south to the Caribbean, Tropics, or the MIA, here is a round up of some winter get away must haves and Essie nail colors perfect for the beach. Happy shopping and don't forget the sunscreen! xo RCN

 

Prettiest Christmas Sweaters

I say, "out with the ugly Christmas sweater, and in with the prettiest Christmas sweater!" Ugly Christmas sweaters are everywhere, so no doubt you can find one of those in stores or online if you need one, but how about the prettiest sweater? Here are my picks for some of the prettiest, cutest, most sweet, and subtle knits for your next holiday shindig. Go with a little sparkle, or a ruffle for some flare. A cutout shoulder adds a little bit' of a lusty look without going completely bare. No "Ho, Ho, Ho" looks for me! Happy sweater shopping! xo RCN
