WILD THINGS

Nothing jazzes up an arm party quite like a little bit of Mother Nature!  J Crew's got ram heads and elephant heads all bejeweled and enameled and ready for a night out on the town.  Perfect for the party animal in us all.  (Ha ha, get it? Party animal? I crack myself up.)

SPLURGE/SAVE

SPLURGE / SAVE

So I (along with every other blogger on the internet, apparently) am head over heads for the Cartier Juste Un Clou bracelet.  So sleek!  So tough! So....expensive.  If you, like me, aren't making the big bucks this summer but are really feeling the nail-as-bracelet vibe, check out the CC Skye Nail Bangle.  Obvs not the exact same, but it's a similar style without the hefty price tag.  So take the extra $$$ you saved and order yourself another margarita.  It's National Tequila Day, after all.

FRESH & JUICY

I was in middle school during the whole Juicy Couture heyday.  I remember I begged and pleaded and stomped my feet to try and get my mother to buy me a Juicy tracksuit, but she put her foot down.  (Looking back, I'm thankful - a velour tracksuit? Rhinestones? Words across the butt? Really?)  At one point, I saved up enough to by myself an on-sale, last season jacket in a deep cranberry color, and I wore it to death.  But then I outgrew it, and by then, the Juicy phase was over and I moved on with my life.

And then today, while shopping for a Mother's day present, I paused by a window so cute and colorful I just had to go inside.  And what store, you might ask, had captured my attention so?  None other than the JC itself.  I haven't set foot in the store in the five-odd years it's been at the mall until today, but boy am I glad that I did.  Neon and metallic shorts, lace dresses, Trina Turk-esque shift dresses, and neon and rhinestone jewelry - what more could a girl want?  They still sell the tracksuit, so steer clear of those, but they've got some seriously cute stuff as well.  And don't worry - all the dresses still come with that cute little j-shaped zipper you loved back in middle school!

GEOMETRIC

Found this image on pinterest earlier and fell in love with this necklace - the colors, the simple lines, the repetition.  It's made by Iacoli & McAllister, a Seattle-based design studio that makes really cool geometric home goods and jewelry.  According to their website, they're inspired by things such as industrial processes, thunderstorms, other people's mixed cd's, bike rides, and sandblasting, so I'd say they're probably pretty cool.
