DSC0930 DSC0941 DSC0916 DSC0928 DSC0945

I am a huge fan of anything born in the Bay Area. But in the case of San Jose based designer Marissa Del Rosario, she could be based anywhere in the universe and I would still be a huge fan. This fabulous Bay Area designer has created an amazing line of accessories which are chic and timeless. Love that!

I was thrilled when Marissa Del Rosario sent me the beautiful bracelet featured in these photos. The strong, edgy chain combined with the classic leopard print details caught my eye immediately and I knew this bracelet would be in my wardrobe forever. The bracelet is extremely high quality, and knowing it was designed by a local designer makes me crave even more pieces from Marissa Del Rosario’s line. I cannot wait to wear this bracelet with more outfits in the months to come!

Please take some time to check out her website at MarissaDelRosario.com and view her collection. I am currently coveting her belts; and more of her bracelets! What is your favorite piece from the line?

Transitioning with Eclection

DSC08581 DSC086301 DSC0865 DSC0866 DSC0859

There is something about the month of August which always makes me want to ditch my summer wardrobe and move right into fall. Unfortunately, this is a little difficult to do in the San Francisco Bay Area. After all, our summer weather continues into late October; and sometimes early November! To solve this wardrobe dilemma, I look for color combinations which evoke an autumn feel yet can still pass for “normal” in August.

I was really excited when I first saw the new “Eclection” collection from Twisted Silver for late summer. The necklace and earrings offer the current trend towards smaller jewelry for fall 2013 in a transitional color palette! It is like Twisted Silver read my mind! Love them!

The beautiful “Eclection” collection from Twisted Silver features an eclectic combination of vintage crystal, glass pearls and brass. The colors on the “Eclection” collection include pale blue, pale amber, pearl and a pop of fall 2013’s hottest hue; red! Love that!

Twisted Silver’s new “Eclection” collection completes my transitional look from summer into fall through both colors and scale. I cannot wait to wear this collection through fall!

The key to a casual summer

DSC0646 DSC0649 DSC0647 DSC0652 DSC0643

July is always an interesting month. The weather hovers in the 80’s and 90’s while stores begin to stock fall merchandise designed to keep you warm when temperatures fall below 50 degrees. As my eyes grow accustomed to a fall color palette due to my line of work, I start looking for warm weather clothing in colors which blend well with fall. This dress caught my eye at Target. For only $29.99 I could have a lightweight summer dress in a beautiful fall hue. Love! I also knew right away it would be perfect to pair with Twisted Silver’s new “Key” necklace.

Twisted Silver’s new “Key” necklace is a long, casual necklace which features an authentic vintage skeleton key. I love long necklaces in the summer because they spice up warm weather, casual ensembles. Summer is always a difficult season for dressing since the weather is so hot! Twisted Silver’s new “Key” necklace is the ultimate key to adding style during the summer when wearing lightweight, warm weather clothing. Love!

Since we have fog in the morning here in the San Francisco Bay Area, this denim jacket topped off the casual look. Of course, the jacket comes off as soon as the fog burns off and temperatures soar past 80 degrees!
