Chokers: The IT accessory of the moment

Good afternoon lovelies! As summer is right around the corner for some, and for others already here, I have the perfect accessory for this summer. When you're not sure what to throw on with your favorite t-shirt and jeans combo or structured summer dress, this accessory was popular in the 90's, and has made a major comeback recently. Thankfully it's been glammed up and ready for the runway or a trip to the grocery store at a moment's notice: the choker.

Celebrity Choker Sightings

 

This choker is sleek yet unusual and eye-catching. It flows effortlessly with her dress and overall style for that night.

 

Funky and cool; something that seems like we had it when we were younger and want it again so badly.

 

An elegant and classy example of how to wear a choker and still look damn good, AKA: the epitome of Angelina Jolie.


Sweet, simple, adorable; everything Michelle Williams embodies.

$50 or Less

 


Cool yet feminine and oh-so-tough...in gold.



Sweet and elegant; perfect for every day or that gorgeous LBD.

 


 The color and texture just makes it look badass, even if it's paired with just a white t-shirt and pair of jeans. It's all the toughness you'll need.


 


 Bohemian chic and oh so gorgeous and versatile.



This choker is simple yet incredibly on-trend with all the tribal prints popping up everywhere. This is the way to wear tribal accessories without clashing with your colorful top and funky pants. It will be the anchor to every outfit, and for only $5 you can definitely afford that AND a new pair of shoes to match!

Sample Sale 2012


Good evening lovelies! It's been a while, and I'm glad to be back with one of my favorite things; sample sales! A sample sale that I've missed for the last few years because of work or other commitments I was finally able to make last night and will DEFINITELY make tomorrow morning; the Stewart + Brown sample sale here in Ventura, CA. Stewart + Brown has a sample sale 4 times a year in their warehouse across from the Wharf. 

For those that don't know, sample sales are amazing events where a line will sell their imperfect items from production, samples that were used in the showrooms and damaged goods for a mere fraction of their regular cost. And the best part is it's open to the general public. Tomorrow it's going on from 12-5pm, so if you're in Ventura then stop on over to check out Stewart + Brown's items as well as Betty Belts and see what goodies you can score.
