Loves, I’m a big believer that fashion can be magic; it can change your mood, life, and make you smile. There are outfits that are true magic,and while I usually use that word to describe an evening outfit, this jumpsuit fits the bill. Part tribute (Ziggy), part menswear (workwear jumpsuit), part magic (Cosmos), these are the perfect combination of sass and fashion. Wear them with sneakers for running around, wear them with heels for a night out. I’ve worn them with a shirt underneath (I love it with a stripe, but it looks great with a solid as well!) Everytime I wear it, people (men and women) comment and ask where I got it, proving that simple can make a statement and that fashion is magic. And loves, all Friday needs is some magic!

There are certain fashion truths we get told: No White After Labor Day (some of my thoughts on that here), There are age limits on trends (my rebuttal of that here) and that you shouldn’t mix red and pink. I don’t have a link to tell you what I feel about it, but I have some pics. Loves, forget what you’ve heard: this is my new favorite combo. This color blocking scheme has slowly been popping up on dresses, in pant and shirt combos, shoes, skirts, all over your social media, and all over magazines. So, like any team player, I tried it out for you. And loves, please let me tell you this won’t be the only time (I really did just order red pants, I can bet you’ll see this color blocking combination again). Red and Pink are related, so it makes sense that they might go together, and while I love the bright pink from this Zara Sweater; this red//pink combo will best just as stunning with softer versions of the shades. I love the sweater and skirt, top and pant, color blocked dresses, shoes, etc. To add a pop of fun I paired my red//pink combo with color blocked Gucci socks (yes, we’re slowly making color blocking our thing), and gold shoes. Gold goes with everything, FYI.

I’d love to know: are you wearing red and pink together?

Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope that you are being treated! (We chatted self love here, and last week we talked vintage jewelry here)Today we keep with our theme, but we chat about one of my favorite jewelry stores, Platt Boutique Jewelry (make sure you check out their webstite Platt Boutique Jewelry, and follow them on Instagram @plattboutiquejewelry).

Platt specializes in vintage jewelry, and have some of the best Victorian and Art Deco pieces I’ve seen!

Investment Piece, where to shop, vintage jewelry, Art Deco, platt boutique jewelry, Ca, TXInvestment Piece, fashion, blogger, vintage jewelry, Victorian, where to shop, Platt boutique Jewelry, Ca, TX

Platt Boutique was founded by a brother/sister combo and the staff is one of the kindest/most knowledgable I have ever met. They have a great selection of pieces, at all price points, and work with you to ensure that you get the perfect piece for you!

There’s a chance that you’ve seen Platt Boutique’s goodies on the red carpet, they are sought out by stylists and celebrities alike!
Investment Piece, fashion, blogger, vintage jewelry, where to shop, Platt Boutique Jewelry, CA, TX

This is what I love about vintage jewelry: it’s classic, unique, and the quality is outstanding. The best part? The price is often incredibly reasonable. Platt has not only classic pieces, but “one of a kind” pieces that are show stoppers.

Platt’s Instagram (again, @plattboutiquejewelry) is one of the best follows; and Larry does his best to respond to all DMs! He’s a great resource, even if you simply have basic jewelry questions. Make sure that you keep up with Platt, while always available online, their brick and mortar is moving to a bigger location later this month!

Notice someone familiar on that sign? Yes, Platt Boutique Jewelry is related to one of my favorite vintage shops, The Kit Vintage! Larry, from Platt, and Robyn, from The Kit Vintage, are married and one of the best couples I know. Their shared space is a shopper’s dream: stunning clothes, jewels, and friendly staff! If you need a refresher on The Kit Vintage you can read all about them here.

So: What do you have your eye on from Platt Boutique?

Loves, we know I love cheeky fashion (recent examples include here and here), so you know that I would love a great (fake) nip slip! (They happen, let’s own it and celebrate them!) This shirt is cheeky, fun, and paired with the corset trend, it’s spot on! The best thing about this nip slip? Part of the shirt’s proceeds go to women/children’s charities. You’re having fun with fashion and helping others? That’s a great way to Friday!

(Side note: these Mother jeans are my fave and go with everything, I love the slides-classic and easy, and I can’t wait to style this Vintage Fendi corset in more than one way!)

Treats!

Investment Piece, fashion, blogger, treats, treat yoself, Ca, TX

I will say it again for the loves in the back, this is a great month to show love, most especially to yourself! And a great way to show love? Treats!! While I usually go for the shoe kind, I have a soft spot for gummies and chocolates. They aren’t a complete hit to your diet, and these upgrades are a fun (and delicious way) to share love!

Investment Piece, fashion, style, blogger, treats, CA, TX

I have to confess, I love Scotch (and yes, gentlemen, it’s super sexy when you order it). So I ADORE these dark chocolates with real scotch inside them! It’s like a double treat!

Investment Piece, fashion, blogger, treats, CA, TX

Another fave? Champagne and Rose’ gummies! Sophisticated without the guilt, and they are super fun! Superfina does have some gummies that have a little bit of champagne in them–or you can make your own!

Investment Piece, fashion, blogger, treat yourself, treats, CA, TX

It’s a fun and easy treat! Just take your favorite gummy, some champagne (I used the can as it was super easy!)

Pour the champagne over the gummies and let sit for at least 12 hours. The gummies will absorb the champagne.
Investment Piece, fashion, style, blogger, treat, CA, TX

Some of the gummies may lose a little bit of their structure, but they will be amazingly delicious and a tad bit boozy!

These didn’t last long at all!

What are some of your favorite treats?

Wearing all black is such a fashion staple (or cliche) that it seems almost crazy to write about it. However, loves, know what sells all black? Attitude. Attitude is inherent in all black, so I know you have it, sometimes though–you have to kick it up a notch. Meaning? Leather, cutout shoes, and the wherewithal to flaunt it. Cliche? Not on our watch. The word you’re looking for is attitude!

There’s a school of thought that separates fashion into “high” and “everyday” (or ready to wear). I don’t really apply to that school, our lives are spent in the everyday, so why not wear what makes you happy? And loves, fashion makes me happy! Especially dresses like this: fun details, go great with any shoe from heels to sneakers, and comfy enough for any errand. A great bag that’s big enough for your life, but not boring. And shoes that nod to both. I love that the prints don’t match but flow; and loves, the trick there is to stay within the same color family. High fashion at the grocery store? I say yes. I promise it makes Monday easier!

There’s something about this vintage Gucci top that just makes me want to lounge. It goes great with jeans, pants, skirts–but I love it in this slightly 70’s nod with a leather skirt and peep toes. The low v doesn’t need any help to stand out (you could layer it over a turtleneck or shirt if you needed to), but a little red lip never hurt no one. Lounging, parties, or a dinner out–this will do all the talking you need!

Happy Friday!! Xo RA

I love a cheeky nod with my fashion (yes, bad pun intended). Pieces that have a personality, stand out, are fun, and go with anything. This clutch was a holiday gift to myself, and I couldn’t be more grateful! It goes with everything, yet makes a statement. And I love this eye shirt, subtle yet fun (and yes, I have a thing for eyes). And together–just cheeky! I couldn’t resist the trend of fishnets with jeans (I have to admit, they do just go together) and some of my fave Gucci loafers. What’s making you smile today?
