Something Old, Something New

Candy Cane Jane

Happy Holidays guys!!! I'm sticking to my love for black and white in this post with a generous splash of color.  The jumper dress is incredibly old, I bought it maybe 10 years ago.  However, it managed to hide in the back of my closet, avoided being donated to the Goodwill.

When I initially came back across this dress, I can't lie I thought hideous, but honestly at one point in my life this was my absolute favorite dress.  I loved the color and print, and the fact that it bubbled at the knees was a trend that I died for in 2005.  I figured since I once loved this dress, I could surely modernize it a bit making it work for my style and taste now.  And that's what I did.  I added a black and white striped sweater, a choker (which is very in style at the moment), and a pair of brogues.  What do you guys think??

Get to Know - From St. Xavier

A familiar brand because it is carried by mega online retailer, Asos, as well as Anthropologie. From St. Xavier is an accessories label hailing from the beaches of Syndey, Australia. Their range of collectible jewelry and clutches blends semi precious stones, crystals, glass beads, natural metals and hand banding which is all inspired by Australia’s mix of bohemian and subtle relaxed glamour. All From St. Xavier jewelry is Nickel and Lead Free, and because all jewelry and accessories are handmade, each piece slightly differs.
