guest post: with a c.h.

Today I bring you one of my all time favorite ladies, Christin. We met in NYC and we talk practically every day. She is the sweetest most genuine person with a sense of humor that I envy. She also works at BaubleBar. So my jealousy continues with her employee discount. 

Hey there peeps, it's Christin from with a C.H. I'm thrilled to be with you all today, subbing in for Julia who is just too fab right now moving to pay attention to you all. I, however, am not too fabulous.

Julia asked me to share some of my favorite BaubleBar pieces with you for the Summer, since I work there and all, so I've rounded up a few things that you all must own. Must.

1. Cut Crystal Strand / 2. Black Drusy Drops / 3. Pink Triad Collar

4. Lime Drusy Cascade / 5. Ocean Punk Set / 6. Chevron Charm Bracelet

I love the Cut Crystal Strand a lot, mostly because it can be dressed up or down, worn in a casual or formal setting and friends, you can't beat that. Same goes for the Black Drusy Drops. Now, the Pink Triad Collar is just plain fun for summer and we love brights in the office. The Lime Cascade earrings lend the perfect punch to an otherwise tame look and everyone, read everyone, needs the Ocean Punk set! I die for these blue and green beauties. And my most favorite thing of all of the Chevron Charm bracelet. I need it. It's perfect for layering and is just plain amazing!

Thanks for having me Julia!

Who will be shopping with me? These are all fab. Thanks Christin! xo

baubles + work

Login to Pinterest, open any fashion magazine, or browse your favorite blog and chances are you'll find gorgeous statement necklaces, rings and various baubles.

But how can you wear them so they are work appropriate?

I've compiled three looks that blend baubles, fashion and sophistication. 

Look #1: For the corporate fashionista. 

You: ...work in a sea of black, like on Capitol Hill, and if you wear pink one might think you're the new Elle Woods. Fear not, there is a Bauble for you! 

Dress//Shoes//Necklace

Look #2: The casual worker bee

You: ...work in a casual environment, possibly advertising or marketing. You like to be on trend, but not too trendy that you cause a commotion. You like color, and try and steer clear of black.

Pants//Wedges//Shirt//Necklace

Look #3: Anything goes!

You: ...aren't afraid to experiment. You like classic lines, and pops of color, but find yourself drawn to animalistic prints and flirty fashion.

Skirt//Flats//Blouse//Bracelet//Necklace

Here's to happy shopping and finding the Bauble that's right for you and your lifestyle.
