We are back, belles, with more eggs-ellent gift ideas…this time with a focus on accessories and the fellas in our lives (can’t forget the poor dears!).  Get ready to do some clickin’ and buyin’!

For the “techie” in your life…or really pretty much anyone over the age of 10 with opposable thumbs…a phone accessory or two would be sure to please. Put a spring-y twist on it and you have yourself a perfect little Easter treat…
IMG_2644This sweet little beauty is from Zazzle…and they have like a thousand-plus more options! Good luck with that decision!

And because small mobile accessories tend to “grow legs” and disappear, just about anyone would be happy seeing one or two of these amongst the jelly beans:

Find these at Urbanears

Next, remember this post on tassels? Well, how about a fun, Easter-egg-colored tassel from Clare V. to add a little sass to a spring bag?…IMG_2594Perfect to nestle down in the teen-belle’s basket with all that chocolate…and peeps, of course!

And any belle would love to have this little beauty on her arm…
IMG_2640…doesn’t the pink just scream spring? It’s from Tory Burch (surprise)…available at Nordstrom

Or how about this on the wrist…
IMG_2657…the Michael Kors Golden Runway watch with a pink dial! We found it on Amazon at an awesome price! Click and see for yourself!

 

Now, for the fellas…we kinda like the idea of sprucing up his wardrobe with some spring-y options…and swimsuits are always in order this time of year!

For the little crowd, how about these Island Board Shorts from Gap…IMG_2612

or maybe this preppy little option from j crew…IMG_2613

And to dress him up a bit, we are loving this big-boy look…
IMG_2658…the Secret Wash gingham shirt, also from j crew comes in every color of the rainbow! Belles just love options!!

Now for the big fellas…maybe a little spring-y wardrobe addition or two…

From Southern Tide’s “Easter Shop”…and available for all you local belles at our fave men’s store, Rush Wilson…IMG_2611
…how about a snazzy shirt (or two)

IMG_2610…or a “not-your-everyday-ho-hum” tie? He will thank you when the ladies can’t take their eyes off!

And finally…we saved the absolute best accessory for last, belles…this might be a little something we “spring” for just for ourselves…
IMG_2617To. Die. For. Available at Amazon, this is the ultimate mode of transport for any belle ready to celebrate spring in style!!

Go for it, belles!  Times-a-wastin’!

Bauble Bar has done it again with this bracelet…

IMG_1217

Old-fashioned pearls raised to a whole ‘nother level!!

Wear it stacked to the nines for a pearl-infused arm party, let it stand alone as a modern statement piece, or layer it with a gold bangle for a just touch of interest to any outfit…perfect for every occasion and ideal for travel.

Now, in case y’all are getting ready to throw a hissy fit because this particular bauble is wait-listed, just settle down and take a gander at this option…

IMG_1310

This one could do the trick as well…on its own or as yet another addition to that arm party. Belles know…the more, the merrier! Order this one now, and when the other little latecomer arrives, they can party together…or alone…belles love choices!

BONUS!!!  Bauble Bar is offering 25% off through the 16th!  Do. Not. Wait!

Here are some styling suggestions…

the full-on race-to-the-elbow…shown here with watch from Michael Kors, a selection from David Yurman, and a gold bangle.  Holla!

For the more petite belle who can’t quite carry so much on her dainty little arm…

IMG_1313

pair it with a simple, delicate option like this one from local designer, Charme Silkiner

So give these pearls a whirl, belles…

Smitten for kittens…kitten heels that is…feline foot candy

Diane von Furstenberg, fashion, kitten heels, Michael Kors, Muse Shoe Studio, shoes, Sole Society, Vince Camuto

The latest kitten heel trend has us belles positively giddy. This low, dainty heel is such a wonderful feminine option and a nice change from the sky high stilts that have been in the forefront recently. While we love a good stiletto, a kitten heel works so easily with almost every outfit imaginable, is practical but pretty, and is the perfect option for long-term wear. These heels are flattering to the ankle and lengthen the calf. We have selected a few that piqued our interest and caused us to make a little extra room in the closet.

Now, because we’ve hit the warmer months, finally(!!), we are leaning toward sandals (the tootsies need a little vitamin D too!!), and we have been mighty partial to Vince Camuto lately. The selection of styles has been really on-trend and they are actually comfortable to boot!

The Hilarie is a darling strappy kitten that is subtle enough to wear day or night. Flattering, feminine, flirty…fabulous!
Find it here, here and our favorite local shoe boutique, Muse Shoe Studio.

The next is also a Vince Camuto . This pair is frisky, fresh and just a touch edgy. Adore the snake skin heel. And the metallic strap seems to change from silver to gold based on what you are wearing. Available at Nordstrom, and they are 40% off so scurry along and get a pair!!! We also think they can be day-to-night and the suede front strap makes them cross over into cooler weather with ease.

Now we know some of you are timid about your tootsies and prefer a covered toe option. Not to fear, we are here to please all of our belles!

Sole Society is a great site for shoes, and we have had great luck with fashionable options at awesome price points! The Jenn is one such shoe. Available in a wide array of colors including a divine gunmetal grey. For now, though we decided our wardrobes just need a lil’ pop and the coral was just calling our names. Our tootsies did a happy dance when they slipped into the soft suede and couldn’t wait to prance around town.

Couldn’t you just eat ’em up?!?!

The next pump is a basic in our ever-so-humble opinion. We firmly believe that animal print is neutral and these kittens are ready to roar. Thank you Diane Von Furstenberg. These are timeless and every belle needs at least one pair of animal print pumps in her wardrobe. Get these wild critters here.

And we would be remiss if we didn’t show you this last pair by Michael Michael Kors. A t-strap (we are quite fond of t-strap) adds interest and style…and keeps your feet from looking gargantuan.  Dare we say that they also VERY much resemble a certain shoe that is made by Valentino??? Classy, chic, and elegant, these would be a great addition to any of our closets. Order them from Nordstrom .

So go on now, treat your tootsies…they’ve earned it!
