Okay, almost caught up with sharing my LBB goodies! Sorry they aren't sorted by bag, but I'm sure everyone just wants to see the pretties. :) This is probably 2 bags, and a few items from past bags that I forgot to post.
The Angelina! People swarmed over the tan one (and then, oddly enough, several people ended up selling or swapping them on Facebook) but its all about black for me, baby! I consider this is the more work appropriate Mazzie cousin. I like that it doesn't have rhinestones...the Mazzie rhinestones were a bit much for me. This is slightly more toned down and useful, yet still edgy and beats my more professional bags on more casual days.

Detail. I sat with superglue and a toothpick to make sure the studs are
stuck on super tight! |
|
Yay, back zippers! Always need a place for my iPhone. |
Oh, my lovely. I've loved this Steve Madden black foldover crossbody even before it was LBB, when I saw a girl carrying it while waiting in line at Disneyland. I stared at this bag for a solid 20 minutes in line and tried to find it when I got home, but it was more than I wanted to spend on a bag. Then it shows up on LBB! :) Bag fate.

SM black foldover, retail $68. |
|
Oh gold clasp and herringbone lining. How I love you. |
|
Inside. Still loving large zippers on smaller bags! |
Finally shipped a
Deux Lux coin pouch! I can't resist a great pink glitter. Glad I waited, I love it way more than the dot ones that have been on the site previously. I have no clue what I'm going to use this for but I like the prettiness. The hardware on this is surprisingly heavy! And the zipper is almost a neon orange-pink. I love sparkly things that burn my eyes out.

While I like this Cejon ruched scarf, it turns out I already have a seafoam/mint colored scarf already. Soooo this one will go onto my swap page. :) It's a very nice scarf and is great for spring...bright and pastel and light and airy.

I can't wait to try this OWP wearable candle in dahlia...I was able to smell the lovely rose and lychee fragrance as soon as I opened my LBB! While the candle isn't very large, it is beautifully packaged and it smells fantastic. It also came with a wooden spatula and a pretty box of matches. This would be a nice gift, I have another in a gift bag that I will probably ship. I hope the gifted scented candle smells nice, too.

Anti-blemish gel...so sad that in my late twenties I need to use this type of product. I haven't tried it yet, but its a decent size and the smell doesn't weird me out so its already gotten a good start for me. :)
|
Skyn Iceland anti-blemish gel, retail $15. |
Oh, lovenailtree chain watch. I've been after you for so long, and I'm so happy I was able to get you this time around. I love you so much, I'm swapping for a second one so I can change up the chain. :) You play so nicely with my other arm candy.
|
lovenailtree chain watch, retail $36. |
And oh so much jewelry. I love jewelry, especially statement necklaces. Enjoy the parade of jewelry!
Fishbone chain is awesome. And this fishbone chain necklace is pretty great. I had to add some chain to make it longer...it served 2 purposes: the extra chain made the necklace hang lower in a more flattering place AND kept the fishbone chain from poking me in the neck and driving me crazy. It is bronze and black rhinestones and subtle yet edgy. I wore it to work today. And I'm shipping a second to frankenstein and make some bracelets. Yay.

Close up of the pretty chains. |
Apparently I have been liking the color of the year (emerald). Or at least, shades of the color of the year. This teal macrame necklace is a great piece for summer, very weighty and bold. Silly that you couldn't see the macrame closure on LBB. This mint bow is GORGEOUS. It actually has a light gold chain and setting with mint stones and clear rhinestones. The bow itself comes down to about 6 inches above my navel and looks great with a black top. Finally working in mint into my jewelry!

Like I said, I can't stay away from a good statement necklace. And this is peacock feather jewelry done right. I love this so much, I've worn it to work already with simple sold colored tops and a blazer and I've gotten so many compliments. I only hope the feathers don't get all tore up anytime soon. :)
|
Punch peacock feather and leaf necklace, retail $28. |
Love this next piece, this drop off jewel necklace is gorgeous. The smoky stones and asymmetry make it a very unique piece in my jewelry collection. Lately I've been letting my necklaces be the focus of my outfit and this one definitely stands out.
|
Punch drop off jewel necklace, retail $37. |
This hammered bib needs more love from me. I may just have way too many collar/bib style necklaces, but I guess I just can't get enough. :) Goal: wear this lovely this week.
|
All the Rage gold hammered statement necklace, retail $32. |
This super long Robert Rose pendant necklace is large and in charge. A nice break from the bib and collar bunch I've been getting lately. It is, however, not gold. And I am obsessed with gold. Still, its a lovely piece. That I have misplaced. And will hopefully find again sometime soon. :)
|
Robert Rose pendant necklace, retail $28. |
This gold peter pan necklace is beautiful, but I still can't figure out the best way to wear this style necklace. On me, it looks silly. Probably because I don't like collared shirts buttoned all the way up. This will probably be up for swap!
|
ZAD peter pan collar necklace in gold, retail $22. |
Yay! More bibs! At least this one has color, haha. I still wish I got the neutral version of this guy, but now that I see all these necklaces together, I probably would never get around to wearing it. This rainbow beauty of a bib of jewel tones though will see the light of day, and soon. Punch makes some amazing necklaces! And the curved threaders are also very nice, I like simple pieces.

Punch multi jewel necklace, retail $36 and By Philippe curved threader
earrings in gold, retail $35. |
LOVE both pieces! The
chain necklace came much more...coppery than I expected, but it is actually a very flattering color on me. It lies nicely below my collarbone. Yay. And the
black fox bracelet is very cute, and fits just right. I have the silver (and another black) in a gift bag that I may have to ship my way. Oh foxes. You be so cute.

FMG chain necklace, retail $16 and BCBGeneration black and gold fox
bracelet, retail $28. |
More Flea Market Girl time. The
handcuffs bracelet is very cute, subtle edgy. I have the necklace coming my way in a swap, too. The
Geranium cuff is sort of fragile, I'm afraid I'm going to snap it. I thought I saw some stress marks in the middle so I superglued the crap out of it to keep it strong. And finally, the
stone bracelet is very pretty, it will be great for summer. If my sister doesn't steal it first.

I love simple studs. And these are simplicity at its best. Since I've been rocking the statement necklace lately, these medium crystal studs are a perfect pairing. They are very shiny and have a nice 4 ball prong setting. These are my go-to studs right now!
|
By Philippe medium studs, retail $30. |
I originally picked out these
Geranium earrings because I was planning on taking it apart and turning all the little hammered bubble charms into a bracelet. Which I still might do. But these soft brushed gold earrings are actually quite lovely as is and aren't as huge as I expected. The verdict is still out on what will become of these!
|
Geranium earrings, retail $26. |
Ahh with the simple jewelry. I've seen bracelets like these before in chain stores, but the crystal bars were never set perfectly and they looked a little cheap and wonky. Not these! Very delicate yet edgy, these are great for work when I do a more grown up arm party.
|
W/A Studios crystal bar bracelets in black and cognac, retail $30 each. |
Heart threaders! I love this style earring, although I know they can
weird some people out. These are best used when you have piercings
that are absolutely completely healed, since the texture of the chain
may irritate your ears as you draw them through the holes. These chains
in particular though are very fine and the heart is super cute.
|
By Philippe skewed heart threaders, retail $35. |
These
pinwheel studs were much more delicate than I expected! Very thin yet
shiny and striped, they are very cute and I can hardly tell I'm wearing
them. I like their unique shape and will hopefully wear them soon.
