My Blue Heaven

I know, I know. Stripes on Monday's post AND today? I swear it wasn't intentional - unless I just declare this Stripes Week...

What Jen's Wearing:

Heritage 21 Tank Dress - Forever 21

Striped Blazer - Forever 21

Coral Vision Wedges - Etienne Aigner

Elegant Crystal Fan Necklace - c/o Sorrelli

Wendy Brandes Exclamation Point Ring 

Don't ask me why I bought a blazer when its 95 degrees out... Even I find it strange the amount of outerwear in stores lately. Talk about jumping the shark - me included.

Regardless of my weakness for stripes, the blazer will make the rounds in my wardrobe year round.

I don't normally like to wear plain dresses unless I can compensate for it with lots of jewelry. And by the looks of it, a neon rainbow threw up on my arm...

Bracelets (from left to right)

Neon pink braided bracelet - won with tickets from an arcade (Serious. I played lots of Skee Ball for those tickets).

Neon rhinestone bracelet - Rachel Roy

Purple Lanyard Bracelet - DIY!

Fantastically Spastic

New changes in my life call for a "happiness investment." I landed a new job, so to celebrate I took the plunge...

Black Mosaic Necklace - gift from my mom

... and bought this AMAZINGLY PINKTACULAR New Bond Street Florence bag by Kate Spade! For weeks, I've been coveting and gazing at it's beauty, contemplating whether or not I should buy it. But, I made a promise to myself that if I did get this job, I would get it. And so now it's mine!

While the outside features a pyramid stud closure, and the pink is well... just rad, and the interior boasts a black and white Japanese floral print by the late artist Florence Broadhurst.

Oh, and I'm equally obsessed with my Exclamation Point ring designed by Wendy Brandes, jewelry designer/fashion blogger extraordinaire. If you haven't seen her designs, then something is wrong with you. Check out her fantastically fashionable jewelry on her site as well as her blog!

Yup... all types of happy in this outfit.
