Style, Decor & More: July 2014

Sparkle On With Fab Embellishments!

I just had to share these beautiful statement making embellishments with you! Annaleece by DeVries creates stunning jewelry featuring lustrous shine and crystals made with SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS. Each piece is hypoallergenic, lead- and nickel-free and will never tarnish! I don't know about you, but I've purchased jewelry in the past that tarnished and now sits in a bag in the back of my jewelry nook waiting for a bath in silver cleaner. Sound familiar? The fab finds from Annaleece range from perfectly playful to elegantly chic, these treasures bridge the gap between fine elegance and statement jewelry. Best of all, many of these fab finds are now on sale for under $10! Sparkle on, style maven!

Shop the Look: Wine Country

If you're planning a relaxing weekend in wine country, you will want to dress in comfortable Napa Valley couture that is casual, effortless, and chic. Zulily has created a one-stop shop with everything you need to create your own look for touring the vineyards and visiting the wineries. Below are just a few of my faves!  


Gray Maxi Dress, $24.99 (Reg. $60)
Casual and comfy, this maxi dress flaunts a sleeveless silhouette and a side slit for ease of movement. Take along a wrap or cardi for when the sun sets.

A dazzling agate pendant puts earth-inspired style front and center, and the durable gold chain accentuates its boho-chic beauty.

Boasting a signature flip lock closure, metal feet and gold-toned hardware,  effortlessly carry all your essentials in style with this one haute handbag.

MILANI Beauty Box Splendor!

I'm soooooo excited! I just had to share this wonderful box of beauty samples I received from MILANI today! The colors are absolutely GORGEOUS! 

Here's my plan: I really want to share these AMAZING products with several lucky readers (if you're interested)!  First, I will need to swatch the shadows for my review. In order to keep the sampling process sterile and sanitary, I will purchase trial applicators to use for sampling the shadows. After the shadows are swatched and reviewed, I will share the love!  Hopefully nobody will mind a mark across the top of the shadows.

Searching for a free-spirited accessory to mix with other beautiful elements from your wardrobe accessories?

The fashion world is having a boho moment, and I'm all about it!  The older I get the more I can appreciate the flowing skirts and loose peasant tops that are forgiving of my less than youthful figure. Maxi skirts flatter every figure and hide a multitude of sins - comfy too!  Pair an embroidered peasant top with a beautifully carved turquoise necklace, or call it a day in an easy-to-wear maxi and tee with seed beads and a silver wide braid ring for an effortless look full of worldly vibes.

Dorm Room Essentials!

Disclosure: This post may contain affiliate links for sites that Style, Decor & More feels are useful, reputable and safe for its readers. Please refer to the Disclosure Policy for more details.


Moving into a dorm room can be a drastic change from the comforts of home. Make the transition to dorm life easier by adding a few special touches to freshen 

Colorful Bedding
Instantly transform any dorm room with an attractive comforter like the Twin Comforter set shown above. It is bright and cheerful and comes complete with a sham and pillow, and will provide a polished look.    

Wall Decals 
Not sure if you can paint those dreary dorm walls? Wall decals will add character and are easy to apply. Decals can be reused too. Remove them carefully at the end of the year, and you can reuse them in your next dorm room. Zulily has this adorable black chandelier wall decal and four pages of other wall decals here!  

Suede Perfection! A Year-Round Must Have!

*****The giveaway has ended, but you can still snag this HENRI BRACELET by HENRI LOU at a special low price! Check out the timeless and classic MUST HAVE HERE You will see why JULIA ROBERTS and TAYLOR SWIFT are HENRI LOU FANS!***** 


From the moment I first saw Henri Lou handbags, I fell head over heels! Suede handbags have always been a long-time favorite of mine and when I saw the vast array of colorful arm candy choices and unmistakable craftsmanship (Henri Lou bags are handsewn), I knew I had to have one. Perhaps its the vintage feel of suede or the undeniably buttery-soft texture, but there's just no other material out there that comes even close to the relaxed look and feel of quality suede.  “Extra” TV recently featured HENRI LOU as a new hot Hollywood trend and it has been showcased in Woman’s Wear Daily numerous times. 

What makes Henri Lou bags so unique? Well, as I noted above, their bags are handsewn. In today's world filled with mass production, this is a distinctive quality which sets Henri Lou apart from other hand bag designers. Henri Lou bags are also made to order just for YOU. That's right. YOU design your dream bag by selecting your favorite style, preferred material (leather or suede), the color, choice of handle color, and hardware (gold or silver). You won't believe your eyes when you see the several stunning colors available from the bright and bold to the earthy and subdued. I know. Henri Lou is AMAZING!

My gorgeous, made-for-me bag, is the HL Mini-Suede. It is a stunning sewn split suede bag with bolo hand braided leather rope handles and silver "O" rings. The bag features a zip-pocket on the exterior and the interior is lined with a durable canvas-type fabric that offers a spacious zip pocket pouch for your keys, wallet, and other valuables. There is also a magnetic closure to secure the flap. 

After getting close and personal over the last week, my Henri Lou bag and I have become inseparable. It has quickly become my go-to bag for every day.

Suede accessories are no longer limited to the fall/winter season. Designers and fashionistas now consider suede to be a year round must-have accessory with no seasonal boundaries. I couldn't agree more! 

Since I always say a picture is worth a thousand words, below are photos of my Henri Lou bag. You can see for yourself how beautiful she is!
