Jaqx Fashion Diary-The Haute Boutique

I love looking at Instagram pictures for fashion and accessory inspiration. I recently stumbled upon this great inexpensive accessories website called The Haute Boutique. I ordered one necklace and earring set ($28) from them a few weeks ago and absolutely love my purchase. Great company, great website, great packaging! I even wore this necklace on NBC's Today Show this past Friday morning and received a lot of compliments on the necklace. Oh and did I mention its reversible!

They have a TON of products for under $20, and some even under $10! Definitely a site worth checking out.

Jaqx Fashion Diary- My obsession with 'Arm Candy'

My husband and I bought our first home a few months ago. Upon moving, I decided to go through all my clothes and accessories and sell, give away, or donate a lot of my older jewelry that I really wasn't wearing anymore. My personal style has changed a lot since my Miami days living in SOBE. I tend to wear a more casual but sophisticated bohemian layered look. My current obsession is with stack bracelets and watches. Here are some of my recent purchases for style inspiration.

Jaqx Fashion Diary- My love for Tory Burch

I have recently been a bit obsessed with some of Tory Burch's items. Once you buy your first pair of ballerina flats, it's hard to not want to buy several other pairs. So comfy, yet so chic..and perfect for a stylish mommy ;) Here are a few of my recent purchases.

1. The first pic is my first pair of ballet flats in a nude pink. Goes with everything! I put them next to my daughters newborn ballet slippers and just thought it made for an adorable image.

2. Tory continental zipper wallet, iPad case, and cosmetic pouch.

3. Tory keychain

I'm eyeing a few other color flats, a belt and a pair of wedges... Tory's leather goods are made really well, and will last you a VERY long time. Can't go wrong with investing in a few nice leather good pieces.

Jaqx Fashion Diary- Maternity Fashion (Marshall's Finds)

My husband and I have a cocktail dinner party to go to this Friday night...and Im 36 weeks pregnant! For once in my life when I actually say that I have nothing to wear...it's true ;)

So out I went hunting for a fashionable dress, something that did not make me look like a marshmallow or a pumpkin. I really hate investing money in maternity clothes because I know I won't get a ton of future use out of those pieces. I've been very lucky and have only had to buy a handful of maternity items; I've found ways to make a lot of my regular clothes work. It probably has something to do with the fact that I have a lot of bohemian style clothes tucked away in my closet. I stopped at Marshall's to see what I could find. Within minutes I found a black cocktail dress (not maternity wear) that was very 'Versace-ish' looking. I just chose a dress that was a few sizes up from what I would normally wear if I wasn't pregnant and that seemed to work! The dress was by London Times and priced at $29.99! SCORE and sold! I'll pair it with nice jewelry and heels and do a bold red lip and smokey eye for a nighttime look.

I snagged a few other items for our daughter while I was there. Some of the items won't fit her for a while, but who can say no to an adorable party dress?! I mean...when else in your life can you get away with wearing hot pink tule and still look adorable? ;)
