When I was five years old, I loved pink and wanted to be a ballerina when I grew up. Well, those pink-loving days are long gone, and my clumsy feet nixed any chance I had at being a ballerina, but I can still rock a tulle skirt!

I love mixing hard and soft textures together, so I paired this feminine skirt with tough-girl accents, including lots of gold hardware and a moto jacket.

While I do my best to stay up-to-date with current news, I’m not actually toting around a real newspaper — it’s a clutch!

How awesome is this bracelet? It’s hard to see in the photos, but it’s actually two-tone with gold and gunmetal. The zipper is fully functional, too, so you can zip or unzip it to change up the look. It’s also lined on the inside with soft velvet so the zipper won’t scratch your skin!

I’m trying out a new, bolder lip color today — yay or nay? At first I was apprehensive because I’ve always stuck to neutral lip glosses, but the look is growing on me. What’s your favorite lip shade? Feel free to share your favorite brands/colors in the comments below!
