Wednesday Wants: Trendy Fall Items

boots jewelry and clothes for fall 2016 office wear



I can't get enough of fall items right now. The rich colors and fabrics that are trending this season are just so beautiful! One of my favorite things about fall is getting to scope out the new fall trends. I think we can all agree, fall fashion is definitely the most fun & anticipated!

I am particularly in love with royal blue & tortoise shell this season. I also want to update my jewelry for fall - focus more on statement earrings and bracelets. I love the idea of statement earrings with a top knot as a work day staple this fall.

Have you started shopping for fall yet? What items or trends are catching your eye? I would love to know, so feel free to leave me a comment below! (... unintentional rhyming there. sorry about that! ha)

How stunning is this cobalt blue blazer?! A great way to shake yourself out of a work style rut is to pick one really bold item and style your outfit around that.


I love how well these statement earrings from Olive & Piper go with this look. The 'mixed media' in the earrings really makes them stand out as an item. The druzy stone, the pearl stone, and the crystal are such an unexpected (and gorgeous!) combo!

If you aren't familiar with O&P yet, you are going to LOVE them. High quality jewelry at affordable prices... it's basically the greatest. Until March 25th you can get 15% off any of their products by entering OliveLegalLee at checkout.

Bring on the last day of the work week! Have a great weekend everyone! Oh, and don't forget to come back on Monday because I've got the second post in my "Style Inspiration" series!

Top 5 Jewelry Trends for 2016 (plus a 15% off deal!)

trends-in-jewellery-2016

This week I've been focusing a lot on jewelry, which had me thinking about the trends in jewelry this year. As such, I decided that for today's post I would provide a list of the top 5 trends in jewelry for 2016! Be sure to scroll through my favorite 'picks' for each trend, and you'll see a discount for 15% off some items!

Top 5 Jewelry Trends for 2016

1. Statement Earrings:  

Statement Earrings were all the rage at New York Fashion Week this year. Everyone from Dolce & Gabbana, to Oscar De La Renta, to Gucci used statement earrings to complete their Spring/Summer looks.

Some of my favorite statement earrings available right now are:

One // Two // Three // Four // Five // Six


2. Chokers:  

It is no secret that the 90's have been back in style for some time now. This year, the 90's trend is extending into accessories, with chokers and amulet style necklaces making a big comeback. The 2016 chokers and amulets are all about the material - be that silks, or heavy metals. Below are my favorites:

One // Two // Three // Four // Five // Six



 3. Body Chains:

These have been in style for the past year or so, but only now are they making an appearance as something to be worn not just to the beach or to a night club. The materials are also getting thicker and more bold - a far cry from the delicate gold chains we saw everywhere last summer. Below are my top picks:

2016-trend-jewelry-body-chains
One // Two // Three // Four


4. Anklets:


Again with the 90's! I think this may be the trend I most excited about for this spring/summer. I loved wearing anklets in the 90's and feel nostalgic just thinking about getting to wear them again. Though I do think this time my choices will have less "ying-yangs" and half heart "BFF" charms haha. Below are my favorites:
2016-jewelry-trend-anklets


One // Two // Three // Four // Five // Six


5. Brooches:
 
I also really love this trend. Brooches always make me think of grace & class. I love that what has been seen as a 'grandma trend' is back in style. I will definitely be sporting brooches on my work looks this year. Below are my favorite brooches:
2016-jewelry-trend-brooches

 One // Two  // Three // Four // Five // Six

I hope you all have a great weekend ahead! In sticking with the simplicity theme thats been guiding my fashion choices lately, I'm going to try to have a relaxing weekend (a rarity for me). I hope to catch up on some work and start reading
a book I've been dying to read - A Discovery of Witches. Anyone read it?! What did you think?

See you all back here on Monday for another outfit post!
In the meantime, be sure to follow me on instagramtwitter & bloglovin!

Wednesday Wants - Black & White

Striped Dress (under $15!!)
Scarf (love the pom pom detailing!)

Happy Wednesday readers! Maybe its been the overload of bright things I have been interested in lately, but this week I have found myself completely drawn to all things black and white. The clean crisp look of black and white is often forgotten in the summer months, but I still love it! 

I have had a busy week so far - my schedule has been full of dance rehearsals as I have a big dance show at the end of the month. I hope your week has been going well too! If you need a little chuckle just look at how bad the photoshopping of the striped dress image is... no human arm should look like that!! I almost didn't include it simply because of that image; but I love the dress so I guess we are stuck with this freaky looking picture ha.

Also, just a reminder that I made a LegalLee Blonde Facebook page this weekend, and would love if you could "like" it here
