Ciara's style doesn't typically catch my eye, but this look is so pitch perfect that I had to anoint it an s+s Style Moment. This was selected as InStyle.com's Look of the Day on August 27th and I couldn't agree more ... in an Equipment blouse, Rag & Bone leather leggings, Christian Louboutin heels and a Givenchy bag, Ciara is the epitome of effortless chic.

Her subtle yet luxe accessories - hoop earrings, slightly oversized watch, and statement shades - are just right for her casual look. And don't let me get started on her hair! I love the soft waves and the bold blonde highlights (this picture is coming with me this weekend to Ted Gibson.)

Lust of the Week | DANNIJO Court Pendant Necklace

Reading my daily email from WHOWHATWEAR on Tuesday introduced me to the fabulous Court pendant necklace from ultra stylish jewelry brand DANNIJO. As soon as I saw it I immediately knew it would be my lust of the week.

The handmade pendant is shown in onyx, magenta and clear Swarovski stones (it also comes in deep umber, fiery orange opal and clear stone) and is a beautiful yet understated accessory. I can see this working extremely well with a menswear inspired outfit, which is why it first caught my eye.

The pendant retails for $320 and can be purchased via the DANNIJO website. If you're looking for a less expensive option, Ann Taylor has a few versions of their own that are just as stylish and have price tags well under $100.

Hi dollface! I'm in the middle of a very busy period at work so unfortunately posts will be limited. Don't worry, I'll be back to my regularly scheduled posting routine after Labor Day. In the meantime you can always follow me on tumblr where I share chic moments from my daily life or on Pinterest to see what's inspiring me today.

Hope you're taking the time to enjoy the absolutely amazing weather we're having in New York City this week. I so wish I was on vacation so that I could spend all my time outside. I'd love to hear what you're up to so please tell me in the comments!

Lust of the Week | Sam Edelman Alvin Slipper Flats in Leopard

I went shopping with my sister on Tuesday at Bloomingdale's in SOHO. Neither of us can pass up a sale so first stop was the shoe department for the end of season sale (scored an amazing deal on two pairs of sandals and will share those later.) Fall shoes were already on display and we couldn't help but plan some future purchases. Both of us adored these Sam Edelman Alvin Smoking Slipper Flats - I went for the leopard print and she loved an all gray snakeskin. Can't stop thinking about (and planning outfits for) this shoe, which means I have to take a trip back to Bloomies to pick them up asap. Can't wait to pair them with these red skinnies from ASOS Curve.
