Needless to say, this roundup of jewelry should satisfy all your jewelry loving friends' sweet spot. Oh, you want to do a little shopping for yourself? Well don't let me get in your way! It will just be our little secret!

Holiday Gifts: The Beauty Lover



First things first, I don't even understand how it is possible to be talking about holiday gift guides already!  Time sure isn't slowing down for any of us so we had better get a jump start on the holiday shopping.  At this rate Christmas will be here next week!

This year I decided to stray from my typical gift guides of sorting options by person, but instead, I'll be sharing gift guides by interests.  I think this will give you so many more options for all those names on your shopping list.  As you can see, I decided to start with a category I definitely fall in, The Beauty Lover.  Some makeup and some skincare, some I've tried and some I'm hoping to try, you're sure to find the perfect beauty buy for everyone on your shopping list!

Check back each Wednesday through December for a new shopping guide in the Holiday Gift series!

Casual Glam


midi skirt

Shirt // Skirt // Jacket // Earrings // Bag // Lipstick // Shoes


I'm always into mixing some feminine pieces with a few casual/comfortable ones (that means I steal my hubby's t-shirts way more than he'd like). It not only makes your vibe playful, but the contradiction of the styles adds an element of interest and excitement. This look is one I would gladly wear any day of the week!

Thanks for the great response to Tyler's takeover post on Monday!  I'll make sure to feature more of him here on Opal & Violet. See! You readers always get what you want! ;)

Cut to the Chase: ASOS Jackets


On a site like ASOS, where hundreds of amazing pieces of clothing and accessories exist, it's so easy to get a bit completely overwhelmed with options. So today I decided to simply cut to the chase by sorting through all [580!] of the ASOS jacket styles to bring you a concise list of 8 fabulous choices for your Fall wardrobe.  From dressy to casual and from neutral to statement, I'm confident you'll find exactly what you're looking for!

My apologies for missing my post on Friday.  While I'm trying to get back into the swing of blogging, I'm likely to fall short from time to time. I so appreciate your understanding, friends!  See you back here Wednesday!

Recent Obsession: Backpacks



I am living for a great backpack right now.  Whether structured and polished or sporty and casual, I could easily pair one with nearly all my outfits this Fall.  I've searched high and low to find the most amazing selection of backpacks in every price point.  Which of these 12 picks do you want to add to your closet? I think it's safe to say that I want one of each!

Before you head off into your weekend adventures, make sure you're caught up on Wednesday's post. You've got to hear about all of my apartment drama to make you feel better about your own life! 

But seriously

Have an amazing weekend! I'll see you back here Monday but I'll see you on social media until then!

Recent Obsession: Bow Shoes


Hi friends!  I know it's been a while and I promise that I have stories  to catch you up on my life but I must hold out just a little longer before I fill you in on everything.  There are a few crazy things going on right now and I'd rather wait until I can give you full resolutions instead of starting a story without an ending.  So, for now, I'm going to attempt to bring you as much fashion as frequently as I can.  Hopefully soon it will be as consistent (& as full of outfit posts!) as you and I would both like.  

One of my latest recent obsessions has been fabulous shoes with bows.  Now, this isn't really something I just started drooling over but rather an ongoing lust that I just couldn't hold it any longer.  You and I both know that I'm a huge sucker for girly details like bows, so I've rounded up a few current favorites of mine in both flat and high heel form.  I hope you'll be as inspired as I am going into Spring with these pretties in mind. 









  














Have a fantastic week!!

Recent Obsession: Skirts


I've been having some major shopping withdrawals recently.  I'm going to blame it on fashion week for its countless inspiration, but I'm dying to live in some amazing skirts right now.  I want to pair them with t-shirts, sweaters, button ups, and blouses.  I want maxis and midis, sequins and prints.   I just can't get enough! Scroll through the skirt collection above for some of my top picks!

Happy Valentine's Day loves!!

Maybe it's because I've been majorly cleaning
 out my closet for our move next week(!!) and I feel 
like I own about 3 pieces of clothing right now, but I 
have been seriously craving some new Fall fashion in
 my wardrobe.  My first Fall mani is already happening
 (as seen on Instagram!) so why not get the wish list 
going of the perfect sweaters, boots, and flannel?!
  Check out these picks pulled from both J.Crew and 
J.Crew Factory for my Fall wardrobe inspiration!

Maxi Love




Somehow it's already Monday and my thoughts are still lingering around the idea of finding amazing maxi dresses like I posted about on Friday.  While I styled a great summer look for you on that post,  I couldn't help but take it a step forward and put together a little shopping list to make finding fabulous maxis a little easier. Scroll through the looks above and let me know which are your favorites!  I just might be adding 
a few to my shopping list, too!

Handbag Heaven

I really just can't get enough of great accessories 
whether it's a fun statement necklace, an awesome pair of shoes, 
or a fabulous new handbag.  And boy am I crushing on some great
looking handbags!  I've put together a little shopping guide for you
today of some of the ones that have my attention.  I can see them 
being the perfect addition to my wardrobe and I'm sure they
 would look great in yours, too! 

Are you drooling over a particular bag currently? 
Let me know about it because I may just need to add it to my list! ;)

The Finest Florals



Spring is finally here I just can't get my newfound love of florals
out of my head!  So I did a little shopping for the both of us today and
 picked out several great pieces to help us incorporate the print's cheerfulness
 into our current wardrobes.  Not so sure about florals?  Then start small with 
an adorable phone case.  Ready to dive in?  I've picked a fabulous maxi 
that even Rachel Zoe would be oh so proud of!  Enjoy!

Mint Obsessed

Mint Obsessed on Opal & Violed

Row 1:
one // two // three
Row 2:
one // two // three
Row 3:
one // two // three


I'm basically unbearable to go shopping with these days.
Why?  Because I loudly squeal every.single.time I see anything mint.
It's so bad that I'm even annoyed at myself. Is that even possible?  I can't
help but think all that squealing is totally justified, however, when I've put
together a collection of gorgeous items in that beautiful color.  I didn't plan 
on having so many Kate Spade pieces in this collection but I couldn't
 deny all of their incredibly gorgeous mint pieces.

Speaking of Kate Spade, they are having an amazing Surprise 
Sample Sale today & tomorrow only with up to 75% off & $5 shipping!!
You can check that out here
