Gossip Girl's Taylor Momsen Rocks a Leather Cuff at a Victoria's Secret Perfume Launch Party

Marc Jacobs recently said to Instyle Magazine, “I’m a big believer in wearing whatever you want, whenever you want. No one dictates fashion to the women I know.” I couldn’t agree more. I’ve always thought that fashion was more about the confidence and less about the clothes. The confidence to mix bold colors, the confidence to wear the biggest cocktail ring or even socks with platforms…The idea is to express yourself and enjoy yourself. I love to mix unexpected pieces, old and new, different eras, different styles, etc. Lately, I’ve been pairing a lot of feminine pieces with edgier accessories. I especially love a fun flirty dress with a leather jacket or a leather cuff. Check out GG’s Taylor Momsen in the above photo with the silk dress and leather cuff. You can create this look for less by adding the Woven Faux-Leather Cuff ($12)  from Rue de Chic.com to any of your dresses for an edgier look.

Gossip Girl's Taylor Momsen rocks a Statement Necklace

I’m a big believer in looking and feeling your best at all times. That being said, we all have days where we just don’t feel like dressing up. However, even on days like this, there’s no reason to let go completely. I love finding ways to stay casual chic  with very little effort. One of those ways is utilizing “Statement Necklaces.”  A statement necklace is a piece that stands out and always takes whatever you’re wearing to a whole new level. You could have on an evening gown or a pair of jeans, the effect is always stunning! My favorite casual Saturday outfit is a soft white v-neck t-shirt, a rolled up boyfriend blazer, skinny jeans, a pair of booties and a statement necklace. The chunkier the necklace, the better. You can also go bold with an eye catching Red or Turquoise. Remember, you never know who you might run into, wouldn’t you rather look your best?
