Everything is New !!!

Welcome to an all new, beautiful, much improved and organized blog. Doesn't it look pretty and clean? If you are a first-time reader, I just had my entire blog re-designed. The lovely Ashley from The Grits Blog did it for me and made me such a happy girl. I was so happy to see it all come together. It is very me: clean, elegant, girly but not too much, in blush (Rose Quartz) and mint green with touches of red. I will talk about the blog design more throughout the week but for now just browse around, check it out and let me know what you think. =) So, yeah this was one of the big things I was working on lately, on top of a very busy personal work schedule, house issues and health issues for all of us as a family and horrible migraines I had to deal with. It has been such a hectic last few weeks. On top of that, we have had a lot of snow and my picture-taking has suffered from it. But you know: all is well that ends well.

To celebrate this new design and 4 years of blogging (this Spring I am coming up on 4 years), I am also wearing new threads. It is great to start off a new month with something new and exciting like a blog re-branding and redesign. Plus the colors are perfect to kick off Spring. And yes, everything I am wearing is new, from head to shoe: from the Gorgeous DV Espadrille Flats, to my Jacquard Wrap Skirt, my Chiffon Blouse, the Foldover Clutch, this Gorgeous Colorblocked Blanket Scarf and all of my Jewelry courtesy of Rocksbox. And I am continuing my Blanket Scarf week and for the next three days I am joined by the Beautiful and Stylish Emily who blogs at Darling Dearest. This girl owns a ton of Blanket Scarves and always wears them with such an ease.  She looks great here. A white background windowpane blanket scarf is one I need, too.

I love how my New Colorblocked Blanket Scarf acts as a Winter Rainbow to my canvas of Neutrals: Navy, Camel, Off-White and Black. All my three new pieces of Rocksbox Jewelry this time around were in a gold tone with some gorgeous green stones so I paired them with more gold-tone jewelry, more green stones and a pop of red which brought out the red from the Blanket Scarf. Plus, with all the pops of green, I am not just hinting at Spring but it is a great idea to wear a little bit of Green for Saint Patrick's Day coming up. Though let's face it, we are covered under inches of snow and you can not see any green anywhere in the nature. 

Also, today I am co-hosting Monica's Weekly Linkup. Please make sure you follow Monica's Blog. She has really cute feminine style with a country flair and she is the best when it comes to painting+styling her nails and doing her hair.

In my second Rocksbox, I received one of those gorgeous Rayne Necklaces from Kendra Scott ($64.00 with the special price), a green stone triangle cuff by House of Harlow ($62.00 with the special price) and some Dangly Gold Earrings by Gorjana (they called them earring jackets but to me they weren't really jackets) ($52.00 with the special price). I had put the bracelet under my wish-list, so I was glad I received it. It is a very pretty bracelet and I wish I owned it but in my opinion it didn't justify the price. The Rayne Green-Stone Necklace was the item I made mine and I wouldn't mind owning it in another color too. The Earrings were my least favorite item. They were cute but nothing special and I thought they were very pricey for what they were. Just like the first time, my stylist this time had chosen 3 pieces that mixed+matched well together. I mean look at those 3 items above, it is like you are meant to always wear them together. F.Y.I. You can still use my special code to get a free month of Rocksbox jewelry delivered to your home: ADABFF39. It is a service I plan to continue at least for another month or two. It is fun. 

The Details:

The Camel Espadrille D'Orsay Flats bring out the Camel from the Blanket Scarf and match the Sequined Bronze Bow Barrette nicely. And all the Gold Tone Jewels work with the Camel too. Also, a Red Elephant Charm Bracelet to match my Red Ruby Ring.
