Featured Sponsor: Anjolee
When I was first approached to work with Anjolee I was a little uncertain because aside from my lovely engagement ring I prefer quirky and unusual jewelry to classic diamond pieces. But I have to say after looking at their website I think I may be a diamond convert. Their pieces are so classic but with a twist like this mixed metal diamond bracelet with a diamond hive-like pattern.
Anjolee has style imaginable on their website. From classic diamond hoops earrings to intricate pendants like above to engagements ring to red carpet style jewelry to gemstone jewelry. You could spend hours looking at the wide selection they have, dreaming of buying yourself a gift or maybe getting someone you love to buy you a gift!
The best thing about Anjolee though is that everything can be completely customized! Say you want a pair of diamond hoops you can the pick the type of metal, diamond quality and carat weight. You get complete control over the look and cost of your piece. You could spend hours looking at pieces and changing around the style, especially when you look through the gemstones and changing out the gems from garnet to topaz to emerald.
Plus this is the perfect place to find your engagement ring; personally this princess cut diamond ring is definitely my favorite (are you paying attention Hubster?). I love the setting of this ring, it’s so high so the diamond really is in the forefront.
An important part of selecting sponsors for me is knowing I am supporting a ethical business with philosophies that coincide with my own. Anjolee only uses diamond that correspond with the Kimberly Process of conflict free diamonds and has a commitment to green manufacturing process.
I definitely recommend taking a browse through the Anjolee website and play around with the customization option. Enjoy!
much love.

Hit Or Miss
I have been reading Diane Keaton’s autobiography Then Again (which is fantastic BTW) and there are some gorgeous photos of her during her Annie Hall days. I was feeling so inspired by her menswear look, it’s so classic, iconic even. So, I decided to put together a Diane Keaton inspired look, but I put a little spin on it by adding a bright print. I was pretty happy with this look until the Hubster said I looked like Blossom. Now I am a little torn, is this classic like Diane or dated like Blossom?
Dress- Old Navy (similar)
Vest- Smart Set (similar)
Shoes- Blowfish (similar)
Clutch- Btwn Wind & Water
Hat- H&M (similar)
Scarf- Thrifted
I have been taking a very hard look at this outfit and now I am starting to fall on the side that I might look like Blossom in this photos. But is that a bad things? She is a classic character.
What do you guys think Hit or Miss?
I promise you won’t hurt my feelings if you think it’s a miss.
much love.
Guest Post by Mademoiselle Meese
Today’s guest post is from Donyel from Mademoiselle Meese! This girl has a super sweet blog with wonderful recipes and photos of her beautifully styled outfits. I’m so happy she could do a little post for me!
I’m Donyel, from Mademoiselle Meese, and I am beyond thrilled that Roxie invited me to help guest post for you on Fabric Strips and Ruby Lips while she is away. Since we’re all aware of Roxie’s love of vintage, I thought I’d plan my outfit around some of my favorite classic pieces.
What I’m wearing:
Blouse: Banana Republic
Jeans: Banana Republic
Trench: Calvin Klein
Shoes: Me Too {old}
Jewelry: Tiffany & Co. and Hadaya
My love for simple clothing stems from one of my favorite style icons, Audrey Hepburn. Her elegant and effortlessly chic style continues to inspire me. Both on and off screen, Audrey Hepburn could often be found in a pair of skinny pants or denim. As she did, I prefer a dark wash, which is universally flattering.
When it comes to tops, pair your bottoms with a blouse well-fitted to your body type. If it’s too loose, the garment hangs off of you, and too tight shows more of you then should be seen. I prefer them in solid colors, so in this case, I chose a light pastel well suited to spring. The day was chilly so I threw one of my favorite trench coats, a la Breakfast at Tiffany’s.
Although I’m often seen in heels, there’s no denying that a pair of ballet flats are always perfect. They come in many shapes and patterns, so find one that suits you. Never skimp on quality or comfort. Audrey’s favorite was Ferragamo, but be aware that they do not come cheap.
Dressing like Audrey Hepburn is to know yourself and embrace what makes you unique. My personal style really developed when I looked critically at myself. I faced my flaws and played up my assets. And as a result, I have a look that is uniquely “me”.
How would you describe your style?
Cloudy With a Chance of Elegance
Hello Dahlings! Okay, okay the title is lame, but my cup of coffee is gettin’ low and it was all I could think of. Sooo, moving on…
It is a pretty gloomy Tuesday and it is sucking all the creative energy out of me. But I think I have something in mind for a DIY later in the week. So for now, I’ll just show y’all my beautiful new trench.
I have never had a classic trench before, and now I can’t imagine my life without one. It’s raining, you throw it on and it goes with everything. This trench is from Joe Fresh, and I got it for only 20 bucks, which is quite a steal. These beige shoes with studs are Blowfish and are amazingly comfortable. Plus I love the contrast of the little studs on the shoes with the classic trench.
I love this sweet little bow on the back.
I found this amazing box purse in a thrift boutique. I think I have a thing for medicine bags cause this is like a mini version of one.
If you are interested, I was featured this week in Chic Steal’s Links of the Week. I feel very thankful that Carly included me on her amazing blog.
I hope y’all are having a good week, and enjoying some summer fun.
much love.
