Links à la Mode (April 17th): What Makes You Beautiful?

lalam0417


They say "Beauty comes from within," but then, why are we constantly trying to perfect our outsides? Beauty issues have been making waves on the internet the past few weeks. What makes us beautiful? What is beautiful? Well, those are some pretty heavy questions and perhaps the answer cliche as it is, you know, coming from within... That "within" also encompasses self-care and self love. This week we have some wonderful beauty posts, along with posts that share the love.

the new look: tuxedo and cargos.





there are days that i love pairing two things that really have no business in the same look, and this was one of those days. i love these pants...LOVE. another j.crew purchase from around 2009-2010 (yay for the marissa webb years and another big YAY for her appointment as creative director of banana republic!) that have stood the test of time. so on this particular morning instead of reaching for a grey sweatshirt or plaid shirt, i pulled out this black silk tuxedo blouse (super soft on the skin because the shiny part is on the inside), coincidentally from banana republic. the old and the new coming together.

banana republic shirt (similar, also comes in white), j. crew pants (old, similar at 25% off with code inthefamily14), boutique 9 sandals (similar), vince camuto earrings, linda farrow x alexander wang sunglasses, zara bag, club monaco belt, monserat de lucca (similar), céline, and jewelmint bracelets

currently coveting: spring jewelry.



i left two things off of my spring shopping list, probably for two reasons: first, i've already bought them and secondly because they've become such a part of my daily wardrobe.

the first is the céline knot bracelet i picked up in february. i had long admired céline's jewelry, but the stores in sf (neiman marcus, saks, and barneys) only carried one size in the bracelets. so when i was in new york, i popped in to check out the selection, and the thin knot was too beautiful to resist. even though it's an open design, getting a small ensures that it won't slip off my wrist (there's enough of an opening to get it off and on).

my other purchase happened because of new york as well. i had lunch with sarah and she was raving about her mise en dior earrings. then the same day i went to céline, i stopped into the dior flagship and saw the pearl and colored versions. while i loved the design, i wasn't crazy about the colors or the pearls, so i passed. but back in san francisco, after taking a peek into the dior shop within bloomingales, the salesperson casually mentioned the metal versions were soon coming in. oh, you don't say? "i can give you a call when they arrive." well why not? i went for the smaller silver/larger gold combo, which looked better against my skintone, and they've become my alternate to the diamond stud—still tasteful but a little more interesting.

céline bracelets, available at neiman marcus, barneys, saks fifth avenue in san francisco, or céline in los angeles and new york
dior "mise en dior" earrings available at the dior boutique inside bloomingdales in san francisco
