Daily Style: Banana Republic Funnel Bracelet

I spotted this Funnel bracelet on Banana Republic’s site this morning, and couldn’t take my eyes off of it!

It’s unusual in a fabulous way that makes me feel as though I NEED it. The mixed metal bracelet is elegant and just a little edgy – the sharp lines are unexpected yet somehow work with the overall flow of the bracelet

Funnel Bracelet is available from Banana Republic for $42.

Daily Style: Assorted Espresso Cups by BIA Cordon Bleu

This set of assorted espresso cups and saucers totally caught my eye – the bright mishmash of circles looks like a vibrant artist’s palette upon first glance, no?

The set of 6 cups and saucers coordinates perfectly without being too matchy-matchy. While it’s not suitable for every kitchen, I love it nonetheless; there’s something about the bright pops of color that bring a smile to my face, and let’s be honest, I need all the extra pep I can get in the morning!

(Aside: Not to be a word snob or anything, but does anyone else find it annoying when people say EXPRESSO? Haha.)

Assorted Espresso Cups and Saucers by BIA Cordon Bleu are available online at Bloomingdales.com for $34.99.

Daily Style: Kate Spade Canvas Anne Pocket Organizer

While I’ve tried just about every electronic rendition of a calendar, I’ve never been able to totally do away with a classic paper planner. There’s something so satisfying about being able to check items off my to-do list with a pen!

I’m totally loving this punchy pink one at the moment! It’s sleek, sophisticated and includes must-have items like calendars, a ruler, a storage pouch and credit card slots. Plus, it’s pink, so it’s a cinch to spot in even the darkest of handbags.

Kate Spade Canvas Anne Pocket Organizer is available from Kate Spade for $75.

Daily Style: Orrefors Crystal Ornament Set

I love the stark simplicity of these Orrefors crystal ornaments. Each of the three crystal discs is etched with a snowflake and finished with a satin ribbon.

My take on holiday décor is that less is more – when everything is shouting red, green and Santa, it’s sometimes nice and unexpected to add a festive touch that’s a departure from the holiday status quo.

Orrefors Crystal Ornament Set is available from Nordstrom for $49.90.
