Urban Luxe Galm
This look was styled completely around this hat and necklace. I received some GREAT tips the other day working valet, and splurged on this giant crystal (glass?) necklace from Target. I don't usually spend $30 on one item...thrifter..hello...Do you know how much $30 buys at Goodwill? But since I wasn't expecting the extra cash and I REALLY wanted the necklace I went for it. I also bought this plain black beanie. I've been wearing both non-stop since.
I decided to go for a street look with luxurious accessories. Another great example of accessories setting the tone of an outfit. I got this Dewey's Pizza tee-shirt in a swag bag from a music festival in Cincinnati. I added my boyfriend jeans, moto boots, black beanie, crystal necklace, bangle, and Chanel bag to create this awesome street-chic ensemble. I was a bit inspired by Nancy of Adore to Adorn. Her street chic looks are totally urban and awesome. I bought this beanie because I like them on her so much!

Lipstick is "Stoplight Red" by Wet N' Wild from the Fergie Collection.

I'm still so jealous of your bag!!! and I'm loving that necklace, it was definitely a great purchase!

Aw thank you. I thought it looked good lol.
Thanks Anna! I was going for a very slight grunge/street/glam look. The boots were like $20 at Kmart a few years ago. I've gotten my money out of them.
you definitely nailed it! Works so well :)
That's so good! I remember seeing them when I was looking through Selena's collection. That's why it was familiar.
The bag is just such a perfect touch to this outfit, it takes it to a whole new level! I love love love your bracelet!
Estate sale! It was the best purchase ever. I love it so much.
I am happy with it, I keep wearing it everywhere!
Thanks Kacie! I painted it with the mint colored Cover Girl outlast nail polish. The stones in it were a milky color that I did not like, so I just whipped out the nail polish! The cool part is it looks almost like turquoise.
I really like her Kmart line! I have a purple suede fringed bag from that collection too, and I really love it. She has great tastes that range from boho to moto to glam and they all work together. Plus, it's all super affordable!
Isn't it great! I had the opportunity to buy a dress from her line but since then I haven't seen her line anywhere in Australia :(
She's definitely one of style inspiration. She has great taste and yes so affordable. I just wish shipping wasn't so expensive.
YOUR BAG! NICE! Such a cute look and I love the new blog design, clean and chic!
I agree! I love Wallis and Top Shop but I HATE to pay $20.00 for shipping.
Exactly! It's clean. That's what I was going for.
Thank you Cara.
AW thanks so much for mentioning me. I'm so flattered and honored. =D I love this look and how you are rockin' that beanie! LOVE your bag too. That is definitely a star piece! =D

Loving your bold accessories...you look great!
Beautiful look. I love a casual look with some glam accessories any day. I usually roam around in jeans and a tee and love adding cute flats and a statement necklace. The necklace was a great buy even at $30, because you can use it with so many looks.

Thank you Nancy! I've been trying to try new things in fashion and your glammy street looks were a place I'd never been! My Bag is very special. It only sees daylight a few times a month. It actually doesn't hold all that much lol.
Thanks Tara. I felt really special, pretty..just "me." I guess I'm an urban glam girl at heart.
I have too! I've worn it every other day it seems. It really is a standout, special piece!
I definitely feel your pain about splurging on the necklace, but it's all relative, right?
It's awesome to treat yourself after a good day at work, so I think it was worth it. Your outfit and your makeup look stunning :)

Wow, not many lovelies can pull off a beanie like you can!!!! And I don't blame you for the necklace splurge, it is so adorable!

Thank you Jackie! I love a good, strong, red lip. Or any color lip, so long as it's bright and long-wearing lol.
Wow @Becky Kung @ Velvet & Vino thank you so much! That's the best compliment I've received all day. My Mom says my head was made for hats. IDK if that's a good or bad thing lol.
I can see why you spent a little more on that necklace! Love the added sparkle! The addition of this necklace is great on this casual look.

You deserve to splurge on items every now and then!! Good for you for taking the plunge. And can we just talk about how you found a thrifted Chanel bag!? OMG so jealous!

Estate sale. The lady had tons of designer bags and such. Her kids didn't know if they were real or anything. On the inside pocket of my bag were the original sales receipt from the Chanel boutique. I was beyond thrilled.
Nice look, you look very pretty with the red lipstick :)

Thank you so much!
Thanks Jacqueline! It's painted with Cover Girl Outlast nailpolish.
Thank you so much! I have my eye on another one on Amazon.
Super cute and relaxed look! I sometimes do that, style an outfit based on a necklace or hat. Those are cute.

Thank you Georgi!
I always have an idea of what I want to wear, but i knew I wanted to dress the sparkly fancy necklace down. Thus an outfit was born!
Love all your accessories! I just went to Dots today looking for boots like that, I might have to visit Kmart!

I love that you shop at Dots as well! I went there the other day and my Dots doesn't have any moto-type boots. They are more J-Lo glam sexy boots lol.
I so cannot pull off a beanie - I'm not cool enough for that, hehe. Love the necklace!
I bet you could!
I love everything and how you styled this look! I want your baaaaggg!! :D
You look seriously adorable in this hat! I love it.
if you are wearing them both non stop, then it was definitely worth the extra money! you look great!
Hi Ashleigh! Love the necklace! Target is so awesome isn't it! Super jealous of that Chanel bag you thrifted! I need to get back to shopping estate sales pronto!

You are totally correct! I love that necklace. It's so blingy.
I'll come with you!
Great necklace! The entire look is fabulous. Love the red lippie too!
Thank you! I love it.
I think that necklace was totally worth the splurge. LOVE how it blings up a tee! And omg that bag - I'm drooling! You are so lucky to have found that!
Thank you Catherine! The Lady I bought it from-her estate sale-had many, many designer bags and shoes. I wanted this one because it is so classic!

Thanks Tara! I thought so too.
I was gone for a week and you went and changed your blog on me! And I love it! The new design looks so chic and fabulous! And your outfit looks amazing too! You and your blog are both looking gorgeous!

Thanks Kacie! I wanted something cleaner and more simple.
Cute bag! I love it! Ashleigh, you find the best deals :)
If I had more money that weekend I'd have bought more. The lady had every bag you can imagine. All luxury and designer brands, colors, shapes, etc.
I took this photo and still stand by what I said..I felt the jewelry was out of place with the casualness of the outfit, which I loved!
