Handmade Feather Necklace, ICE Earrings, UO Top and Hammered Cuff, F21 Skirt, Nine West Heels

I’m a big fan of pairing black with white since the combination makes just about anything look crisp and chic. This morning’s outfit, though, lacked that certain punch, hence why I pulled out my handmade feather necklace. My inspiration came from this $280 version that’s sold out on Pixie Market’s website so I opted to make my own. Also, thank you to Nadia, who sent over these beautiful lemon drop quartz and diamond earrings from the online jewelry store, Ice.com. They catch the light in the most subtly alluring way while adding just a touch of glamor to my everyday look.

Wonderful replica of the Pixie Market version — yours seems softer and more feminine. Gorgeous against the white!
