Tickled Pink

June 1st, 2011

Ray Ban Glasses, Madewell Top, Rory Beca Skirt, Dannijo Bracelet, Handmade Turquoise Bracelet with Vintage Brooch, Miu Miu Heels, Leather Satchel Company Clutch

I picked up this blouse at Madewell last week and it’s quickly become one of my most versatile tops. The blurry watercolor assortment of pink, navy, gray and cream is just as pretty when paired with simple solids as it is with other patterns. It felt only natural to throw yet another color into the mix, so I transformed one of my handmade turquoise necklaces into a bracelet by clipping it together with a vintage brooch. Next time I just need to make sure it’s properly closed, since it burst open and managed to scratch up my entire forearm within a matter of seconds.

    I’ve been wanting a satchel like this in a bright color! Is this an 11″ or a 14″ bag? I love the proportion of it :)

    Adore the mix of colours. The orange and pink look beautiful when played against the turquoise bracelet – mega fan.

    This is the thing about brooches – I used to own hundreds of them when I was working at the local grocery store in high school. Our dress code was tan trousers, (I think then we called them slacks) a white button-down dress shirt, and our choice of either tie or brooch. When I quit working there I threw them all away. Now I wished I hadn’t as I’m starting my collection all over again. I love how you put the necklace together with the brooch – sorry about your war wounds though :)

    one thing I love about your looks is you are not afraid of color and know how to pair colorful things together (which can sometimes be challenging). Love your style and your blog!

    i love how the skirt and top have that similar pink tone, and the clutch and shoes are a camel color. not too matchy match, but matching enough to look great. cute outfit!

    hello Miss Emily:

    Just wanted to let you know I purchased my own Cambridge Satchel at Selfridge’s in London. I wanted one with color but they only had black. The sales lady said the color ones are painted and eventually the paint chips. This sold me on the black. How is yours doing? Is it chipping? I love my satchel! Thanks for letting us know where to find coold things to wear!
    Do you like Uniqlo? i love their sweaters and panties.
