Black and Gold + West of Camden

I’m a bright colors kind of gal, but once in a while, I am feeling an all-black look.  I was teased at work for looking a bit like a biker babe with this on, so fate must have taken over when we shot these photos…because we ended up next to a bike. A sign I should start riding a Harley, perhaps?

Since I went monotone with black, I wanted to add fun accessories, like these super cool Cruciani bracelets from West of Camden.  I hadn’t seen these beautiful lace bracelets before this month, but they originated in Italy and they are HUGE all over the world. When the bracelets began popping up on the wrists of celebs as the must-have accessory on Mediterranean beaches, stylish boutiques took notice.  Here in the States, West of Camden is one of my favorite shops that carries a large range of Cruciani styles and colors. I have quite a few of them now, so prepare to see them on my wrist all autumn long! You can order one for yourself here, or they make an awesome holiday gift. They aren’t expensive, so I recommend buying several or a trio and layering. My readers also get FREE SHIPPING all month long, so use code HilaryFree when you purchase!
