Lets Fly Away.....

1 / 2 / 3

My list of dream vacations is endless.  There is so much beauty to enjoy & cultures to experience, I can't imagine a life without travel &Greece comes close to the top of the list. Gorgeous blue waters, amazing weather & interesting history to learn about.  Ill just ignore their awful economic situation right now!

For today's Friday Fancies, I was inspired not only by the gorgeous colors but also by European style.

  

Vacations really should be about relaxing, for filling life long dreams & creating memories.  However, photographs will last forever so your outfits are almost as important! To ensure I don't waste my time stressing about how I look I like to make sure I have great accessories along with layering & versatile pieces.

Light dresses are always perfect for Spring Vacations, they are easy to pack, comfortable while site seeing in sandals & can be dressed up with fab heels  for those endless nights of dancing & a few too many wines!  Aren't these color block heels perfect??

What are your favorite travel pieces?? 

p.s. hope on over to {longdistanceloving} to see the other looks!

Fashion Friday ~ Nicole Richie

Nicole by Roxy1021 featuring logo sunglasses

In the spirit of Nicole Richie joining the NBC Fashion Star team here are some of my picks from her Winter Kate and House of Harlow 1960 collections.  I can't wait for the show, I was obsessed with Project Runway until it moved to Lifetime and my friend Ashley and I may have watched the Simple Life a few times ;-) clearly Nicole was the star of that show!

Remember my obsession with the Peacock Bracelet?  Well its 7 months later I am still obsessed and I still don't have it, whomp!! Maybe I will buy it to celebrate becoming a citizen!  I am submitting papers this week to become a dual citizen! Exciting stuff!

Fashion Friday

So Fashion Friday has been MIA for weeks due to my busy schedule and lack of motivation.  Well it's back and I am determined to stick with it. 

This will be a quick blog about my current shoe obsession.  I have been a huge fan of Toms for sometime, I love that when I buy a pair of shoes someone else gets a pair too.  So my summer shoe splurge might just be these beauties:

I've been looking for an accessory or maybe a blazer in watermelon or coral to add some color to my summer wardrobe and these might be the perfect option.  They look really comfortable with a reasonable heel height of 3 1/2 inches.  Perfect with Jeans, a floral dress or even to add a pop of color with a black cotton dress.

Does anyone else buy Toms? Whats your favorite style?  My friend Tricia just bought the sparkly pink classic Toms and they are so cute.

Check out the Toms website to learn about his One for One movement.

London Calling

London is literally calling my name, its calling and telling me I need to finalize my summer vacation plans in the gorgeous city.  

It is also calling me to buy this adorable Kate Spade Bracelet.

Although Red is not a typical color for Spring I think it would be a great addition to my bangle collection and add a little edge to my simple style, which is just what I am looking for in my accessory purchases right now.

What's your opinion of my current obsession?  To touristy, like I picked it up from the airport or edgy and stylish?

Thank You

Dinner in Paris

Yesterday I told you about my favorite location in Paris, Montmarte, so I wanted to keep the Paris theme for Fashion Friday. 

As I put this together I kept thinking, what would Chanel wear?.  Coco Chanel for me, like most girls is a style icon.   Her clean lines, perfectly structured and fitted clothing is the epitome of chic. 

My Parisian dinner style is a lovely little black dress, a side chignon, neutral color blocked Louboutin heels and to complete the simple outfit a Chanel Clutch and Chanel Pearl and chain necklace.  The necklace adds a modern twist to classic string of pearls look.

What do you think of my look? To safe for fashion forward Paris?

Do you like the Fashion Friday button? If you want to participate feel free to use it. Next Friday's theme: The Royal Wedding!

P.S hop on over to Emyselfandi.com and for a Stella Jewelry spotlight.  There might be a discount code for you :)

Fashion Friday

Fashion Friday by Roxy1021 on Polyvore.com

While I was writing the below blog I began think about the direction I want go in with A Spot of Tea.  True to the idea of having a good catch up and "a spot of tea" with friends, I want my blog to be fun and random but feel a few consistent topics will improve the site.

I know I want to document my successes and failures as I work to make Stella Jewelry a thriving business, providing beautiful handmade jewelry to women all over. I know I want to document my travels but seen as I won’t be doing much traveling other than to weddings until my big trip to England (more to come) I need find other things to talk about. So to relate to my love of fashion I declare a new little project ~ Fashion Friday. I will use sites such as Polyvore.com to create style an outfit and maybe pick my best dressed of the week from the gossip columns, give make up advice and hopefully much. I would love for others to participate too; I believe this is called a link up in the blogging world!

I hope you enjoy Fashion Friday and decide to join in.

A little about the outfit: You all know I am huge fan of Victoria Beckham and her style. I decided my first Fashion Friday would be a tribute to her with a gorgeous dress from her line, an adorable British Flag Clutch and the hottest shoe trend for this year, Rose Gold Brian Atwoods! I dream of being able to wear an outfit like this :) What do you guys think of the look?
