As we talked about in 'Neutral Necessities,' when shopping and packing for abroad, it is very important to stick to neutrals and think about how many different ways you could wear a certain item. While having a white skirt or a chic black jacket is critical for creating a variety of outfits, sometimes the most important items to match are the everyday accessories that make a statement while still staying simple. You don't want to bring bright pink supergas or an impractical sequin clutch; you have to think pragmatically about what you are going to get the most use of and how that item can be the staple to each outfit you put together. This is an important fashion lesson in general, not just for abroad, and is a good way to save money because neutrals are great and LESS IS MORE, people! :)

A few days ago Letters by Zoe requested to follow me on Instagram. While I initially didn't think twice about it, I ended up going to the account because something about the name was very intriguing/welcoming/warm. I was completely surprised by the account in the best way possible! All of the pieces have a beautiful, delicate look to them and almost all of them can be personalized in some way to make it that much more special.

I've recently been looking for new rings to add to my wardrobe, as I have found that nice ones (without the crazy price tag) can be very hard to come by. The rings from Letters by Zoe are so so pretty and definitely worth taking a look. (I am also obsessed with all of their gold cuffs and the way they mixed and the way they stacked a few of them together)
