Yesterday was a great day to shop for 7 hours, and that's exactly what I did. We started our trip at one of my favorite gift stores in Cheshire, Red Owl Jewelry and Gifts.
I saw these lobster cuff links and thought they were the cutest things ever. They are so different than what you normally see and can add a little bit of New England to any formal outfit. Paired with the silk sailboat tie and you have a classic preppy look.
This Daniel Wellington watch is a newer piece of jewelry that is going to be super popular. It is seen a lot on Instagram and Pinterest. The watch is modeled after the oldest Rolex in the world. These timeless watches are guaranteed to be flying off the shelves.
No shopping trip is complete without dining at one of my favorite post-mall restaurants. Brio is a great restaurant inside the Westfarms mall that offers amazing food and service. Its the perfect way to replenish all those calories after hours of shopping.
You can never leave the mall with empty hands of course.

Navy is my Neutral



My monogrammed necklace can be paired with virtually anything. The angle of the navy blazer looks clean with the stripes.
 The gold starfish bangle and pearl bracelet with an anchor clasp complement each other nicely and carry out the nautical theme of my outfit. My blazer is lined with a thin pinstripe while my dress is larger darker stripes, I really liked the contrast between these two pieces as well. 
To finish off the outfit, I wore navy Jack Rogers to keep the same color scheme. I wear Jack Rogers religiously in the summer and spring.
