B Mesmerized: Colorful statement necklaces

I can't wait till the Fall season is upon us. I am over sandals and sad for my boots collecting dust in my closet. But there are a few things I'm trying to hold onto before the Summer season is behind us. Once Fall hits muted tones will be back but no reason to not fight the camel hues a bit with these colorful necklaces!

B like Jackie: 1960s Mad Men fashion


When I was young my dad told me how much I resembled Jackie O with my hair pulled back. To be honest, I was young and had no idea who he was referring to at the time. Little did I know that she'd become one of my favorite fashion icons. As of recently I have become obssessed with Mad Men, the show portrays all my favorite 1960s fashion, just like Jackie.

B one year old: A celebration of Just B


A year ago today, I wrote a silly story about a shopping trip.  I posted it on the internet with no intention of anyone actually finding it interesting. Since then I have written  119 other posts and been visited by almost 5,700 people around the world.  I have bought a ridiculous amount of nail polish and probably topped that number with Rebecca Minkoff purchases.

Just B started as a hobby and a creative outlet for my writing and inspirations. I am excited that it has grown to what is and has plans for the future. Here is a just a quick look back at the last year according to me, B.

B Chockful: Anthropologie chalk catalog

For a long period of time I have always wanted a chalkboard wall but never had the right space or wall to put it. I am envious of those who have found that perfect place and used their creativity to continually draw on their wall. Isn't that every child's dream? Well while searching for some inspiration online, I always find myself on Anthropologie's website searching through their catalog online. They created the ultimate storyboard room with wall to wall to floor chalkboard. I can't imagine the clean up but it does look good on paper!

B Love: Courtney, life after Birkin

The first thought of Cuurtney Love you have may be a lot of things and certainly rare that high fashion is one of them. I had a skewed view of the rehab junkie but yesterday's profile of the artist in Women's Wear Daily made me see something new.

Sick of seeing her worst fashion moments page after page on google image. Courtney took charge by posting her own outfits on WhatCourtneyWoreToday.com. She doesn't post herself personally but sends it to anonymous writers that will share for her.

A woman who once burned a whole Marc Jacob's collection given to her (I know, it's horrible) now categorizes her life as "before and after Birkin" as in Hermes. After reading the article I found myself on her site surprised of how different this woman was than the one I remember from that MTV video awards clip. But don't think she's totally reformed or tamed her ways, she still shows her edge and love for grunge even in four inch Louboutins.
