Accessory Steal of the Week: Emerald Handbag


JustFab 'Narrative' bag review

In this weekly column, I’m bringing you my favorite budget-friendly steal that’s available online or in-stores. This week, we’re talking handbags. Make sure to check out my blog SydneStyle.com for more affordable fashion inspiration!

The holidays are rapidly approaching. Can you believe it’s almost Thanksgiving?! I always like to update my handbag collection with a new purse that I can wear throughout the season’s festivities. That’s why I was thrilled when JustFab came out with my beloved Narrative ($31.96) in emerald (if you remember I featured the peach version earlier this year).

Splurge vs. Steal: Tiffany Jazz Ring Trio


Splurge vs. Save: Tiffany Jazz Ring Trio

Tiffany & Co.'s stackable Jazz Ring Trio is utterly timeless in platinum and diamonds, but the $9,300 pricetag makes it out of reach for many of us. Luckily, Stella & Dot has a lovely lookalike that's just $49. I love how you can wear these rings stacked as a trio or separate for a unique, personalized look. They're delicate yet make a big statement at the same time.
