Elements

Have you embraced online magazines? While they may never be quite the same as their paper counterparts, I do love the convenience - you can view them on your iPad and can take as many issues as you'd like; you can take a screen shot and add it immediately to your inspiration folder or Pin it to Pinterest (despite my best intentions I almost never get around to scanning my paper mags). You never have to worry about an over flowing magazine rack either.

When they are completely free, like the Swarovski Elements magazine, you have nothing to lose.
Swarovski Elements just launched a new iPad app, which will download new issues the instant they come out. Of course if you don't have iPad, you can still enjoy the magazine on their website.

In the current issue I was drawn to the "Rock Chic" and "Think Big, Bold and Beautiful" segments, so I put together this look, incorporating the spikes and crystals with the mixture of jewel tones and pastels.

  1. I haven't yet gotten into online magazines...that's because I don't have an Ipad..yet..so my stack of magazines are always piled really high until I get aggravated and throw them all out...what a waste. I love this outfit and the splash of color from the motorcycle jacket!

  5. I still kind of like flipping through magazines and doing the dog ear thing, but the electronic magazines are great for instant pinning.

    Love this dress on you! Heather

  11. Oh, my the color of that blazer is so perfect on you! It is just dreamy with your dark hair. I love how you styled this with a more edgy necklace. Adds some definite interest to the ensemble!

  13. I like digital magazines for when I travel because when I have the paper ones I don't really get that great of use out of them and then I end up throwing them away. So for when traveling I just get them on my kindle and I can enjoy them for longer. I love that blazer on you!

  14. I have an iPad, but I don't usually read magazines on it. I usually read magazines o during takeoff and landing on airplanes, when they don't let me use my iPad.

  26. I have actually not read any online magazines yet! I guess I'm really behind on my technology. The Swarovski online magazine looks great though, and I love the outfit you put together!

  28. No iPad here, but... I have been thinking about the mini. I have a problem with technology and always wanting it! Probably comes with doing social media.

    I love how this dress makes the look a soft rocker chic! Think the jacket color contributes a little, too.

    I am in the process of (please please I hope so) getting a new apartment. Please come visit one weekend!
