1-2-3-4: I am counting the days...
for Fall weather to arrive to Sacramento. Until the cooler weather arrives, I intend to reign with my arsenal of autumnal colors donned in light weight fabrics. Today's outfit is one of my personal all time faves, a regal number centering around a charming smocked vintage blouse that buttons down the back. I'm ornamented with two incredible pieces, courtesy of Fringe, and feeling every bit an exalted ruler, ala Henry the VIII.
THIS IS HENRY:
THIS IS ME:

| Feeling Regal: investing in unique and quality pieces are a wise investment. |
Can you feel the royal resemblance?
The necklaces were a loan from Fringe, my first local Citizen Rosebud sponsor. You can expect more details about my recent collaboration with the folks of Fringe next week!
Here's some detail shots of these majestic pieces: |
| Royally Remade: This one-of-a-kind necklace was made by artist Eric Jensen |
 |
| Exalted History: this fabulous vintage find is actually fraternal memorabilia. |
Necklace 2: This velvet backed, gold-tone majestic metal necklace is heavy with history. It is an authentic piece of memorabilia of the fraternal society, the Elks Lodge. For more about the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, click HERE.
While I'm not one to wear a lot of jewelry and rarely warm up to necklaces, these magnificent pieces really sang my name! Long live King Bella!

I just want to add that I think you're awesome for wearing shorter shorts. I've fallen victim to that I'm "too old, body is too imperfect, blah blah blah" mindset. I'm really glad that you haven't
You're looking REGAL! Love that Liz the first quote x
You look WAY more regal than Henry VIII! I'm loving the necklaces, so amazing. Long live King Bella!
Amusing. I've never seen anyone take inspiration from a King before. On you, it works!
Those necklaces are so MAJOR!
Heck yes. You are totally regal, and I love the Henry the VIII comparison. Those necklaces are gorgeous, and I love that shirt! I want to see the back!
Very royal! I love it!
Thou art majestic beyond compare, O Queen of Sacramento! Your neck ware is pretty amazing. I was just at a Legion of Honor exhibit and was just thinking how fun it would be to wear those Elizabethan collars (white accordion around the neck)! xxx
I am so excited for fall weather. youhavenoidea. Bring on the skinny jeans, knee-high boots, leather jackets, and scarves!!! I am not, however, excited for spending 20 minutes a night blow-drying my long-ass, thick hair.

I keep looking at my cutoffs thinking "Can I? Should I?" I really WANT to wear them in an outfit post, maybe with tights. I love that you wear your with regal aplomb! Your shirt is really great too.
It's kinda cooling off down here. Foggy in the mornings but warm and humid in the afternoons. Like you I'm wearing fall colors in Summer weight fabrics.

Your highness....you are fabulous...where is your crown?? I have to second those who said you look great in shorts!! So envious!
I bow in your general direction. Those necklaces are works of art, I do so wish I could find funky stuff like that. You have a gift girlfriend!
Now those are statement necklaces. And their statement? I RULE.
Did you get a hair cut? I LOVE it. And your cool Target shades.
You're much better looking than Henry VIII, but yes, the royal look rocks!
That necklace is a beast! (in a good way might I add!)
I would love one.

haha, brilliant!
Only YOU could have given such a "royal" twist to a smock-and-denim-shorts outfit! I bow down before thee, O King!!! ;)
Regal, royal and chic all at the same time. Bella the Great!
Bella, you look so beautifully bold in brown! Love the regal necklace my dear.

You are so good to adding fun to every outfit and story you write! Love that Feist song and video!
Too cute! Love the necklaces! ^_^
I have a thing for chocolate brown summer tops like yours. I own a couple of them and they're my favorites for warm weather. Something about that color! I'm usually much more into bright colors but I've always been drawn to dark brown for some reason.
Congrats on the sponsor! Was just watching The Tudors last night and was lusting after these very kind of necklaces. You've brought it to life for me.

This is fantastic! I adore those necklaces. I just watched the Tudors in the Spring and I wished we still had necklaces like that. And here you are wearing these fabulous creations! Love it!!
Definitely see the resemblance ;) You are rocking the bling!
