Personal

I promise to keep the personal posts to a minimum, but I want anyone looking for a little motivation to get themselves physically fit to find it. I have never been a fan of working out. You work and work and work, and it can take sooooo long to see results. Frustration level high I know. But people, it can be done! And it can be fun! I started hitting the gym early this year and if I can do it so can you! I've done step classes, Zumba classes, hot yoga, cardio kickboxing and Pilates. Once I got over the initial "I don't want to be here" feelings I really enjoyed it and looked forward to all of it. (With the exception of hot yoga. Kills your hair and it's really just too damn hot!)


But most recently I attacked the beast that I really thought I would never attempt, outdoor running. I am not a runner. Period. But with the right support group and a little determination I did it. And I wasn't that bad! (all that aerobics came in handy!) I've been out 3 times now and although I don't love it, I don't entirely hate it either. Today I completed 5 miles in 1 hour, and from what I've been told that's pretty good for a beginner. I'm super proud and a little excited to see how much more I can push myself. If you live in a city with a Niketown store check to see if they have a run club. Everyone is super friendly and encouraging. And believe me when I say, if I can do it you can too!

My support and I after my first day out. Did 3.5 miles that day.



Now zip on over to the shop and get yourself something pretty to wear after your workout!

Tumblr Tuesday

Just some images I found that spoke to me. Enjoy!





















Strut over to the shop and grab some goodies!

White is Right

The classic white button up shirt is one of those must have staples that you can turn to again and again, season after season. It comes in all sizes and price points and when fitted properly adds instant polish to any outfit. We are big fans of the “no iron” Brooks Brothers version, right out of the dryer no muss no fuss! Took one for a spin out on the town recently tied at the waist with sequin hot pants, haute! Be it worn tucked into jeans, a leather skirt, Oversized with leggings, tied with hot pants or over a bathing suit, it’s instant chic.













Now that you’re inspired jet off to the shop and get yourself some accessories to go with that new (or old) white shirt!

Cuffing Season


We have named the phenomenon of suddenly seeking out a regular warm body for those long winter nights and even given the search a whole season. That’s right folks it’s cuffing season and it’s in full swing! Texts messages are picking up, the thirst at happy hour events is amplified, and the cutie you take the train with every morning is giving you extra eye. Be choosey, keep a fresh mani, a pair of versatile heels under your desk and a few cosmetics in your purse for quick touch-ups.
There are some hilarious blog posts out there, we loved this one, but most are geared towards guys. Some friends and I sat down and had a conversation about cuffing, and wanted to come up with some guidelines for the ladies.  The fruits of that conversation are summed up over at the Elle Files.

You never know where a relationship is headed be it good, bad or *gasp* ugly, so keep your eyes and ears open. Remember to have fun but most importantly ladies be safe and be smart and you’ll come out of the cuff ready to hit the ground running come spring!

One more!!!

If by some chance the king of the desert island from this post allowed us a second designer, you know because of “good behavior” or what not, we would have to go with Stella McCartney. Again the chic, sexy, cool pieces are just winners! On a plus (or minus) Stella doesn’t use animal products in her designs, only faux furs and leathers. Puppies and kitties aside, put that skin on our backs! Sorry! Enjoy the pictures anyway!













































I think these earrings are a great compliment to all of these looks!

Just one?!?!

If stranded on a desert island and allowed clothes from only one designer, we would pick Diana von Furstenberg without a doubt.


Why you ask would such a situation every arise? Hey we don’t have all the answers! Just go with it.

The people over at DVF, including Mrs. von Furstenberg herself have a real talent for creating clothes and accessories that are both chic and sexy with a little dash of sass. Every season we drool over her runway show and this fall was no exception. A few pictures if you please.

Missed it!

Here’s a necklace we stumbled upon when searching out new products for the shop.



We have a panel of “testers” here at TT, all with different styles and tastes. Some hated it, some loved it but untimely I decided not to offer it in the shop. A day later however I changed my mind, and wanted (needed?) it! Too my horror I was informed by the designer that she was all out of materials for this necklace!! *super sad face*






What do you think? Missed opportunity for greatness or not?
Don’t let this happen to you! Go shop now!

Solange Knowles

The girl once known only as Beyonce’s little sister is now known for her ability to make seemingly ordinary clothing into something genius! (as well as her awesome music.) With Solange’s brand of cool, around the way, sexy, bohemian style it’s not hard to see why she’s loved by bloggers, editors, and photographers around the globe. For us she can do almost no wrong. When she accessorizes it’s always tasteful and complementary, she doesn’t shy away from color and always tops an outfit off with killer heels, except of course, when she’s in flats. She’s an expert at mixing ethnic inspired pieces with more traditional fabrics and the faux fro she’s rocking these days has us super jealous as well as the great pair of legs Mama and Papa Knowles blessed her with. Girly is hot and a definite inspiration to the team here at Treasured Trinket. Check out some of the pictures of this style maven below.


If you happen to see this Solange we’re anxiously waiting on that album to drop!























Are you a fan of Solange's style?

Gallivant on over to the shop and find yourself some treasureable trinkets.
