I love accessories and if you've been keeping up with me that shouldn't come as a surprise to you. I mean, I have a weakness for all accessories and I blame my Mom entirely. Yes Joan, if you're reading this, it's all your fault!!!

Growing up I would be in awe of Mom's extensive collection and played with all her pieces. She has accessories in every color, size and shape. From jewelry, to belts, to scarves, sunglasses and shoes; that woman is the #accessoryqueen. 

I post a a lot of my accessories on IG from my very own collection and often get asked for sources. Today I'm sharing a few pieces & linking to similar ones as many of my accessories are vintage, belonged to Mom or are no longer available. Continue reading to see what I have lined up for you! It's pretty darn good!

This is no ordinary robe, no ordinary robe (sing in Sade voice). Yes! I'm wearing a robe but this is no ordinary robe! It's a vintage rose print robe that's lined with red velour that will keep you warm and cozy while turning heads for many reasons. Many will be confused as to why you're wearing your bath robe outside but let them wonder in delight because you're slaying.

It's almost Valentine's and if you're picking out your outfit, I'd like to challenge you to step outside the red/pink box and try something different. As you know I love me some pink & red but this Valentine's I wanted to mix it up a bit.

Enter the Bumble Bee with it's black and yellow stripes!

The inspiration for this look actually came from a simple pair of Bumble Bee earrings I got at Target years ago. Now head below the jump to see the full look! 

Who's pumped for Valentine's?!!! I know some roll their eyes at the thought of V-Day but I love this time of year, except for the cold weather in NYC. I'm thinking about flowers and color palettes bursting with red and pink and that simply warms my heart as I'm currently buried under 10 feet of snow. 

Last year I shared my sentiments so I won't share again but if you'd like to get my take on Valentine's or just see my old guide, head over here to do so. 

Now without further ado, let's jump into this year's round up with my #poetryfail that highlights the theme of each board in the most ridiculous manner. Enjoy & have a wonderful weekend filled with love! 

I celebrated my 30th birthday with a 4 day weekend full of activities and you know I had to bring the outfits out! I shared Part 1 of my Vintage Thirty and now I want to share Part 2 with all my looks as well as the places I visited. 

Yaaasssssss!!!! I turned 30 this month and had a blast doing so. I planned on sharing this post sooner but between all the birthday celebrations and work, I had no time to do so until now.

Honestly, I'm super tired and have a ton of work to complete for LinkedIn, and some things to tend to for Mom so I'll keep this post short and sweet on the words and heavy on the images. I have another piece I want to share with you but will do so when I'm not trying to do 100 things at once. 

Now you're probably wondering why Krystle's Vintage Thirty, so let me explain. If you couldn't tell, I LOVE VINTAGE. Now besides my deep love, something usually becomes vintage after about 25 years, so I waited 5 more years after turning 25 to ensure I was in the clear. I don't actually think this refers to people but hey, it's my birthday and I make my own rules, damn it! Now even a Vintage Thirty wouldn't be complete without tropical flavor, after all my name is Krystle DeSantos! Now let's dive into some of the images from my 30th birthday weekend. 

It was a Modern-Vintage, Tropical-Glam Christmas over at my place this year or what I call Krysmas (get it?😂)! 

I shared a few images on Instagram with you alrady but wanted to share a few more before the holiday spirit packs up her bags and heads out the door.

It's time to let your wild side out! To sparkle and shine! To be a walking tinsel tease! New Year's Eve is tomorrow darlings and I hope you have a shimmery outfit ready to razzle dazzel 'em. If  not, you're in luck. Some leftover tinsel from Christmas and an old pair of heels are all you need to glamorize your NYE outfit. Pair these heels with a simple black dress to make a statement or go all out with a sequin or jeweled number.

A few weeks prior to Christmas (can you believe it's already over?), I ventured to my old stomping ground in SoHo. I was finally able to visited Society Social's, 73 Spring Shop popup after not being able to make it the last 2 years. I also did a bit of vintage shopping, thrifting and eating as well and wanted to share a few of the photos with you. I'm feeling a little lazy today, so I'm not going to write much.

I am off from work and should only be watching classic movies and eating ice cream but with all the holiday festivities, I didn't get a chance to share the images with you, especially those of the pop-up shop. Do enjoy and now back to Move Over, Darling and ginger ice cream (I made myself).

Wishing you a wonderful & Merry Christmas filled with the love, family, friends and good food! 

Can you believe we're in the last month of 2016 already? I feel as though the year flew by and now Christmas is just a few weeks away. Before you know it we'll be ringing in the new year!

As I close out this year on the blog, I want to highlight my love for color and create a look dedicated to the colors of the year; Rose Quartz and Serenity.
