Halloween is right around the corner so of course, I am getting in the spirit with my jewelry this year! While there?s plenty of silly/tacky Halloween jewelry out there that will be perfect to complete your costume, it?s easy to stay fashionable with your jewelry around Halloween as well. As I?ve mentioned in the past, punk jewelry is coming back strong this fall. Punk jewelry can be perfect for Halloween, and don?t be afraid to add a little spooky flare. Here are some of my favorite themes to follow. Bad to the Bone I personally love skeleton jewelry, and it can work with certain looks year round. A rib cage cuff or knuckle ring is a perfect way to really transform an outfit from ordinary to edgy. This ring pictured here by Stephen Webster is so chic! You can also add some skeleton style to your outfit with a skull and crossbones necklace or handbag. Creepy Crawlers Snakes and spiders really bring out the Halloween spirit, but when the holiday season is over, you can still rock this theme with no problem. In fact, gold and silver snake necklaces can liven up pretty much any outfit. This one pictured here by Avant Garde Paris is very classy. A set of spider earrings or a spider brooch can also be worn…

As many of you may already know, the Emmy awards are this Sunday. What does that mean in my world? Fashion! I love watching awards shows just to see what each celebrity will wear on the red carpet. Of course, my eyes go straight to the jewelry! The jewelry that?s worn with a gown or a suit can make or break the entire look. Thankfully, many celebrities have amazing stylists to do all the work for them. But I want to let you all in on some helpful ways you can bring the celeb red carpet look home. 1. Cuff It Up Cuff bracelets are very trendy today, and celebrities are repeatedly bringing this trend to the red carpet. Cuffs make a statement, and there are so many ways to wear?them. While some celebs go with one simple cuff to complete their look, others will stack multiple chunky cuffs on their?arms. I love wearing a statement cuff bracelet over a tight, long-sleeve dress or top. However you choose to wear them, cuffs are a great way to get noticed and get in touch with your celebrity style! 2. Get Your Neckline Noticed Attention grabbing necklaces have always been in style both on and off the red carpet, but today?s celebrity trends up the ante. Many celebs are wearing long, flashy…

Hey everyone, Bridal season is in full swing, and while I?ve already talked about jewelry style for the wedding guest, now it?s time to talk about the main attraction?the bride! For just about any woman, the actual wedding day is the most important bridal moment. But the engagement takes top priority, too. Where a woman gets engaged (public or private space), how it happens (flash mob or dinner at a favorite restaurant), and the people involved (20 friends or just the couple) are major factors. And obviously the ring itself is a significant part of that moment and beyond. A woman?s engagement ring will likely be the most expensive piece of jewelry she ever owns. Along with the sentimental value that?s attached to it, finding the perfect ring to match your personal style?or to nudge?your significant other in the right direction?is crucial. Now I know that for a lot of ladies, engagement ring daydreaming starts on Pinterest early in a relationship, or even before there actually is a relationship. No judgment here! You deserve the best and most beautiful engagement ring, and it takes time to hone in on what fits that vision for you. There are so many different factors that are combined to create your ideal ring, such as the center stone size and cut, the setting, and…

I adore weddings. You eat delicious cake, dance the night away, and witness two people in love start the next chapter of their lives together. What?s not to like? But one of my favorite parts of a wedding doesn?t even happen at the actual ceremony or reception–it happens before. You know where I?m going with this. Yes, I love–and I mean love–choosing the perfect outfit to wear. Anytime I get to dress up and be fancy is a good time, so you know I?m going to get excited. The type of ceremony and reception I attend is usually my greatest outfit influencer. If I?m going to an evening shindig at a elegant venue, I might go for a long cocktail dress and heels. An outdoor afternoon wedding means I throw on a tea-length dress and wedges, and take a gauzy wrap if the weather is going to be on the cooler side. But there is one wedding fashion rule I try to keep in mind when choosing an outfit: Do not upstage the bride. This is obvious, but I?m mentioning it anyway. Weddings are not the place to debut that strapless white dress you found at last year?s Labor Day sales. And it?s not just about clothing?what jewelry you wear matters too. So, how do you look on point with…

Hi everyone, Welcome to my blog! I?m so glad you decided to check it out. I started writing this as an extension of my vlog series, where I show off some pretty fabulous jewelry from amazing designers and offer up style tips. I love what I do, and I really enjoy helping people discover new things that they?ll love, too. This blog is a way for me to continue doing that. Have you ever stopped to think how jewelry is so woven into our daily lives? We wear rings to symbolize our commitment of love to another person, or put on a string of heirloom pearls to remember a grandmother. We throw on a statement collar necklace if we?re in a bold mood on a Friday night, or a pair of delicate studs for an elegant, job-interview worthy look. Jewelry plays an essential role in how we represent our style and ourselves.? Starting from a young age, I?ve been lucky enough to interact with some of the world?s top jewelry designers. I grew up passionate about jewelry and fashion in general, and carried those interests with me when I went to college. A BA in Communications and Media Studies, a BA in Textiles Merchandising, and Design, and an MFA in Fashion Design later, and here I am, so excited to…
