Oct 26, 2016 | Bridal Jewelry
In the past, I?ve spent time focusing on jewelry for wedding guests as well as engagement and wedding rings; however, I have yet to discuss the bride?s jewelry for her wedding day! Bridal jewelry is always a fun topic, because it revolves around a beautiful couple celebrating their love and happiness. A woman?s wedding day is one of the most important days of her life. Looking the best from head to toe is absolutely essential. Determining what jewelry looks best for your wedding day can be a whirlwind. Your personal style, your wedding?s theme/feel, and your wedding gown will all be major factors when choosing your pieces. Not only will your gown?s color come into play, but also your gown?s fit and neckline will play a role. Let me help you navigate your way to the perfect bridal jewelry look for your wedding with some simple advice. First, let the color of your wedding gown guide you to an overall color for your jewelry. If your dress is pure white, stay away from gold jewelry, because it will clash. With a pure white gown, it is best to stick to either pearl or platinum jewelry. For an ivory gown, gold jewelry looks best because of the gold undertones in the ivory color. For a diamond white gown, which is slightly…
Oct 19, 2016 | Fall Jewelry
Now that fall is here, it?s only a matter of time before it starts to cool down a little and the leaves begin to change color. Fall is the perfect time of year to get outdoors and enjoy the beauty of nature. I love going on hikes with my friends or even on a date with a new guy! It?s the perfect setting to get to know one another. Of course, I can?t go anywhere?especially on a date?without throwing on some kind of bling. While wearing jewelry to go hiking definitely isn?t necessary, I have some tips just in case you want to glitz up your outdoor outfit. The first thing to be aware of when accessorizing for a hike is the material of your jewelry. While everyday jewelry is usually silver or gold, you should go more natural when out in nature. Try choosing jewelry that is made of leather or hemp. I have a leather-braided bracelet I wear when going outdoors that is super cute and matches everything. With more natural materials, your jewelry will blend in with the environment around you, and it will also be more resilient to the outdoors! The material of your jewelry is important for style, but it?s also important for practicality as well. You want your pieces to be water and sweat…
Aug 15, 2016 | Festival Fashion
I don?t know about you guys, but I absolutely love all the amazing outdoor activities that the summer and fall bring. My schedule is already packed with bonfires, hikes, and cookouts with friends. But I?ve also made room for one of my favorite events–music festivals! It seems like the number of music festivals is on the rise every year, and I try to attend whenever I can. Not only do I hear live music, but I meet so many interesting people, too. I always have a blast. But let me tell you–trying to find an outfit that is comfortable (especially in the sticky heat of summer and early fall) yet fashionable can be a real pain. Luckily, festival fashion has grown in popularity (hello fringe shirts!), so I usually don?t have much trouble on the clothing side of things. And I have a few tips and trends I always follow that make accessorizing with jewelry a breeze. Festivals are hot and crowded, and you?re usually on your feet most of the time. So I never want anything too bulky or heavy. Simple, lightweight pieces are best. And I recommend leaving the expensive, sentimental jewelry at home. You don?t want to worry about grandma?s pearl ring slipping off while you?re getting your dance on. My go-to style for festival jewelry is…
