Nov 1, 2016 | Halloween Jewelry
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…
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…
Sep 20, 2016 | Fall Jewelry
This Thursday marks the official beginning of fall! This is very exciting news because with fall comes new fashion, and specifically, new jewelry trends. I love the changing of the seasons, because it gives us the opportunity to completely overhaul our look. Every season, I incorporate something new into my jewelry wardrobe that complements my favorite, will-wear-them-forever pieces. I mentioned chokers in my last post, and I have been loving them for both casual and more elegant occasions. Here are some other interesting trends from New York Fashion Week that will be popular in the coming months. Interesting Earrings While this trend seems a little unorthodox, mismatched earrings are fall?s newest fad. Both celebrities on the red carpet and models on the runway are trying it out. With thi look, earrings should still coordinate in style or color, but should not be identical. I haven’t decided if I’ll be trying this trend out or not, as it is a little out there. However, if you have a bold style and decide to give it a go, comment below and let me know how it goes! A Punch of Punk Punk fashion has made a revival for the first time since the ?90s. Safety pins, unusual piercings, and ear cuffs have all been present on the runway recently. While I?m not…
