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…

When investing in fine jewelry, it is so important to keep your collection cleaned and cared for. By taking good care of your jewelry, it will keep its value longer and continue to look fabulous as you wear it year after year. We often overlook the smallest details that can make a big difference when it comes to cleaning and maintenance. I?m definitely no exception. Because I wear them so often, I sometimes forget to take care of my favorite pieces. So to help you (and myself) out, I?m going to give some tips that will ensure your jewelry looks its best every day.? 1.Wearing The first part of caring for your jewelry is knowing when you should actually wear it. I have a favorite silver bracelet that I keep on at all times. I even forget to take it off at the gym, which is not good! Sweat and water can harm your jewelry over time, so make sure you remove your jewelry for bathing, manual labor, and active events. Also, don?t put your jewelry on in the mornings until after you have applied lotion, makeup, and perfume. Harsh chemicals can cause your jewelry to tarnish more quickly. Being more mindful of when you should take your jewelry off will help it look better for longer when you have…

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…
Sep 6, 2016 | Vacation Jewelry
I love to travel. Whether it’s a road trip to a sunny Florida beach, a weekend away in a city I’ve never been to, or an extended stay in a more exotic locale, I enjoy exploring and experiencing new things. From trying the local cuisine to visiting the cultural hot spots, there’s always something new to discover. And getting there can be fun, too! It’s so exciting to jump in a car or board an airplane and know that you’ll soon be in a completely different place. Because I know how important it is to remain fashionable while away, today I?m going to give you some pointers on traveling with your jewelry. What you should take, what you should leave at home, what you should pair together–I?m going to cover it all. Packing for vacation can be a pain. What clothes and shoes you take depend on factors like weather and your planned activities, so you have some guidance there. But deciding what jewelry to bring with you can be a challenging task. While you want to look as fabulous as possible during your time of relaxation and fun, you also don?t want to risk losing your most valuable jewelry. When packing for your trip, my first bit of advice is to leave your expensive and/or sentimental jewelry at home!…

Hey everyone, I?m having a pretty fabulous time preparing for my upcoming vlog shoot next week, where I?ll be featuring some amazing bridal jewelry. I?m of the belief that you don?t have to be a prospective bride (or even be in a relationship) to appreciate engagement rings and wedding bands, and that?s especially true of the pieces I?ll be sharing with you. I think you?re going to love the mix of metals and variety of designs, many of which have these little exquisite details that make the rings extra special. ??? As you can see, today I got to dress up and have a pre-vlog photo shoot. It was so fun, and I can?t wait to share more pictures from it with you soon. Be sure to visit my Facebook and Instagram pages for more behind-the-scenes greatness!
