Cleaning and Caring For Your Jewelry

Cleaning and Caring For Your Jewelry

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…

Summer Stylin’

Hi friends! I don?t know about you, but I?m currently inside, glued to my air conditioner, and I never want to leave. Most mornings just making the trek from house to car feels like I?m walking through an oven. In fact, I?m pretty sure my hair is frizzing up every time I just look out the window. We?re in the dog days of summer, and I just want to stay inside, or possibly move to Antarctica. But because you know, I?m a person who has work and a life and stuff, I do have to venture outside. The one thing that makes these sweltering days a bit more bearable is SUMMER FASHION (in all caps because I love it that much). My usual summer go-to is a patterned sundress and wedges or a cute shirt/shorts combo paired with gladiator sandals. And of course my outfit isn?t complete without a little bit of bling. There are a few hot jewelry trends that have really been popular this summer and that I?ve been incorporating into my daily fashion routine. And the great thing is that they are so easy for anyone to wear! It?s All in the Details I love making a bold statement with a big necklace.

It’s Wedding Season! Be the Best Dressed Guest

It’s Wedding Season! Be the Best Dressed Guest

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…
