Knuckle Sandwich

We haven't looked at rings in a while, and a trend I'm loving is the midi ring. Those delicate smaller pieces that rest just above your middle knuckle.

Shopbop, Elizabeth and James Miror Knuckle Ring, $95

A lovely delicate ring set that is connected with a fine chain.

Etsy, Sterling Silver Knuckle Ring, $22

I'm not much for festivals, but even I can get on board with this Coachella-esque ring!

Shopbop, Maya Magal Midi Outline Ring, $82

I love the simplicity of this ring. The outline vs a gold fill is quiet and easy.

Dogeared, Midi Love X Ring, $32

A great cross design makes this ring extra special. That, and it's on sale.

Have you tried the midi ring trend? Does the placement drive you nuts or is it easy to get used to?

Say It Girl

A few weeks ago I posted some items that sparked my fire when it came to my feelings on the political climate. Today's post won't be so bold but perhaps a bit more peaceful, which I think we need. Personal deep breaths for everyone and persist.

 Nordstrom, MantraBand She Believed She Could So She Did, $25

Amen sisters.

Shoptiques, Mud Pie Make Your Luck Bracelet, $19

Another form of yolo.

Revolve, Wanderlust + Co Girl Gang Bangle, $55

#Preach

Lean in, support each other, be brave.

Be Kind and Be Smart

It's been a tumultuous first week for our country. I thought we should take today to express how many of us feel and showcase some pretty epic political wear.

Simple statement piece and it supports small business.

Amazon, Mt Nasty Shirt, $16

How about a choker necklace that says how every Spice Girl feels?

Bottom line, no matter how angry you might be right now, try to remember to be kind. Being kind is the only way we are going to get through this.

Gift Guide: Handmade

Some of the best gifts are personal, unique, different. What makes them better is knowing they're handmade with love from a small business owner. You all know and love Etsy, so I thought I would sift through the thousands of items on the site and pull out some fantastic gifts.

Riding My Pony

There are certain days of the week when I've slept on wet hair, or should have washed it the night before and it's just not looking... as they say... on fleek. So I turn to a ponytail, but why go with a boring hair tie? Dress up your tough hair day with a pony holder that shines.

Anthropologie, Bow Tied Pony Holder, $12

Just wow. Simple, feminine, and a touch decadent.

Etsy, Feather Ponytail Holder, $6

Its the simple things that make this unique. I'd get both gold and silver.

Ulta, Capelli New York Oversized Pom White Pony Holder, $7

Feeling sassy? I'm planning to strut into the office on a Monday with this bad boy on.

Mark and Graham, Tortoise Ponytail Holder, $29

Preppy, classic, and personal.

So don't fret those bad hair days. Have some fun with them with these beautiful hair ties.

Going in Circles

There is something quite simple and dramatic about a hoop earring. The hoop earring is as classic as the pearl. It goes with everything and you can dress it up, down, and everything in between. There are a zillion hoop earring options out there, today I thought we would look at some classic but unique gold and silver earrings.

Amazon, Jules Smith Girls Night Out Hoop, $28

See? Unexpected but not distracting.

Shoptiques, Officina Bernardi Silver Hoop Earrings, $70

I absolutely love beaded metal. I think it is super feminine and a bit warmer than a standard flat metal.

NY & Company, Oval Shaped Hoop Drop Earring, $9

How night out at the museum are these earrings? So very chic!

Etsy, Hoop Sterling Silver Icicle Earring, $68

These earrings are magical. They are light and mysterious and best of all, handmade in Seattle.

Hoop earrings are not just from Mean Girls era, they are the accessory that will be with us a century from now because they don't age and they don't go out of style.

Work It Out

Sometimes I work out. Like not a lot, but enough that I have small drawer of clothes that I'm ok sweating in. I love work out clothes that make me smile. They're cheeky, sarcastic, honest, basically what I'm feeling when I'm working out.

Etsy, Namastay in Bed Tank, $14

Right? Let's just savasana under the covers.

Head Case

Happy Monday lovebugs,
I hope you had a good weekend. The man and I went with some friends to the Gold Cup and had a grand time.  The people watching was amazing and the hats were even better. And that's the inspiration for today's post: statement headbands. They make me smile and you are going to get a ton of compliments.

Nordstrom, L. Erickson Prim Bow Headband, $38

How lovely and feminine is this metal headband. It also comes in half a dozen colors.

Etsy, Five Felt Flower Headband, $13

Who doesn't love supporting small business? Its like not loving puppies. This lady is crushing some adorable felt floral headbands.

Target, Pink Pewter Silver Stretch Headband, $14

Apologies for the poor picture, but I really love this headband. I think it would add some sparkle to a simple sundress.

Anthropologie, Nymphaea Headband, $28

White dress, this headband, and some bright sandals. 

A great hair accessory is such a clutch thing to add to your closet. You pull it out and you instantly feel pretty and unique. Not that you aren't that all of the time. You totally are, but sometimes you need a little something extra. A statement.
