Startling Statement

I love a statement necklace but so often they are full of jewels and baubles that can dominate an outfit. So let's look at some eye-catching statement necklaces that don't rely on the usual chunky baubles but still make an entrance.

Nordstrom, Rebecca Minkoff Catalina Seed Bead Statement Necklace, $79

See what I mean? Pow.

Macy's, Ralph Lauren Gold Tone Multi Bead Statement Necklace, $77

Something totally different. Earthy feel to it but still dressy.

BaubleBar, Tiziana Statement Necklace, $68

A beautiful mix of nautical colors with a layered look.

Macy's, Rachel Roy Gold Tone Corded Tassel Statement Necklace, $55

This piece has a regal look to it. I love the mix of materials with this powerful red.

Sure a blingy statement necklace is always a go to piece in my closet, but try to mix it up with something powerful that is also unexpected.

When the Ball Drops

We all love tassel earrings, but one trend I am loving these days is the ball drop earrings. They are so playful and colorful but you can also dress them up with a sundress or dress them down with scalloped shorts.

Bloomingdale's, AQUA Margot Ball Drop Earrings, $25

A little preppy but a little dressy.

Nordstrom, BaubleBar Shimmer Crispin Drop Earrings, $48

Multicolor perfection. I'd pair this with jeans and a simple white tee.

Saks Off Fifth, Gemma Simone Triple Drop Pom Pom Earrings, $19

A little pink for summer? Don't mind if I do.

Shopbop, Shashi Tilda Earrings, $45

A great ombre earring with some dramatic length.

Let's party with some ball drop earrings!

Hoop Earrings Were Her Thing

Sometimes a statement earring can be daunting. Too big, too clingy, too many colors. And a simple hoop earring doesn't always do the trick. My advice, look for a circular drop earring that turns heads without being overwhelming.

Nordstrom, BaubleBar Cabana Drop Earring, $36

See what I mean? Simple but statement maker.

Sole Society, Turquoise Combo Le Carnival Teardrop Earring, $54

Colorful without being stuffy preppy. 

Last Call Neiman Marcus, Lydell NYC Crystal Wrapped Double Drop Earring, $24

Something more monochrome but no shortage on the beauty.

Asos, Statement Tassel Jewel Chandelier Earring, $24

Pretty fantastic combination of colors and textures.

Why wear hoops when you can wear something so much more fun?

Winter white is always beautiful to wear this time of year. I really love it in cashmere or a sleek wool pant, but what about accessories? Today we are looking at some beautiful white drop earrings that are dressy and feminine.

What a Stud...Set

Stud earrings are great accessory that comes in every style, metal, and color you can imagine. But why buy one pair of earrings when you can buy two, or three? The stud earring set is the best of both worlds! I love these stud sets because they give me great bang for my buck, and, sparkles.

These Earrings are My Gem

Let's have some fun with accessories today. I love a great ear crawler as a statement piece. But often they are heavy metal. Today, let's look at some gemtastic (technical term) ear crawlers.

Anthropologie, Lilac Crawler Earrings, $29

So feminine and delicate but a bit unexpected in a crawler format.

Lord & Taylor, Rectangular Ear Crawlers, $18

Yas. Party ready.

You know I love me some Kate Spade and these crawlers are no different. 

If the rocker look of the ear crawler gives you pause, you've got to try it with gems! These stones are playful and light and you can totally pull them off.
