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.

Give Me A "P"!

How can you not love the pom pom trend? It's fun and colorful on sandals, bags, you name it. Today, I thought we would play with some pom pom bracelets. Great for layering or just adding a pop of color to your outfit.

Simple and I love the addition of those colorful beads.

Red and black is always a great combination and this one adds a tassel to the mix!

This is technically an anklet but I think it could be worn either way.

Great texture on this bracelet set.

The colorful soft pom pom bracelet is great for summer. It can pair with shorts or chambray, white eyelet, or chiffon. Easy.

Short Stack

Happy Monday lovebugs,
It's a short week for me because I'd headed to New Hampshire midweek to join my family on vacation. I'm trying to contain my excitement and generally what helps is something shiny. So today we're looking at ring sets. They are delicate but bold in the simplest way.

Michael Kors, Pave Rose Gold Tone Ring, $75

This is almost scientific or astronomy-esque in design. 

Rebecca Minkoff, Pearl Wrap Ring, $58

Artsy, isn't it? This is a date night accessory.

Madewell, Soundloop Stacking Ring Set, $28

Like a said before, delicate but eye catching.

BaubleBar, Whimsy Ring Set, $58

Girly colors meet rocker set. I picture Demi Lovato rocking out in these.

Such a simple addition to your accessory game that makes a big impact. Pick your metal color, bling, and have some fun!

Where My Girls at...

Earring trends have really had their time this year. The ear jacket, crawler, cuff, you name it! Let's add one more to the trend- the front to back studs.

A stunner in rose gold and the pearl mixed with bling and an arrow? So different.

The earrings have been quite the trend this year and I love it. Give the statement necklaces a break and dress up your lobes.

Cuff Her

You what trend I'm having some trouble with loving? The ear cuffs. Who thought of this? Why? Why do we need to cuff the ear? But then I saw wearable options. The good people from Sole Society and BaubleBar who took this runway idea and made it workable for us normal folk. Let me show you.

How about a throw everything in bag? How about a classy but easy leather pouch? How about a monogram, or a metallic, or just a simple pastel?

Neon is still a big trend this fall and what better way to not break the budget then getting some great neon shoes? Here are a mix of flats and heels but they're all bright!

Gold Details

Happy Monday lovebugs.  I don't know about you but this weekend seemed a day too short.  I hope yours was enjoyable!

Today I want to zero in on one of my favorite details- gold.  When I wear gold I feel like a lady because my mom always wore gold and growing up this metal is what I equated with maturity, class and elegance.

Gold jewelry would be an easy post, but I'm getting more specific.  Gold hardware. Belt buckles, buttons, etc.

Rebecca Minkoff, Brooke Sandal, $99

These gold buckles add just the right amount of bling to these otherwise sassy heels.

Asos, Honor Gold Maxi Dress, $74

Wow.  The gold detail right by the shoulder, just wow.

Aldo, Teem, $55
Ok Aldo, this is Cole Haan meets Birkin meets Kors, well done.

Michael Kors, Light Brown Leather Studded Cuff, $53
Motorcycle hard and sophisticated chic.

I really love gold details because it grounds an outfit.  Gold details give any outfit the class that you always envy your mother for.
