The Tortoise and the Accessory

Let's talk tortoise. Tortoise is usually seen in glasses or homeware, but today we're looking at some fantastic tortoise jewelry. It's as classic as pearls and much more affordable.

JCrew, Mixed Tortoise Necklace, $55

A real stunner of a necklace. I'm wearing this all year round for the perfect pop with any outfit.

Lord and Taylor, Kate Spade Tortoise Studs, $38

You can't beat this price for a pair of Kate Spade studs that you can wear for work or play.

Express, Shell and Tortoise Bib Necklace, $27

Picture this with a cashmere turtleneck sweater or a simple white tee. Exactly. Do it all.

BaubleBar, Midi Tortoise Cuff, $32

Arm party of one? Yes. Also comes in a slim version.

These pieces are eye-catching and they don't break the bank. Tortoise is a classic look that you can pair with just about any color, print, or style. Always works.

The Tortoise and Your Ear

Happy humpday lovebugs,
Today I wanted to talk about some tortoise. We all know and love tortoise sunglasses, but recently, I'm really loving the casual cool of tortoise earrings. There is something very classy yet no frills about it.

Tory Burch, Walter, $78

Tory knows simple and chic and these studs do just that. I love the gold accents.

Macy's, Ralph Lauren Tortoise Hoop Earring, $40

I'm picturing these with a tweed blazer and jeans, super library cool.

Banana Republic, Tortoise Stud Earring, $29

Doesn't get more everyday wear than this. Use these for suits, shorts, jeans, or dresses.

Macy's, Kenneth Cole Gypsy Hoop Earrings, $32

I love these because they're so artistic. Eye catching and unexpected.

Tortoise is timeless and seasonless so find a piece that you love and spend a little bit more on it so you can have it forever. I promise they will be one of your go to signature items.
