Gold on Gold on Gold.

8.15.2013

I recently have been on a jewelry binge where all I want to do is buy beautiful gold necklaces. Every store I go into, it's straight to the jewelry section to see what new goodies I can find. I've started to experiment with layering so mixing different styles and lengths of necklaces has been a nice update to my accessories.

Fave Friday :: Etsy Jewelry Shops.

7.12.2013

I just ordered a beautiful black onyx drop gemstone necklace from a fantastic ETSY shop. I absolutely love Esty. I've found some incredible pieces and I really love how many of the designers make only a few pieces so you purchase 'almost' a one of a kind piece. Today, I thought I would introduce you to my favorite Etsy shops. Enjoy. 



ONE: By far my favorite shop. SHOPKEI by Kayla Tones - Absolutely stunning pieces. I seriously want to buy everything from this shop. The stones are beautiful and the chains are a delicate gold that are perfect for layering as you can see in the image above. 

TWO: SEA AND CAKE by Stephanie Hughes is a shop specializing in bridesmaid jewelry, nautical jewelry, and gemstone pieces. I'm obsessed. The gemstone pieces are incredible and so dainty. I love the drop piece in the image above. It looks great alone and I'm sure as well layered. I love the GOLD BAR pieces as well. Love love. Did I say love?

THREE: AYLIN MADDEN is a shop with simple pieces that are great to incorporate into your jewelry collection. They are beautiful everyday pieces in both gold and silver and are great to mix up together. Really love the SLAVE BRACELET pieces as well as the evil eye necklaces. 

Do you have an Etsy shop you are crazy about? Please share! I'd love to discover more designers and unique pieces. 

Hope everyone has a happy weekend!

Accessory Trend: Ear cuffs.

12.04.2012

Ear cuffs. Can't say I was the biggest fan of them before. I always felt like they were worn by the girls who tried to be rebels and just make their parents angry by getting too many piercings and such in middle and high school. But like almost all things, designers get a hold of these not so chic trends and make them, well, chic. Add some glitz with fine jewels and metals and exaggerate the size and the result is a very glamorous accessory. Its kind of a show stopper so when wearing it, make sure to keep the hair simple as well as the neckline. 
Of course, Man Repeller wore it out the other day so it is starting to be the 'it' accessory to have but I discovered a beautiful ear cuff worn by Jessie Bush from We The People a couple weeks earlier and immediately fell in love. So elegant and glamorous. (Pictured right)

Cara Delevingne wore hers out to a red carpet event earlier this month and it also looks very stunning and glamorous with her hair slicked back into a bun but again, I can't get enough of Bush's ear cuff. It has a really great vintage look with the pearls and diamonds but doesn't overwhelm. Ugh, I love it so much! 

Some shopping options:

What do you think of this ear cuff trend?

Update: I finally found out who makes the beautiful ear cuff Bush is wearing (right image). Made by Jewelry designer Ryan Storer who has almost sold out of his ear cuffs so get it while you can! Check out this design and more here.

Juste un Clou.

11.07.2012

Juste un Clou, the latest collection from the luxury jewelry brand Cartier that includes rings and bracelets. Now a iconic piece by Cartier that debut in the 70's to symbolize the "rebellious spirit and raw energy of New York City" at the time. These pieces are so beautiful with a tough design yet they look so elegant on a wrist (I tried a gold one on this past summer and almost ran out of the store with it so my parents HAD to buy it, but they figured out my plan, boo). The collection ranges from $2,175 to $34,650 and come in various materials from simple gold to the beautiful rose gold color with diamonds. Stunning.

Itty Bitty.

So excited about these dainty stackable gold rings I found online! They came in the mail yesterday and I can not wait to wear them.

Lusting over

6.03.2012

These small gold bands are so pretty and delicate! You can never layer on enough of these. I'm looking to purchase some thin gold ones for my knuckles. Catbird has some great rings and you can also find some beautiful hand made ones on Etsy.

Spike it!

4.22.2012


I'm REALLY loving all these spiked bracelets I've been seeing so much online and on tumblr! I love jewelry that can double as a weapon because, well, you never know....
I'm a huge fan of layering bracelets until I can't lift up my arm and these look so fun to add to all my arm candy. My favourites are probably by CC Skye. Asos makes some cute ones too on the less #$$$ side. I love gold coloured anything though so I'm leaning more towards the CC bracelet. So, hopefully I'll be adding this lovely piece to my collection soon. 

What do you guys think of the SPIKES?

Freedom in Solitude.

3.31.2012

The fairy tale began with sisters Elizabeth and Isabella who wanted to channel their inner gypsy spirits into a collection filled with leathers, metals, and feathers. They design accessories, clothes, and shoes. Based in Australia this duo of free spirited ladies have really hit the mark on a cool neo-hippie/boho style. Thankfully, even though they are half a continent away, you can shop online and they ship worldwide!





My Week via Instagram.

3.26.2012

1. I received the April issue of Marie Claire magazine featuring Leighton Meester whom I LOVE. I haven't had enough time to sit down and read through it all yet but I'm definitely making some time now that I'm on break. 

2. I just bought some new Essie nail polish that is the perfect mix of red and orange for spring time and this Low Luv ring in a vintage gold color. It's a fun ring with the perfect edge. You can find it here.

3 & 4.  I did some shopping with my Mother this weekend and we stumbled upon Two Hands Paperie. It's a beautiful paper store that is bursting with elegant stationary, art books, and anything and everything you could want for paper options. As an artist, I literally was in a mini heaven. We spent about an hour just browsing and I ended up purchasing some much needed moleskin notebooks. I will be back their soon though to buy nice papers and for some of the most whimsical celebration cards. 

Hope everyone had a fantastic week and weekend and Happy Monday!
