Accessories Access: Summer’s Must-Have Bracelets!

Posted on by

With temperatures rising, I’m always looking for comfortable & lightweight clothing to wear that’s stylish & special. Usually, I downplay my accessories game since I don’t like the feeling of various metals on my skin when spending the day outside in the sun. However, there’s a chic ease of a bracelet with a maxi dress & wedges, tank & linen shorts, or blouse & joggers, which is why I’m recommending these fabulous finds:

SHOP: Universal Thread cylinder beaded stretch bracelet @Target ($12.99).

SHOP: Universal Thread smooth bar stretch bangle bracelet set @Target ($12.99).

SHOP: Universal Thread simulated leather & tube slider magnetic bracelet @Target ($12.99).

SHOP: Universal Thread simulated suede with chain overlay magnetic bracelet @Target ($12.99).

SHOP: Universal Thread semi-precious white howlite & sunstone stretch multi-strand bracelet set @Target ($12.99).

Tonight’s Academy Awards have so much controversy & hype surrounding them—who has been nominated & who should win, but my main concern is: what will attendees be wearing? Of course, gowns both sleek & dramatic make an impact on the red carpet, but I, personally, love getting a closer look at the dazzling diamonds, mesmerizing emeralds, & & more—all of which complete the overall story that each ensemble expresses. Here are some of my favorite jewelry moments, including necklaces, earrings, bracelets, & hair accessories.

What kind of necklace is your favorite to see on the red carpet? Who always gets it right? Which film are you rooting for? For more stylish posts, check out: the best metallic Oscar gowns of all time, $20 flower sandals, & must-have Sherpa pullovers! Happy Styling!

Living in Style: More Jewelry Organization Ideas!

Posted on by

During my recent escapade into the world of home organization—mainly for my cloffice & bedroom wardrobe space—I made an investment in pieces & fixtures to house my accessories collection. Although, my ambition was larger than it should have been since finally unpacking my duds & getting my sparkly style ducks in a row. Additionally, my favorite storage piece to keep in my bedroom for quick access to my most favorite & precious long strand necklaces & chain bracelets doesn’t even look like a typical organizer or jewelry box, which is exactly why I love it!

I purchased 2 of the eForCity 4-layer jewelry storage organizer from @Target (was $21.99), wanting to order 2 more, but by the time I found use for them, they were out of stock. However, I was able to find an identical piece from Amazon: the HengLiSam 4-layer rotatable jewelry accessory storage trays in white (on sale: $9.99), which are also made in black & pink for $10.99 each.

I decided to keep them in my bedroom for quick access, especially on a weekend when I don’t usually plan my outfits ahead of time, so that I could grab a staple long necklace & bracelet if a day of errands turned into family dropping by or going out to eat. Most pieces in each organizer are either neutral / all-purpose jewelry that would go with basically anything or something so special & treasured I want it handy right away. See below how it all turned out:

This is what it looks like closed!
They’re atop another duo of jewelry organizers & even though they’re a stark white against the ivory & beige tones of the bedroom, they’re so compact & useful, I actually don’t mind.

Would you use a jewelry storage piece such as this? Do you prefer a classic look to your jewelry boxes or something more modern & minimalist? How much of your accessories do you keep “out” & available on the regular?

Why Say “Or” When You Can Say “And” (For These Maxi Dresses)?!

Posted on by

I know I’m not the first to say that buying “one in every color” is worth the investment, but if there’s a staple piece of clothing (or accessory) that you love & just can’t live without, when why not? I have this philosophy typically when ti comes to cardigans & ballet flats, but with a busy summer ahead, I’m also applying this philosophy (& maybe fashion addiction excuse?) to the Goddess maxi dress @New York & Company.

I was first introduced to this dress last year & have since bought it in EIGHT different colors. It is super fashionable, very comfortable & breathable, & really, a classic maxi dress style that I will continue to wear for more summers to come. Truth: I bought it when I was very VERY pregnant last summer, which gave my big baby belly lots of room, but this is not a maternity dress. The banding underneath the bust was very forgiving & even now (not pregnant), I’m loving the flowing long skirt, which flatters my shape now. Not to mention that this dress can be style in a multitude of ways, easy breezy for weekend errands or dressed up for a special occasion! Most colors are available in sizes XS- XXL, which means that this dress really is for everyone!

I love accessorizing this dress with any number of cropped cardigans, long necklaces, oversized earrings, a denim jacket, & studded sandals. Every color of dress is a great foundation for some summer fun, coordinating with playful watermelon or pineapple accents, gawdy golds, or crisp white pieces.

SHOP: black pointelle shrug @dressbarn (shop plus size here), rimless gradient sunglasses @Forever 21, rose gold strappy sandals @David’s Bridal, stone pendant necklace @LOFT, large drop earrings @H&M, & charm bracelet @H&M.

If you’re in a quick bind of trying to figure out that one last piece to add to your outfit before you leave (no matter what other mantra you may have heard), maybe switch it up with some slitted leggings or one of these bracelets.  Right now, White House Black Market has these five items marked down to $20 & under.  You know, flower pins are a big trend that Carrie Bradshaw started & adding them to your twisted bun, on a floral tote, or pinned to your favorite pashmina would really glamorize any day look.  Not to mention these tights are only $8.99 & when some of their new items are a little costly, why not treat yourself to something inexpensive while you’re saving up for a flashier investment like a belted taffeta dress. Be sure to also check out some of their other marked down items, including these glass pearl earrings, black studded jeans, chino shorts, & a figure flattering mesh striped dress. Happy Styling!
