I’m definitely a jewelry addict—this, I know. If there’s a mega-sale, I’m on it. Since last week was Mother’s Day, naturally, I treated myself to some must-have can’t-miss deals, including one of the prettiest necklaces that I really just want to wear every. single. day.

SHOP: Charter Club two-tone crystal palazzo long station 42” necklace @Macy’s (on sale: $9.86).

I love the gold & silver tones, as well as the bling & length for a variety of blouses, pullover sweaters, maxi dresses, especially when looking to keep the accessorizing light when the temperatures start to rise. Check out my photos of the necklace against a bold pop of Barbie-core pink!

Accessories Access: These Earrings are for the Birds!


Throughout the year, I like to have fun with my stud earrings, mixing up a quintet of studs in colorful, tasteful, & stylish ways since most days, I fill my 5 piercings in each ear with great variety. I love adding a fruit into the mix, but from time to time, an animal also appears, including birds! I’ve had my eye on these for some time now:

SHOP: LC Lauren Conrad bird stud earrings @Kohl’s (on sale: $6.00).

I love the orange-blue-green-white color combination, especially against the gold-tone. It’s a bright, playful addition to any look & adds a spring touch against a tunic sweater & leggings or midi dress & duster cardigan.

Red Carpet Review: The Most Gorgeous Jewelry from the 2023 Oscars, Including Lady Gaga, Halle Bailey, & More!


I could spend hours upon hours just zoning out looking at jewelry store window displays, marveling at the beauty, craftsmanship, & sparkle of earrings, necklaces, bracelets, rings, brooches, & more. When the stars hit the red carpet, the wonder & excitement just amplifies, especially considering the legendary jewelry designers that are featured, along with elegant & dramatic gowns. I can’t help but think back to all of the mesmerizing emeralds that graced the red carpet in awards shows of the past, but I’m so glad there are more vibrant references to add!

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?

As always, I’m a sucker for one of each, especially when it’s a classic item that can coordinate with nearly any look. This is Aldi the case when I’m thinking about jewelry—do I get the gold, rose gold, or silver? However, for the right price, why not get all 3?

SHOP: Time & Tru crystal stone delicate pendant necklace in gold-tone, rose gold-tone, & silver-tone @Walmart ($3.88).

These charming, yet stylish pendants are perfect for any button-down, as well as a mandarin collar blouse. The peek of some sparkle is a chic finishing touch—& how could you go wrong with the price?!

Accessories Access: Bright & Beaded Earrings from SUGARFIX by BaubleBar!


Since my work week includes 2 night at my second job, I sometimes have the opportunity to change outfits from the typical gussied-up classroom look to something more laid back, but still fashionable. This usually entails—at least at this time of the year—a cozy pullover sweater & a big earring or necklace that might otherwise be too “extra” for the day. I’ve had my eye on several “big” earrings lately & can’t wait to hop on board this next bright beadwork accessories trend:

SHOP: SUGARFIX by BaubleBar beaded tassel earrings in pink & red @Target ($12.99).

SHOP: SUGARFIX by BaubleBar beaded tassel statement earrings in green, pink, blue, & white @Target ($12.99).

I’m always on the lookout for dazzling baubles to add to my collection or recommend to readers & that includes classic pieces that can be worn for a day at the office or special occasion. Obviously, I love accessories that come in a variety of colors too, which brings me to today’s selection:

SHOP: Charter Club pavé & imitation pearl slide bracelet in tri-tone, gold, navy, pearl, rose, & red @Macy’s (on sale: $14.70).

Personally, I love mixed metals & rose gold, but I’m drawn to the red & navy options to pair with a blouse & pencil skirt with a cardigan & heels for work. For the discounted price, why not?

Some of my favorites include Sadie Sinks gentle waves, Madelyn Cline’s side part & statement earrings, Lily James’ bangs & winged eyes, Kerry Washington’s lush curls & drop earrings, Janelle Monae’s modern earrings & glossy lips, Niecy Nash-Betts’ EVERYTHING, & Cate Blanchett’s golden ‘do & earcuff.

Accessories Access: The Boldest, Most Colorful Statement Necklaces of the Season!


It’s no secret that I love a statement necklace. Even when I doubt whether or not I should wear one because it’s too gaudy or extreme for a day in the office, I have to trust my first instinct in that I invested in the piece, have a vision for it, & wearing sparkly accessories is just a part of who I am, I should just embrace it, going for it with the right kind of look. During one of many recent forays clicking around New York & Company‘s website, I discovered the following 2 necklaces, 1 of which is already on stand-by to wear, & the other I’m waiting for to reduce in price.

SHOP: glass flower statement necklace @New York & Company (on sale: $35.97).

SHOP: multicolor glass link necklace @New York & Company (on sale: $23.97).

The flower necklace is the one I’m still thinking about, but if the right reward deal comes my way, I’ll definitely be adding it to my cart! With both necklaces, I love the color varieties, which offer a multitude of styling possibilities for a blouse, pullover sweater, jumpsuit, sheath dress, fit & flare dress, midi skirt outfit, or maxi dress. The cobalt blue tone stands out to me the most in these, but no matter what I may wear it with, I’d like to highlight the rich green & bright reds in it.

Accessories Access: Stylish Earrings Sets in Gold & Silver!


It’s a very rare occasion that I’m actually stuck with no idea what to wear, despite my plethora of options. When it comes to jewelry, I usually decide on the finer details the morning I am getting ready, especially for the work day ahead. Also, I have 5 piercings in each of my ears, which I fill every single “leaving the house” day & my collection continues to grow & sparkle. While I do love a long, dangly drop earring for a more dramatic look, my go-to for all 5 piercings is a stud. I love finding different stud sets so that the options coordinate together, but I also love mixing up new picks with some old favorites. For example:

SHOP: shooting star stud earring set in gold & silver @LOFT (on sale: $22.50 with code: TREAT).

SHOP NOW!: Peplum + Sparkle in 1 Sweater!


Usually, I love to add my own sparkly statement necklace to a sweater, playing up all the styling possibilities each time I wear it; however, when a piece has built-in jewelry, it’s kind of a win too, especially with a flattering peplum silhouette.

SHOP: rhinestone embellished peplum sweater in purple luxury & black @New York & Company (on sale: $25.98, available in sizes XS-XXL).

I have the black, which I really love & I plan on ordering the purple as well. It’s a flattering, true to size—I’m wearing the XL & can’t wait to try it with a variety of printed pants & pencil skirts.
