Trend of the Moment: Love Jewelry

     

       It may not be February the month of Love but Love sure is in the air . . . or at least in your jewelry.  A popular trend on the moment has to be showing your Love in everything from watches, bracelets, rings, and necklaces. So go on and show your Love this season with fun quirky jewelry. I own a LOVE Cuff watch that I just Love! (No pun intended . . . yes it was intended) and a Love necklace that I like to pair it with.

Where to find them:

•  Forever21.com
• Charlotterusse.com

Trend To Try: Mismatched Earrings . . .

          Yes fellow readers you have read right, Mismatched Earrings! You may or may not of heard of this; but recently there has been a trend slowly rising in where you wear a set of Mismatched Earrings, where although they may not me identical but they do share a common theme. I first discovered this trend while looking at Betsey Johnson jewelry online, and immediately I thought to myself "OMG I want to try this!!" Now I have not been able to act on my desire to try Mismatched Earrings since I have been real busy with school work but now that I am on summer vacation and have all the time in the world I am so ready to try this out! The best part is that you can even try this trend with earrings that you own already (just as long that they share a common theme) Or you can buy two sets of earring, switch out one earring and give the other Mismatched pair to your bestie! I predict this will be a huge trend within this year.

          Do you look forward to trying out this trend? Or is this too odd and eccentric for you to try out? Make sure to comment below with your comments and opinion.

My Black Friday Purchase. . .

I know this post is really late but I wanted to wait for item a from JewelMint to arrive before I wrote a post about what I bougth on black Friday. I did not buy alot of stuff on black Friday but what I did buy I got  a wonderful price for them.

My first purchase was a 1.7 oz of Aquolina Pink Sugar perfume for $10. Sephora was having 10 items for $10 sale, where everything on a table was only $10. They had 10 items from each brand that included  Stila, The Body Shop, Lorac, Sephora, Laura Mercer, Makeup Forever, and others. So if you weren't there when they opened, chances were that you would not find these deals. Luckily I was there pretty early and when I saw that they had the Pink Sugar Perfume I knew I had to get it. I've heard good things about this perfume and when I smelled it for the first time back in May I knew I had to have it. The perfume smells like candy that makes you think of your childhood days with a playful blend of vanilla and caramel. *Sigh*

My second black Friday purchase was from Jewelmint for only $9 including free shipping. I'm not a member of Jewelmint but I did take the quiz from their page so I was registered, I just never bougth anything. That is until Thanksgiving weekend when they send me a coupon for any piece of jewelry for $9, and I finally made the jump to buy something. I chose this pretty gold-white crystal bow bracelet that appeared in my Jewelmint showroom and I fell in love. To me this bracelet is so girly and elegant that I feel like this bracelet would give a pop of something special to any outfit. And I'm so excited to create many different outfits with this beautiful bracelet. *Caution: Jewelmint is a $29.99 a month jewelry club, after you have made your first purchase with Jewelmint they will charge you $29.99 to your credit card each month. Unless you skip the month before the 5th day of the month or just cancel your membership completely like I did. Do not get me wrong, they have amazing pieces of jewelry but for $29.99 a month, no thank you*

And those are my black Friday purchases, thank you ladies for reading. I would also love to hear what amazing things you bougth on the busiest shopping day of the season. Also stay tuned this week for a special post announcing a new series.

The Eternal Puzzle a Closet Full of Clothes and Nothing to wear: 3 Fool Proof Outfits



Photo from "The Devil Wears Prada"

 It seems like this little dilemma happens way more often than it should. I'm the girl with a huge closet and drawers full of clothes but can never find what to wear and I know I'm not the only one. That is why it is a good idea to have at least 3 go-to outfits for those days when you cant find what to wear.

Outfit 1: Casual Chic (Jeans, Solid colored plain shirt, Scarf, and Flats)

For the first outfit I paired up dark washed skinny jeans with a plain white tank top with detailing on the strap. As for accessories I chose a pretty floral scarf and picked red ballet flats for the shoes. And for jewelry since I have scarf included I decided not to include a necklace and instead just chose simple pretty circle dangling gold earrings paired up with a cuffed bracelet made up of the same circles pattern as the earrings. *Optional: If it is a little bit chilly outside put on a jacket or cute little cardigan over your outfit*

Outfit 2: Girly Casual (Dress, Flats/sandals, Dainty jewelry, and Side bag)



For the second option I chose a pretty creme colored dress with pink and orange flowers. Since I didn't want to over do the outfit and want the floral dress to remain the focus point I made everything else very simple. I chose plain gold jewelry that is pretty but doesn't stand out and some gold strapy sandals. *Optional: Instead of sandals you can go for some pretty flats and add a cardigan over your dress*

Outfit 3: Laid back Casual (Skinny Jeans, Graphic tee, Converse, Sunglasses, and Beanie)

As for the final outfit I put together a much more casual and bit more edgy outfit together. I just paired a  gray vintage looking Rolling Stones tee with burgundy colored skinny jeans. As for shoes I just added black low top converse. Since this is a much more low maintenance laid back outfit I didn't add any jewelry to the outfit but because I don't like my outfits to be too plain looking I just added a beanie to add to my head and some black ray-bans for a more rock n' roll feel. *Optional: Depending on the weather you can add a cool jacket over your outfit*

These are just a few examples of 3 quick fool proof outfits that you can have in your closet for those days when you cant find anything to wear. Although these are examples of my go-to outfits they might not be yours so I suggest to take the time to pick out a few go-to outfits from your closet and I promise you will be looking fabulous all the time.
