BaubleBar–Tassel Jewelry Under $40

April 14, 2016

It’s no secret that I love jewelry and every season I try to add a few new pieces of costume jewelry to my wardrobe.

Tassel jewelry is and has always been a favorite jewelry style of mine and BaubleBar is one of my favorite sources for affordable, on-trend jewelry.

I was recently on the hunt for a new pair of tassel earrings and after I got finished looking through the Bauble Bar site, I had found several tassel pieces I wanted to bring home.

These Tiffany Tassel Drops in Ruby are just stunning and the perfect pair of earrings to dress up a simple black outfit. $28

Wrap bracelets became popular a few years ago and since then they have gotten more and more stylish. I love the mix of gold and turquoise with black beads in this sleek Onyx Bracelet Quad. $48

Statement necklaces like this Rockefeller Tassel Bib Necklace are still popular and begin worn with everything from denim to evening gowns. The tassel on this necklace makes it even more perfect for day into evening in my book. $46

You can never go wrong with a classic black tassel necklace like the Bettie Tassel Pendant Necklace. $26

I purchased these Lagos Drop Earrings because of the fun mix of colors that I think will be great during the summer. $34

If you like a bolder earning, the Nolita Drop Earrings will definitely give you that look. The black and gray color combo is classic with a twist. $38

The Cape Town Tassel Bracelet is a nice piece that would be fun stacked with other bracelets. $12

I also picked up the Geode Drop Earrings ($48) because I couldn’t resist the turquoise and pink color combo.

In addition to a great selection of jewelry, Baublebar also offers Free Shipping and Returns on every purchase which makes their site even more enticing.

Fashion Focus: Building A Classic Earring Wardrobe

April 1, 2015

I love me some jewelry. If I ever leave home without earrings on, I feel naked and jewelry is one of my favorite impulse purchases. (tip: I always keep a pair of classic silver hoops in my wallet just in case)

My first buying job out of college was as an assistant buyer in the jewelry department for a department store in Seattle. This was back in the day when Monet was the ‘it’ fashion brand, Swatch watches were the style statement and it was trendy to only wear one earring like Janet Jackson did. (I know I’m not the only one who wore a key as an earring:)

Times have changed and so have the styles of jewelry that are now considered basic wardrobe elements. I thought it would be fun to take a look back at a few styles that made the 80’s great and what earring styles are considered an essential wardrobe staple today.

Handmade Gold Leaf Necklace

March 13, 2015

My love for gold leaves started when I found this gold leaf tray to go in my guest bathroom. Ever since then I’ve been spotting leaf themed items everywhere.

The other day I popped into Michael’s to pick up some craft paint and I spotted these cute ceramic leaves in their dollar section. The leave came in a pack of two and were meant to be used as ornaments. Ornaments would be cute but I immediately imagined these little leaf gems crafted into a necklace.
