Stop Collaborate & Listen: Olivia Palermo x BaubleBar

It's pretty evident that Olivia Palermo nails it every single time when it comes to style. In my opinion she always looks impeccable and completely effortlessly chic in everything she wears. Everyone always wants to know who she is wearing and where they can buy it so it comes as no surprise that  she has represented several brands before. I however have to admit this collaboration with BaubleBar may be her best. Not only is it at an attainable price point but the pieces look a lot more timeless versus trendy styles you may hate next season. I also love that everything is under $100! A few of my favorites are below but you can shop the entire line here. Oh & you can save 20% your first order by signing up with your email here.

Stop Collaborate & Listen - West Elm x Lulu Frost

West Elm has dominated the collaboration game time and time again, remember - Kate Spade Saturday, Feed & Baggu to just name a few. Well they are at it again with quite possibly two of my favorite brands joining forces to create truly beautiful pieces for your home. West Elm x Lulu Frost has combined modern, clean lined jewelry displays and boxes with gorgeous jewelry like closures, pulls and design that boasts the truly unique signature style of Lulu Frost. To say I am obsessed with the end result is a strong understatement. I absolutely adore the deco design of the entire line and plan on picking it all up to have in a future home where I have space to properly display my favorite jewelry. Take a look for yourself at the stunning sets below. Which is your favorite?

Bauble Crush - Monica Rich Kosann

There are a lot of gifts out there on the market that combine a sentimental value combined with jewelry, but very rarely is it done with such style and grace. Enter Monica Rich Kosann designs of modern heirloom jewelry that brings together luxury, timeless style and a truly memorable piece of jewelry to treasure. I am personally in awe of the lockets that can hold a treasured photo or moment in time of loved ones. The bracelets also boast beautiful trinkets to celebrate moments in life with stunning charms. But there is so much more on her site besides just the few favorites below I shared. They make great gifts for a new mom, bride and or just the loved women in your life to have forever.

Coming Soon - Smart Jewelry

Remember when I first blogged about smart jewelry with this Ringly post? Well it looks like the trend of combining fashion with technology is something that is really taking off. First there was a collaboration between Google glasses with Diane Von Furstenburg, then Tory Burch's stylish line with Fit Bit, even Opening Ceremony has created a gorgeous bracelet called Mica with Intel launching this winter. But today I am talking about Cuff which is available for pre-order and coming next March. What set's this smart technology from the others is that it doesn't just offer you reminders about your incoming calls, forgotten iPhone and track your daily movements for a healthier lifestyle but it also has a safety feature to allow you to call for help with the simple push of a button that is discretely hidden in beautiful baubles on your wrist or neck.  Something that is really a selling point for me in today's scary world. You can watch the short video of all it's features and how it works here.

RocksBox

I love me some accessories, specifically costume jewelry. I own way too many statement necklaces and have very little space to store them. Considering my wardrobe is made up of mostly solid pieces and lots of black and white, a great piece of jewelry is my way to make an ensemble a little more exciting. So when I came across RocksBox {the Netflix of jewlery if you will} I was instantly intrigued. For $19 per month you will receive a box of jewelry with three designer pieces {think House of Harlow, Loren Hope & Margaret Elizabeth} worth $200 or more. Signing up is quick with a little survey on your style preferences and then voila your baubles are mailed to you for wearing. When you are tired of them, back in the mail they go for your next box. You even have the option to buy the pieces you love and send back what you don't. Sounds pretty awesome right?! You can sign up here to get your sparkle on!

Party In The Back-ing

There is a piece of jewelry having a major moment right now...the stud earring. The earring with a jacket backing is as decorative in the front as it is in the back is making some major trend waves in the fashion world. I first saw the pearl version on my lovely friend Kate and was curious about the new statement piece. It seems everywhere I turn today there is a new design of earring is making it's way on the fashion scene. Whether you covet the ear cuff, the single earring or my favorite the original statement there is a plethora of options available for your stylish cravings.

NYLA Star

One of the best things about shopping your local stores is that you come across new designers and brands that you may have otherwise missed while shopping at your usual brick & mortars or online. While visiting my family in Connecticut I strolled along the lovely little village of New Canaan and checked out a few home stores, some beauty stops and then some sparkly jewelry caught my eye. I of course had to try on some pieces and started to find everything I was drawn to was all from the same designer, NYLA STAR. I was told by the store that the designer Leslie Kumar lived in the area and created the line to be fun, sophisticated and affordable. Something I think every woman can be drawn too. I put together a little round up of my favorites and have been layering my new piece with my favorite Nantucket necklace. I love how delicate jewelry feels effortless in the summer, something about a statement necklace in 90 degree heat just doesn't work for me.

Jewelry Tatttoo's

Morning lovelies, I just got in from a very long day of travel but still glowing from the amazing family vacation we had in St. Lucia. My love for the the beach, sun kissed skin and jewelry, I knew I had to share Flash Tattoos with you all. These jewelry inspired temporary tattoos are really beautiful. I love the bold designs and gilded finishes. They are so fun for the warmer temps without any commitment. These modern designs last around 4-6 days and are easy to apply and remove. I am totally smitten with this concept as I have shared my love of a similar concept here. Take a look below at all the gorgeous designs available to adorn yourself with!

Lovely Layers - Part Two

The last time I did a little layering action here on the blog I chose all pieces from J.Crew always stunning costume jewelry line. While I am still loving what they are doing, I thought I would select another designers pretty baubles that are so amazing when worn together. Loren Hope is known for her bold beautiful pieces of statement jewelry, yet I have yet to add some of her work to my collection. I think that will all have to change after a visit to her page to see some new arrivals. It's all so perfectly pretty and totally rocking the new color of the year. What I really adore about her site are the photos of customers sharing how they wear her jewels along with her stunning styled photos. Lots of inspiration for creating your custom look, just feast your eyes on the below for a serious dose of pretty.

Cuffed

The other night while dining at a little local tapas restaurant {which was beautifully decorated by my friend Kate's interior design firm}, my friend Amelia was rocking the prettiest cuff with an all black ensemble. It was so simple and so effortlessly chic. The added little sparkle she put on her wrist instantly had me rethinking of my boycott on the cuff bracelet. I have always felt like this style was a little too punk or claustrophobic on me but nowadays this bracelet has had a serious feminine makeover and I am loving them all adorned with crystals and studs. So while the statement necklace is my first love, I am thinking of cheating on it with a bold bracelet like the ones below.
