Great Holiday Jewelry Picks: All under $20 and All from Forever 21

While the holidays are closer than ever and I pretty much have an idea what I'm wearing, accessories always seem to be the last thing I think about. This year, I'm pairing whatever I'm wearing around my jewelry, because I feel they can make any outfit I choose to wear look 10 times better. Since I still have to go shopping for presents, I don't want to splurge on myself right now.

I was checking out some styles on the Forever 21 site and came across these goodies that would be perfect for holiday and definitely wont break my pockets. Nothing here is over $20 and some styles are as low as $4.80! I love the vintage, art deco inspired design, they remind me of antique jewelry you find in estate sales...what are your fave pieces here?

Outfit Inspirations: Dannijo Sinatra Necklace

Happy Tuesday all! I hope you all are having a wonderful day so far!! If you follow me on Facebook or Twitter, you might have seen my post last week letting you know that I won the Dannijo Sinatra necklace via a contest on the Reqoop app! I actually posted about this style a few months ago when I first noticed it and was looking for a look for less option. The Sinatra looks just like the Hixson collar above but the colors are slightly different! I am soo excited to wear it and cant wait to see it when I get home today! Basically, the contest was just to snap a picture of an item that you would pair with it. I snapped up this really cute blazer from Zara in yellow and sent my entry in. I have yet to purchase the blazer but would love to rock it with the necklace like this! A subtle colorblock action with the cobalt colored denim and toned down with the black pumps, clutch and cream blouse. What do you think of my look?

Trend Inspiration: Short Collar Necklaces

Happy Friday everyone!! Hope you had a pleasant and productive week!! I had a very busy one, so as always I'm grateful for the weekend! This week I've noticed collar neck styles more than usual. I saw them a few months ago while checking out other blogs but have seen them more and more lately and they are really growing on me. Take a look at all the different styles here! They are not as big as a bib necklace yet I feel they still stand out and make a great statement. These looks are my fave in style, shape and detail, especially the Dannijo style in the 5th image. I really love their necklaces and I'm also really loving the ones that look like collars. What do you think of these??

Bangles, Bracelets and other Trinkets

Happy Thursday all!!

Trying to up my game in the accessories department! I recently lost all of mine, so now have to build up my collection again. I'm especially looking for more in the bracelets and ring categories. Now that I have to start over, I figured I'll go with more refined pieces that have interesting aspects to it. These are images of ideas on what I'm looking for. Some pieces are bold, some delicate and some edgy...which is just right for me...I have different aspects to my personal style that work with each!

See here for more of my accessory inspirations!

Most of the places I will check out are listed below. Forever 21, actually has great accessories at really great pricing...TopShop and Asos have more higher end designs at a higher price point than Forever 21, but still not too expensive. Bauble Bar has great pieces for work, every day and special events.

You can check out their accessories at the following links.  With Bauble Bar, you have to create an account for access but the account is free and takes no time to set up.

Seeing Double!

ModeHaven reblogged this from Because Style Matters

For any of you who follow me on Twitter or on Pinterest you know that I have a slight obsession with Bauble Bar.  Every Monday and Wednesday I anxiously await their new collections every Monday and Wednesday. It's like getting a present twice a week.  And what's even better is that within these collections there is a piece for every budget.

After making my weekly purchase (yes, I said weekly) I often browse the older collections just to  see if I missed something.  I love their use of Swarovski crystals (I'm attacted to them like a moth to a flame). As I said, I'm jewelry obsessed so I'm constantly looking for new pieces to add to my personal collection.  I happened to be looking on another website (that shall not be named) and noticed a few pieces from famous designers that were so similar that they were nearly identical as the pieces that were offered on Bauble Bar. To be honest, there are some where I am still trying to find out what the differences are. As a fellow fashionista, I couldn't keep this secret from you.  Check the gallery and decide for yourself.
