Bib Necklace Love: Fred Flare

I love these bib necklaces from Fred Flare. They are in the trediest of colors and designs. The styling possibilities are endless including:
  • With a pair of jeans, a white tunic, a low slung belt and flats
  • On a white summer dress, a fitted denim jacket and sandals
  • A light colored tank top, walking shorts and boyfriend blazer or vest
  • A turtleneck and pencil skirt with boots

Daily Steal: Juicy Couture Convertible Earrings

I love that both these earrings are convertible. They can be worn day and night in different outfits.

I had a few other convertible jewelry like removable pendants, multi-strap necklace, etc. I definitely wore them more than my other costume jewelry. I don't think I'd do such a thing with high end jewelry as removable means you can actually lose that piece.

New Years Resolutions

My traditional new years resolution is no secret to those around me! I hope this year is the last year I have to set it as a goal as I really want to get done with my PhD thesis. The Jessica Elliot necklaces below pretty much sum up the rest. What are your new year's resolutions?

Cocktail Rings - A trend that stays?

Big cocktail rings are a great accessory to wear with any outfit. I've always been a great fan of them. The name suggest a more formal venue, but one can wear the look any time of the day. There's been a great selection of cocktail rings by famous designers and name brands last couple of years. The variety of options for Spring tells me that this trend is here to stay for a few more years!

Here are a bunch of beautiful and mostly reasonably priced options. Apologies for the abundance of Kenneth Jay Lane. I just love his jewelry!

What do you think? Is this an everyday accessory for you or only in the evening?
