Wardrobe Wednesday: Jewelry

I'm back this week featuring another great statement necklace. Spectrum is a bright and colorful necklace that has seven strands of black braided thread knotted with an eclectic mix of genuine tiger's eye nuggets, shells and beads in shades of mint, turquoise, purple, peach and amber.

Spectrum is 20" long with a hematite plated 4" extender and lobster claw closure. The extender is long enough that you can noticeably shorten or lengthen the necklace to fit whatever necklace you're currently wearing. Like I said, it's a great statement piece. It has a matching set of bracelets and earrings. Although, just like the Wow Factor, I do like mixing and matching the necklace with other earrings and bracelets too. Since it's so colorful you can wear it with ANYTHING. It can instantly make your outfit POP!

The jewelry of the week is the Wow Factor necklace! It's a gorgeous six-strand necklace: one of creamy faux pearls, one of hammered gold plated beads, one of hammered silver plated beads, two gold plated chains and one silver plated chain. It's 18-1/2" long with a 4" extender and lobster claw closure.  There are matching earrings and bracelet.

This set is a fun twist on a regular pearls. I love that it's made with mixed metals, giving more options for the rest of your jewelry if you don't want to be too matchy-matchy. It works great with both dressy and casual outfits.

Wardrobe Wednesday

It's been a while since I've done a true Wardrobe Wednesday post. The sister and I went out on Saturday and took some outfit pictures. I borrowed her shirt that she got from Target; I might have to get my own. It's perfect for summer!

I also wore my Paige Denim boyfriend shorts that I got from our new Nordstrom Rack! They are my absolute favorite. I want to get like 6 more pairs of these shorts so I can wear them every day of the week during the summer. I wore my wedges that I also got at Nordstrom Rack. They're super comfortable and very versatile!

We had a low-key day and ended it with a graduation party. Since it was getting cooler, I changed into my boyfriend jeans that I cuffed and kept the rest of the outfit the same.

Wardrobe Wednesday: Jewelry

Today I'll be showing how to wear one necklace four different ways. Like I've said before, coming up with new ways to mix and match the jewelry is one of my favorite parts of my job.

The necklace featured today is Costa Rica. I consider it a staple in my jewelry wardrobe. It has a fun bohemian feel to it.

Costa Rica is 32" long, five-strand necklace with a 4" extender with lobster claw closure. Two strands are delicate silver chains, two strands are heavier silver chains and the final strand is made of beautiful beads.

ONE: Long

TWO: Criss-crossed (half of it doubled) with Stylin' enhancer

THREE: Long, framing the Botanical Necklace

FOUR: Doubled with Stylin' Enhancer

I've used the Stylin' enhancer for this demonstration, but I also like to use an enhancer called Silver Swirl and I've even used the Flipside's teal side [see HERE]. These are just a few ways to wear Costa Rica; there are so many more possibilites!

See me wearing Costa Rica on Day 4 (with the Silver Swirl) [HERE] and on Day 15 (with Botanical) [HERE].

Fashion Friday

Since I didn't do a jewelry post on Wednesday, I thought I'd slip one in for a Fashion Friday post. Today I'm featuring two different pieces: Cutting Edge toggle bracelet and Golden Girl pin and magnetic enhancer.

The Cutting Edge bracelet has matching earrings and a fabulous asymmetrical necklace (36"). I love the gold and silver mix. It's a great way to add either metal to your outfit. I've been using it to incorporate more gold into my outfits. I love to wear it on the same wrist as my silver watch and then add a different bracelet (silver, gold, antique brass, or beads, etc.) on the other wrist. I've never had a toggle bracelet before, so I was unsure about whether or not I should be worried about it falling off. But I've never had any problems with it. I like that it can be adjustable if I want it to be. It's 7&1/4" to 8&1/4". My favorite part is the great balance between the polished silver and the gorgeous texturized gold.

The Golden Girl pin and magnetic enhancer is similar to the Flipside enhancer I featured last week. See [HERE]. It has a magnetic closure on the back so you are able to easily add it or remove it from various chains. The difference between the Flipside and Golden Girl is that Golden Girl is also a pin. It's so versatile! It's eye-catching on a simple gold chain and looks chic on a strand of pearls. It is a bright and gorgeous textured gold with sparkling crystals in the center.

See me wearing Golden Girl [HERE] on Day 29 with Sunny Necklace.

MOO

I don't know if you guys remember the first time I went to Ignite Boise [see HERE], but it was during one of the presentations that I first heard about Klout. It's a website that measures your social media influence. Occasionally they'll give out various "Perks" for certain achievements.

A couple weeks ago they offered a "perk" for 50 FREE customized business cards from MOO. All I had to pay was shipping and handling which was like $5.50. It was perfect timing since I just started with Premier. I ended up making my MOO cards for my photography and my Premier business, because it's just silly to have like a million different cards for your various ventures.

I customized the cards with pictures from my photography portfolio. I was able to use 25 pictures and get two cards with each picture. I was thrilled with how they turned out! They're high quality and definitely professional. I can't wait to start passing them out. MOO has my cards saved so when I run out I can order more or edit them if I need to. Thanks Klout and MOO!

I'm back with another jewelry post! I promise I will get around to showing different ways to wear the pieces. I've been spending time lately mixing and matching and coming up with fun, new ideas! It's one of my favorite parts of my job, besides giving away LOTS of FREE jewelry!

The piece I'm showcasing today is called Flipside and it's in the Spring catalog. I love how versatile it is! Flipside is a magnetic enhancer that can be added to various necklace chains. The loop at the top is magnetic, so it can easily be clasped and unclasped over almost any sized chain.  I love that it's double-sided with both red and teal. It's a great statement piece for Spring and depending on what you pair it with, it can be both causal and dressy.

Wardrobe Wednesday: Jewelry

You may remember my little announcement last month [see HERE]. I've been wanting so share some of my favorite pieces of jewelry. I finally got around to taking some pictures this weekend.

Today is for the Blue Lagoon necklace. It's 36" long with a lobster claw closure. It's made with genuine mother-of-pearl and faux turquoise, glass and beads. This is perfect for spring and adds a little color to any outfit. I love the unique and gorgeous details of the beads.

Premier Designs

See me wearing it [HERE] on Day 24.

a little announcement...

I guess if you're friends with me on facebook or following me on twitter then you already know, BUT I wanted to make a little announcement on my blog.

I signed up at the very end of February as a Jeweler with Premier Designs!! If you've read my blog for a while then you've probably seen a fair share of Premier Designs Jewelry accompanying my outfits [see here].

Magnolia Ring

I prayed about this a lot and it really felt like the right fit for me. Basically I'll go to people's homes to share about the company, how much FREE jewelry you can earn as a hostess and show all my gorgeous jewelry.

I got my kit last week and have had SO much fun playing with all the jewelry. I had my training show this past Thursday and it went great! I received all the benefits from being the hostess, hello FREE jewelry, AND I received all the profits as well! How awesome is that?! I have my very first party in a little less than two weeks and I'm looking forward to jumping in.

I don't want to be an annoying, but if you live in the Boise/Meridian area and you're interested in earning some free jewelry send me an email and let's chat about having a party!

I might be adding some new blog posts each week with my favorite jewelry pieces or different ways to wear some of the different jewelry.  I'm so excited for this new adventure!

Wardrobe Wednesday: Bon Jour Spring

It's officially Spring! I just wish the weather would get the memo. I can't wait for shorts and sandals! I'm on Spring Break and it just feels wrong to still be wearing sweaters and boots. I know I said last week I'd hopefully have an outfit picture for my Wardrobe Wednesday today, but life just seems so busy even with my Spring Break this week. I hope you enjoy this fun Spring outfit I created on Polyvore! The t-shirt reminds me of one time when Heather, Jenny and I were at Disneyland and the girls got mustaches painted on their faces. It was hilarious!

Sorry for the late post, but I didn't have time to "pre-blog" this week because my girls were in town last weekend and I've been working. So this is the outfit I wore Friday during the day and to the rodeo. We had a little photoshoot on Friday with the girls.

As I mentioned in my post on Friday, last week Heather and I made some pretty necklaces. My mom has started doing some beading in the last couple years and just recently started making necklaces. She was at JoAnn's looking for beads when Heather and I found some really awesome charms. Heather ended up making four necklaces (see here) and I made three. I wasn't quite sure was I was doing, but they ended up looking pretty cute.
