DIY Friday: Hallowe'en Spider Ring

I am jumping back into the Jolie Jouel archives for this spooky DIY. Read on to see how you can make this gold, Tom Binns, spider ring dupe.

I came across this gold, Tom Binns spider ring a few weeks ago while I was working on my Halloween jewelry post. It got me thinking about a more affordable DIY alternative for Halloween. I was reminded of the plastic spider rings we used to wear as kids and headed out to the craft supply store to investigate. The result is a pretty good dupe for the Tom Binns version and will save you a ton of money.

You will need:
- plastic spider rings
- gold paint (I used Martha Stewart's liquid gilding in gold)
- paint brush
- optional: rhinestones or beads for extra bling.

Prep the area with newspaper, cardboard, or construction paper. Shake up the paint and lay out the spider rings.

Cover the rings in gold paint. Make sure to get in all the nooks and crannies. Let dry and then flip the rings to paint the areas you couldn't get to on the first coat. One coat was enough with the Martha Stewart paint, but if you're using a different brand it may take two or more coats for a solid finish.

Add rhinestones or beads for an even glitzier look! Use super glue (carefully!) and get creative. Or you can keep your spider pure gold a la Tom Binns.

Ta da! You're all set for Halloween and will have the prettiest spider ring out there.

Do or Don't? Turquoise Jewelry for Fall

Sweater: Hudson's Bay // Jeans: Paige Denim // Shoes: Nine West // Bag: Rebecca Minkoff //

Turquoise is one of my favourite colours and stones. I love the way turquoise looks with a tan and pops against a plain white tee.  But what do you think about turquoise jewelry in the colder months - is it appropriate for fall and winter?

I thought I would give it a go and wore this very chunky turquoise necklace with a softer blue sweater and was surprised by how much I liked the bright colour for fall. I think if done right, you can wear your summer jewelry a few months longer by styling with chunky knits, moody hues, and steering clear of white.

But what do you think - would you wear turquoise, coral, or another 'summer' stone in the fall?

Line Lust: Satomi Kawakita Jewelry

I first stumbled upon Satomi Kawakita jewelry on Catbird's site. Intrigued by what I saw there, I searched out the entire line. The line is filled with simple necklaces, beautiful rings, dainty bracelets, and organic earrings.

Here are some of my favourite pieces from the Satomi Kawakita line.

Embracing Fall: Coats, Booties, and Moody Jewelry

Wearing: Zara Coat, Cake for Breakfast tee, Piperlime booties (similar), Rebecca Minkoff bag (similar), American Eagle sunglasses

Look at me posing like a personal style blogger by some graffiti downtown. This is harder (and more embarassing!) than it looks. Bloggers make it look so easy. Maybe it is easy for the effortless cool and beautiful. I kind of wanted to run and hide every time someone walked by.


I am loving this Zara jacket with faux leather sleeves for fall. And I couldn't be more excited to be wearing boots again! I finished off the look with a soft ampersand tee, dark jewelry, and some shades.
