Line Lust: Blair Eadie x BaubleBar, Part Deux

She's back as guest bartender! And I'll have one of everything she's serving up. Blair Eadie, style mix-master behind the blog Atlantic-Pacific, has released her second collection with Bauble Bar and it is straight up awesome. The collection includes statement necklaces and stackable rings reflecting her much sought after style. Can't wait to get my hands on a few of those midi (aka first knuckle) rings!

Do or Don't? Thumb Rings

Let's talk about the lesser loved digit when it comes to jewelry. Where do you stand on thumb rings? Too chunky and weird? Or totally fashion forward?

Alphabet Soup

There is no question that people love wearing personalized things. This is especially true when it comes to representing their initials. It's like giving away a little secret, "Hey, my name starts with 'A' and I love it. But that's all I'll tell you."

Then came the "baby initial trend" adding fuel to the initial's fire. Made popular by chic celebrity Moms like Nicole Richie and Katie Holmes who proudly donned their kid's initials after they were born, it is now quite common to wear your child's initial on a pendant. Jessica Simpson even wore an "M" pendant before baby Maxwell was born, giving a big hint about her baby's name and making baby stalkers drool. Celebrity Moms tend to favor Jennifer Meyer's Diamond Letter necklaces. Confession: I can totally see myself doing this when the time comes :)

And now, thanks to bloggers like Blair Eadie, monogrammed jewelry is totally in vogue. While traditionally reserved for fancy towels and robes, monograms have shaken off their stuffy vibe for one that is now decidedly cool.

My favorite alphabet jewelry below:

1. BaubleBar Acrylic Script Monogram 2. BaubleBar Custom Charm ring 3. Max & Chloe Large Monogram Necklace 4. Max & Chloe Signet ring 5. Catbird Alphabet earrings 6. Catbird Brass Alphabet Necklace/Bracelet 7. Jennifer Meyer Gold + Diamond Pendant necklace 8. Max & Chloe Type Writer Rings 9. Max & Chloe Dog Tag 10. Catbird Alphabet rings

Ahoy, mateys! Summer is just around the corner...and it's showing.  Fashion has taken a turn to all things nautical (think stripes, boat shoes, red and navy color combos, and blazers with gold buttons) and this includes nautical inspired jewelry (think ropes, anchors, and sea horses).  If you're ready to sail the high seas this summer (or at least look like you could hop onto a sailboat at any moment) check out the nautical inspired jewelry I've rounded up below.

Mixed Metals Vs. Pure Metal

*All necklaces Gemma Redux*

It's time for another This or That post! Where do you stand on mixing metals? It used to be a major faux pas to wear gold and silver at the same time and now, not only is it acceptable, it's encouraged and stylish! Do you tend to mix things up or keep your jewelry strickly silved toned or gold toned at one time?

Still not convinced about mixing metals? Take a look at how these ladies have mastered the trend.
