Get the Look: Dainty Layering

My favourite way to wear jewelry these days is by piling on dainty layers. This short gold necklace paired with a longer lariat is perfection. The chunkier geometric ring and red nails add just the right amount of edge.

Trend Spotting: Lariat Necklaces

First of all, what is a lariat you ask? It's basically a rope or cord looped into a lasso shape. So these necklaces break away from the traditional oblong circle mold, and instead, loops through itself leaving a singular long trendral. 

I first spotted the Jennifer Zeuner lariat necklaces on bloggers like the Glamourai and Sincerely Jules. I've had my eye on a JZ lariat necklace for months - definitely near the top of my wishlist! There is something sexy about the long trailing end of a lariat necklace. Wear it over top of your favorite blouse or tuck in the end having the tail sneaking away, leaving something to the imagination.
