Celebrity Jewelry Style: Gwen Stefani

Part rock 'n roll, part retro Hollywood, Gwen Stefani knows her style and sticks to it. With her signature platinum locks and ever-present red lip, Gwen walks the line between edgy and classic, seamlessly blending the two into a look uniquely her own.

As for accessories, the hip momma-of-three favors stacks of chunky bracelets, retro sunglasses, and funky hats.

Currently Loving: March 2014 ed.

The sun is shining, the snow is melting, and spring is just around the corner. It has to be! This has been one of the worst (read: coldest) winters in recent memory. I am so ready for spring and really, summer. Here are my March favourites and the products I am using and loving as we head into spring.

1. These red wines. I just got my clear braces off (yes, adult braces, ugh! So happy to have this chapter behind me!) which meant no red wine or else be cursed with stained ugly brown brackets. 20 months later, I am indulging in my favourite reds again. These two reds were consumed last week and are just as good as I remember. Maybe better.

2. Yay for t-shirt weather (well, almost!). Loving these graphic tees from J.Crew, and bonus, they're currently on sale with code HAPPYSHOPPING.  Floral  // These Are The Days // C'est La Vie //

3. Aveda Hand Relief. This cream is a little pricey but so amazing and indulgent. It smells divine and is the only reason my hands aren't totally chapped this winter.

4. Vale Staple ring. This ring is simple, beautiful, easy, and everyday cool. (Also pictured is my Jennie Kwon open cuff equilibrium ring. I've posted about it ad nauseum and is safely an all-time favourite!)

5. Happy. A pleasant reminder in a mess of gold chains.

6. House of Cards season 2 on Netflix. We're savouring these episodes because once they're done, they're done. And then the waiting begins again.

7. Thumb rings. I've started wearing a thin twisted gold band on my thumb and I am kind of loving it. Inspired by Emily.

8. Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder. I had a gift card to Sephora that I'd been saving since Christmas. I finally made my choice and went with Hourglass' super pretty, sheer, glowy powder in Dim Light. I can't really describe it, but it just makes my face bright and awake. It's sheer so you can't really see it. Which is maybe the beauty of it? You'll just look brighter.

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.

Get this look below!

1. Lariat: Jennifer Zeuner Double Diamond Lariat

2. Necklace: Esty (bargain!)

3. Ring: Forever 21 (mega bargain!)

4. Nails: Julep (Myrtel - flapper red) 

This would be the perfect look for date night on Valentine's Day. Switch out the grey tank for pink or the black blazer for red, and you're all set!

Summer Favorites

Here's a round-up of my summer favorites! I can hardly believe it's almost September and the summer is nearly over (hashtag "things white girls say"). I thought before we get too deep into Fall fashion I'd do a round-up of the products I've been loving over the summer months. Here are my faves in fashion, beauty, and around the home.

Fashion:

1. This American Eagle jean jacket is a great layering piece for throwing on during those cool August nights (or not so hot days).

2. Dolce Vita black sandals with gold bar - I wore these non-stop this summer. The gold detail is perfect sparkly little detail.

3. Jennie Kwon Onyx ring - I've posted about this ring so much I should be blue in the face. But it's my favorite so it deserves to be mentioned again!

4. Ariel Gordon Lariat necklace - This is at the top of my wishlist right now. 

Beauty:

5. BUMBLE AND BUMBLE Hairdresser's Invisible Oil - This stuff tames even the most dry and frazzeled summer hair. It is my holy grail product du jour.

6. Nars The Muliple in Copacabana - This gives me a subtle summer glow, without going over the top. It highlights like a champ.

7. Maybelline Color Whisper in Oh La Lilac - The perfect sheer pop color for summer.

8. Try Nars Nepal eyeshadow for that "Blake Lively" beachy look.

Home:

9. Good Morning Beautiful Mug. What a way to start the day!

10. Gold heart - This gold heart is on my wishlist for baby girl's nursery. I think her doctor Daddy would approve.

11. Cuisinart Smart Stick Hand Blender. I have used this hand blender nearly every morning this summer to make a breakfast smoothie. 

My current fave: 1 cup of milk, 1 heaped tbsp on peanutbutter, 1 banana, and 1 package of Starbucks instant via coffee.

12. Orange is the New Black - PTL for Netflix because summer TV is non-existent.

Like a Mermaid

I may have a slight obsession with mermaids. When I was a little girl I would go to sleep with my legs in mermaid fin position and pray that I would wake up transformed, into a real mermaid. I still sing "Part of Your World" and swim around like The Little Mermaid in the lake at our cottage. I've come to accept that I will never be half woman, half fish, and that this is probably for the best...but I am still drawn to all things mermaid, scaly, and iridescent. Here are my mermaid-esque accessory picks!

Do or Don't? Perfumed Jewelry

I love multipurpose products. With two-in-one perfume and jewelry products hitting the shelves it got me thinking whether or not I would actually wear or use one of these items.  There is something intriguing about being able to bring your signature scent along with you.  But are the aesthetics up to snuff?
