Trend Sporting: Statement Earrings for Spring

I have a few weddings lined up this spring and summer and I am already thinking about what to wear. As a diehard necklace (and ring) fan, I am thinking of switching up my look and going for a pair of statement earrings with my hair pulled back. That's right, no necklace. Change is good.

Here are my favourite statement earrings from around the web. And don't think these beauties are solely for dressing up; they can just as easily be paired with a tee shirt and jeans for a laid back, California-cool look.

Do or Don't? Mismatched Wedding Band

Keira Knightly recently showed off her newly minted wedding band and it certainly was a surprise! While her engagement ring is set in platinum she chose a plain yellow gold wedding band. Mixing metals is common place today, but it's rare to see a wedding band set in different tones. Perhaps she'll start the newest wedding ring trend?
Would you do this for your everyday look? Or is it totally a don't for wedding and engagement rings?

Wedding Jewelry: Round-Up

If you have a wedding this spring or summer it's time to start honing in on the details...like your jewelry! Choosing your wedding jewelry is a very important decision as your special day (and your jewelry!) will be immortalized in photographs. Years down the road you'll likely still have a framed wedding photo hanging around and your kids will want to see the day you married their Daddy.

As you can see, choosing your bridal jewelry is a very serious decision. You'll want to look for something that can stand the test of time and fits your style. Are you normally outgoing and love show-stopping pieces? Then going bigger with a statement type piece is ok. If you're normally understated and classic, you'll want to look for daintier, classic wedding jewelry like rhinestones and pearls.

I for one love bejeweled hair pieces and clips for an unexpected sparkle and charm.  Swoop your hair back to one side with a vintage pin or have a clip poking out from underneath your up-do.

Here's a look at some of my favourite wedding appropriate jewelry pieces available today.

Do or Don't? Jeweled Hair

What do you think of wearing jewelry in your hair? Is this look a 'Do' or a 'Don't'?

I for one love this look for special occasions. It's such an unexpected way to wear jewelry for a special night out! I especially love seeing this look on brides on their wedding day. Jeweled hair is perfectly romantic and is sure to make a statement. Did I mention I wore jeweled hair on my wedding day? Perhaps I am biased...

But what do you think? Would you wear some sparkle in your hair or is this look too fairy tale for you?
