Celebrity Jewelry Style: Kelly Ripa

Pint-sized, pixie-esque morning talk show host Kelly Ripa knows a thing or two about accessorizing. Working with her small frame, she chooses dainty gold necklaces, fun pops of colour, and vintage, art deco rings. Some of her favourite brands include Vale Jewelry, Tom Binns, and Cartier.

It's a Staple

You know when you get a piece of jewelry that will automatically become one of your daily staples? That's how I feel about this vertical bar ring from Vale. And funny enough, it's actually called the diamond pave staple ring. Welcome to the daily rotation!

Etsy Shop to Browse: Illuminance Jewelry

I was searching for rings (duh) the other day and came across this really sweet Etsy shop, Illuminance Jewelry.

The shop is filled with on-trend designs like stacking rings, open cuff rings, and sharktooth jewelry. Feeling a like a little retail therapy today? Treat yourself! <3

Currently Loving: February 2014

Snowflake Jewels: We may as well embrace winter at this point! And how better than with snowflake inspired rings.

Necessary Scarves: Again, it's cold. This beauty is from H&M.

Leopard Accents: Leopard is becoming one of my favourite neutrals. I currently have my eye on this bag.

Moody Living Spaces: I love white spaces as much as the next gal, but isn't there something rich, moody and inviting about grey and black?

Sprinkles: Embrace your inner 9 year old.

Ilia Lipstick in Pink Cashmere: My go to shade of the moment. It offers the perfect pink/lilac pop and is all natural.

OLO Love Springs Eternal Serum: A few drops of this oil into my moisturizer and I am good to glow.

Everyday Jewelry: I can't get enough of this sparkly mix. Shark tooth necklace from Vale; Michael Kors Watch from Shopbop; gold bangle by Alex and Ani; Sparkly necklace from Forever 21.

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!

Currently Loving: January 2014 ed.

January has to be one of the most universally hated months. Christmas is over. Diets wars are waging. The weather is dismal. But despite the month's bad rap, there are things to get excited about in January. New beginnings! Getting healthy! Motivation to go after your dreams! I for one feel rejuvenated and focused. Here are a few of the things I am loving this month. 

Statement Earrings

Sincerely, Jules

Unicorns

Best of: The Golden Globes 2014

Ahhh award season is upon us! And Jolie Jouel is back once again to bring you the best jewelry looks from last night's Golden Globe Awards.

A few things of note: rocking one earring is still a thing (Emma Watson), earrings in general were the jewelry stars of the night, and a baby bump is still one of the best accessories you can have (Kerry Washington, Drew Barrymore, Olivia Wilde).

Who had your favourite look of the night? I loved new-comer and Aussie beauty Margot Robbie, the radiant Kate Beckinsale, and a sparkly and pregnant Olivia Wilde. Honorable mention to Amy Adams' long pendant and Rita's Wilson's mess of tangled necklaces.
