One Piece, Three Ways: Holiday Edition

The holidays are fast approaching and that means time to start planning outfits and make packing lists! Make it easy on yourself by bringing one great statement piece of jewelry and wear it multiple times throughout the end of December.

You can switch out this Tinely Road necklace for any statement necklace, but this gives you a good idea of how to mix and match statement necklaces for a variety of occasions. I wish I had the Christmas Day outfit lined up for myself! #wishlist

DIY Friday: Make A Christmas Gift!

Sometimes the most special gifts are the ones that people make. You know how you feel when your niece gives you a handmade card? Why not pass that feeling along to a loved one by making them this DIY necklace!

You will need:
- Silver chain
- 4 beads
- 4 links of thick curb chain
- 2 jump rings
- 2 wire guards
- 2 crimps
- 2 crimp covers 
- 1 clasp
- Beading wire
- Snips and flat nose pliers
Step 1: 
Create a loop in one end of a small piece of wire with your wire guard and crimp. Next, string two of your beads onto the same piece of wire.

Step 2:
Loop the other end of your wire through the silver chain. Use a wire guard and crimp to secure.
 Finish with a crimp cover and snip excess wire.

Step 3:
Repeat steps 1 & 2 with the other two beads.
Step 4:
Use a jump ring to attach one end of the thick curb chain to one of the beaded units. Use another jump ring to attach the second bead unit to the other end of the thick curb chain.

Step 5:
Attach your clasp to one end of the necklace and a jump ring on the other.

Finale:

Will you be making any of your Christmas presents this year? 
Happy weekend!

'Tis the Season: Holiday Earrings

I am self-admittedly not an earrings kind of gal. On a day-to-day basic my lobes go bare, hidden under piles of wavy locks.  So really, what's the point? But one time I always jump at the chance to wear earrings is over the holidays. Whether it be a holiday work party, a Christmas party with friends, Christmas-Eve or New Years Eve, those are the times to go all out with a little ear sparkle.  Below are my top picks for festive earring for the holidays.

Festively Obsessed

We've got fuzzy sweaters, glitzy jewels, pops of red and gold, warm fur, and toasty beverages in today's festive edition of "obsessed".  Like always, all photos are from my Pinterest jewelry board, but this time all the photos have jewelry plus that "je ne said quois" holiday feel about them. I just love this time of year.  Enjoy!
