Keychain Round-Up

I've had the same chunky, silver star keychain since high school and to this day I still get compliments on it. Not only will a solid keychain help you find your keys and stay organized, it can be a way to express your style. I say, invest in a good quality keychain if you find one you love, because you never know, it still could be with you 10 years later!

Celebrity Jewelry Style: Rachel McAdams

First things first, how is it possible that Rachel McAdams looks amazing with every single hair colour? That's just not fair. Aside from seeming refreshingly humble, being a fellow Canadian, and a true style chameleon, Rachel has great accessorizing prowess. Never over doing it, and choosing pieces that fit beautifully with her attire, Rachel has a simple yet dramatic jewelry style. Playing off her ever-changing hair colour, she seems to choose retro glam earrings while blonde, edgier pieces (like stacked rings) while a redhead, and dramatic classics (such as a bold cocktail ring) as a brunette. When hair colour becomes your main accessory, everything else is just icing on the cake!

Colour Moment: Winter White Necklaces

February is in full swing and we have the snow to show for it here Ontario. While it can be a bother at times, it certainly is pretty. I've been seeing lots of sparkly necklaces lately that have been reminding me of the snow outside my window.  And let me ask you this, is there any better time to wear winter white than in the winter?! So stop acting like a snow queen and embrace the weather. Dress up with a little snowy sparkle and you'll be feeling more like an ice princess in no time.

Shop the look!

Get the Look: Chunky Meets Dainty Rings

Lately I've been loving dainty, thin, plain rings.  But my old, tried and true self will always have a weak spot for chunky, stone, statement rings. Can my two loves live harmoniously? This image from my Pinterest proves that it can be done and demonstrates us how we can incorporate both looks on the same hand without it looking too gaudy or mismatched.  Here's how you can recreate the look!

Seasonal Look: Metallic Accessories for Winter

In my opinion, the best time for shinny, icy, metallic accessories is in the winter. The high shine finish is reminiscent of winter, snow, and ice and actually brightens an otherwise dull look.  So throw on your favourite metallic bracelet for a blinding arm-party or pop on those reflective sunglasses to keep the glare out of your eyes. Any way you choose to wear it, metallic accessories are just right for winter.

Celebrity Jewelry Style: Nicole Richie

Nicole Richie is a true style chameleon. She does the bohemian look better than anyone else, looks effortlessly cool while rocker chick, and can look perfectly preppy.  Often seen wearing her own House of Harlow designs, this girl looks great with jewelry piled on or toned down.  One of the first to rock sequined headbands and hippy headpieces, Nicole is a true trendsetter.  I cant wait to see what she does next!
