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!

Must Have Jewelry for Fall

I don't know about you, but Fall is my favourite season for fashion. I love the reintroduction of rich colours, snuggly knits, and leather boots. I also love switching up my jewelry, retiring my friendship bracelets and neon necklaces for more metallic and refined pieces. Here are my top jewelry must-haves for  Fall 2013. 

What are you looking most forward to wearing this Fall?

Mother's Day Gift Guide

What to give the woman who has given the world to you? Something special! I've tried to come up with some indulgent, girly, and luxe gift ideas for Mom. You know, something she might not buy herself but would love and enjoy.  Consider her hobbies, decorating style, and personal style when shopping for her special gift.  Is she into golf or gardening or cooking?  Or maybe the gift she would like the most is some time with you. Mani/pedi anyone?

This or That? Piled On Vs. Minimalist

There are two schools of thought when it comes to necklaces. You either love the chunky, statement necklaces or prefer dainty smaller pieces. Where do you stand on layered necklaces? Piled on in excess or understated minimalist?
