Do or Don't? Engagement Rings for Men


Since becoming engaged to Amber Heard in January, Johnny Depp has been seen wearing her engagement ring a handful of times. Is this sentiment super sweet or way too weird? How do you feel about engagement rings for men? Furthermore, how do you feel about men wearing women's rings? I have a feeling this is something only Johnny Depp would and could pull off. But tell me what you think in the comments below! Time to get that ring sized, Amber! ;)

Do or Don't? Matching Your Nail Polish to your Jewelry

Here is a look that will take some planning ahead. Do you think matching your nails to your jewelry is a 'Do' or a 'Don't'? Too matchy-matchy or cooly coordinated? I like it!

Let me know your vote in the comments below.

Do or Don't? Jewelry Inspired Tattoos


If you can't afford the big diamond, would you tattoo one on instead? 
If wedding bands seem too temporary, would you permanently tattoo your commitment onto your finger instead? 
Where do you stand on jewelry inspired tattoos? Are they a do or a don't?

Happy Memorial Day to my American friends! Hope you're all enjoying the long weekend :)

Do or Don't? Hand Bracelet


What do you think about this trend? Would a hand bracelet annoy you and get in the way? Or is it worth the sacrifice for the super cool look? 

If it's a 'do' for you, check out this summery turquoise version available at Shopbop for $55!

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?

Do or Don't: Faux Multiple Piercings


When all of my friends were getting 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th (...) holes punched in their ears in high school I was always too timid or unsure enough to commit another wee puncture. Now when I see people rocking numerous earrings and connecting their studs with chains and fun ear cuffs, I am at times a little jealous. My lobes go bare most days, so it's probably a good thing that I only got the one piercing, but a small part of me wishes I had the option to create a fun ear-stack. Has that term been used before? Ear stack? I like it.

When I saw this floating earring by Anita Ko, I wondered if this could be the solution to my fickle ear piecing woes. I could keep the one small hole in my lobe but get the effect of multiple piercings. Genius! Now if only we could do something about that price tag...



What do you think about the floating faux pierced look? Is it a do or a don't? Have you seen any more affordable alternatives that give the same look?

Do or Don't: Double Time Tellers


There was a recent Duck Dynasty episode that featured a stylish, city-slicker, photographer taking photos of Phil, Kay, and their beloved dogs. Hilarity ensues as city and country ideals collide. At one point, Phil points out that the photographer is wearing two watches, shaking his head in confusion over his redundant accessories.

Is wearing two watches in-vogue or totally over the top? Something only rednecks can't comprehend or something that only famous pet photographer can pull off?  Sound off in the comments below!

Still lusting after this watch and this one, too. Should I get both and wear them together!? ;)

Do or Don't? Jewelry for the Wee Ones


I found the found the story behind these chubby little hands over on Odette NY's blog.  Apparently the daughter of a friend of a friend started trying on her Momma's jewelry and they snapped a pic. There is no question that these soft little bejeweled fingers are cute! But how young is too young for jewelry (aside from playing dress-up!)?

Do babies with pierced ears freak you out? Do you swoon over tiny silver baby bracelets? Vote in the comments below!

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?

Do or Don't? Druzy Agate Stones

Confession: I can't be an impartial voice in this edition of "Do or Don't".  I am full-on obsessed with druzy agate stones these days. But I do want to hear what you think about them! To me, there is something so breathtaking and unique about each crystal-like stone.  These stones are complex and one of a kind - they're rugged and feminine, and natural and candy coloured, all at the same time. I love a good contradiction.

Do or Don't? Oversized Scarves

The weather is certified chilly and scarves are becoming necessary (especially where I live!). Even if you're lucky enough to live in a warmer climate, aren't scarves just a fun accessory to add to your look? Scarves come in a range of colours, patterns, and sizes. You find dainty thin versions, thick wooly ones, and lush oversized - bordering on blanket territory - scarves. What do you think about the oversized scarf look? Is it a 'Do' or a 'Don't' in your books?

Do or Don't? Ball to Chain to Ear Cuff

I spotted the ear cuff trend back in September (here) and have been wondering if I have what it takes to pull it off since then.  Am I edgy enough? Can I find the perfect cuff? Just when I thought I was out, I spotted Emily from Cupcakes and Cashmere sporting a delicate chained version of the ear cuff I've been pondering for months. Now this is something I could pull off!  A fine chain connects a tiny stud earring to a wishbone-shaped ear cuff, delicately draping the ear, for a look that is more pretty than edgy.

But what do you think - is this look a "Do" or a "Don't"?

Do or Don't? Brooches

What do we think ladies, are brooches old-lady-ish or making a stylish comeback? If they're done right they have the potential to be fun and flirty. I especially like the over-sized flower pom-pom ones. I am thinking, ban.do?

What do you think, leave it for the grannies or bring it into 2013?

Do or Don't? Perfumed Jewelry

I love multipurpose products. With two-in-one perfume and jewelry products hitting the shelves it got me thinking whether or not I would actually wear or use one of these items.  There is something intriguing about being able to bring your signature scent along with you.  But are the aesthetics up to snuff?

Do or Don't? The Single Earring

A surprising jewelry trend has been popping up here and there, coming and then disappearing again – a single earring! I spotted Diane Kruger, Milla Jovovich, and many others rocking this bold, asymmetrical look. I am all for experimenting with accessories, but do you think this look is a do or a don't? Should earrings always be worn in pairs or is this a look you totally would try?

Do or Don't? Backward Necklaces

Sometimes the best ideas come from flipping the norm. Necklaces normally worn dangling in the front suddenly seem chic and modern flipped around to the back. The result is unexpected and dare I say, sexy? But tell me, what do you think? Is this flip a "Do" or a "Don't" in your books?

Do or Don't? Science Inspired Jewelry

Oh the science of it all.  

McTega jewelry is the brainchild of scientists, Sarah McLellan and Kristina Ortega, who studied science, pre-med and microbiology in college.  They found mirrored plexiglass pieces shopping in the garment district and thought they looked like carbon link structures.  A jewelry line was born.

Do you think these pieces are a "do" or a "don't?"

Do or Don't? Choker Necklaces

Confession: When I was in High School I wore a piece of black leather cord tied around my neck nearly daily. Flash forward a decade and we see Blake Lively sporting a pink, beaded, wrap around choker while filming scenes for the final season of Gossip Girl. Have chokers come back full circle? Are they a "Do" in 2012 or should they stay in the 90s?

Vote! Would you rock a choker necklace today? If it's good enough for Serena van der Woodesen...
