Fall Jewelry Trends 2014

Can you believe it's September?! Sorry for the lack of posting over the summer. I took a short hiatus to regroup, refocus, and recharge. But I am excited to be back to discuss all things jewelry! What better time to start things up again than with the change of a new season. Fall is my favorite season. I love the weather, the fashion, the food...it's all scrumptious.

Here's what on my radar for fall jewelry trends. Have a great week!

1. Silver

Gold still reigns supreme but silver is making a comeback in a big way.

2. Lariats

A single loop followed by a dangling tendril, lariats are fresh and unexpected neck candy this season.

3. Pearls

From earrings and necklaces to bracelets and rings. Find DIY versions floating around the web for a more affordable option.

4. Bracelets chained to rings

Linked by a dainty chain, bracelet/ring combos have a modern twist with a hint of bohemia.

5. Thumb rings

Though often ignored, your stumpiest digit gets a reboot this fall.

6. Double sided earrings

I love these! Earrings with flare on both sides of the lobe bring interest and edge to classic studs.

Fall Favourites

Autumn is my favourite season, which makes this post my favourite of the favourites! Here are my favourite things from the 2013 fall season.

Rings

I love layering and stacking my rings. I am completely head over heals with black stones at the moment and love how my two Jennie Kwon rings go so well together. One is onyx, the other, black diamonds.

Purple nail polish

This nail polish didn't chip for the better of a week. That never happens for me. Between insane amounts of typing and caring for a 5 month old, this is a feat unto itself. I also love that this is a true purple, swaying from the typical dark burgundy-near-black hue that permeates the season. Sally Hanson Complete Salon Manicure in Trouble Maker.

The Walking Dead

Elizabeth Dehn for One Love Organics Active Moisture Vitamin B Enzyme Cleansing Oil & Makeup Remover

This cleanser feels rich, moisturizing, and totally indulgent. My skin loves it. Did I mention it's an exfoliating oil? The perfect one-two punch for cooler temps.

Pumpkin muffins

In the past two months, I have made these muffins more times than I care to admit. I adapted this Kraft pumpkin loaf recipe for muffins. I left out the cream cheese and added chocolate chips. Heaven.

Succulents

Plaid Scarf

Sweater dresses

I am loving this sweater dress from Tart Collections for fall. It's so easy to throw on and instantly looks polished and thought-out. Not to mention, the two tone side panels are totally slimming.

The Full Finger Ring

With the arrival of cooler temps and heavier knits and layers, jewelry lovers can safely switch out their dainty jewelry for heavier, edgier pieces. This full finger ring is the perfect example of a piece that might seem too clunky, warm, and bold for summer, but fits right in with the autumnal weather.

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?

Fall Jewelry Must-Haves

It's official, the days are getting shorter (sob, sob) and the mercury is beginning to drop. Before we know it the leaves will be changing to colors we never knew existed and we'll be piling on the layers to enjoy the crisp autumn air. The slightly cooler temps got me thinking about Fall wardrobe staples and what the essential jewelry pieces are for the Fall 2012 season. If you're going to invest in a few new pieces this Fall, something from each one of these categories would be my humble suggestion.
