Celebrity Jewelry Style: Pregnancy Edition!

To say I've got baby on the brain would be an understatement. She doesn't let me forget about her for too long, even if I tried. With her rolly-polly moves and cute little kicks, my little buddy is definitely making her presence known. Not to mention my ever-expanding waist-line that shocks me every morning when I catch my reflection in the mirror. My mission this weekend is to find a decent pair of maternity skinny jeans. I can't go on without them.

But what about jewelry style? Does this change or need to change as your belly grows? Well obviously it doesn't have to! But I love wearing longer necklaces with pendants to accentuate my bump. This would be my biggest shift in accessorizing since the appearance of the bump. I also think going necklace free and wearing dangly earrings or hoops is a super cool maternity look. And you can keep those arm parties coming. Baby probably likes the sound of those clinging and clanging bracelets and isn't around to pull on them - yet.

Here is a photo of a necklace I made to fill my need for longer pendants. It's a purple amethyst druzy hung on gold plated chain. I added two strands of smaller gold chain as an interesting detail. Also, as a side note, this is my first Instagram pic! Follow me here!


But enough about me, let's look to the celebs to see how they accessories during pregnancy. They always do it best, right?


Do you have any pregnancy style tips to share?

Jewelry Throw Back: Crowns

They're the things fairy tales are made of and everyone in Game of Thrones wants - crowns. I came across an image on Pinterest of a mermaid in crown and it stirred so many emotions in me. It was whimsical, strange, and curious. I immediately dreamt up the tale that this mermaid could tell if she weren't just an image. And the crown on her head was central to her story. I know we don't walk around wearing crowns (unless they're floral, hello!), but aren't they a cool piece of jewelry to consider? Not to consider wearing, but to just think about - what they mean and symbolize, the power that comes with them, and their ornate beauty.  Here is a mood board for all things crown-related, pulled from my mind's eye, and shared with you. Get swept away...

Line Lust: Samantha Wills

Two nights ago, stunning jewelry designer Samantha Wills invited media and bloggers to step inside her jewelry world with her New York Fashion Week Presentation at The Crosby Street Hotel. Her line is bold, intricate, and breathtakingly beautiful and the decor for the event was no exception. Suspending blooms hung from chandeliers and installation pieces, and moss and indigo colored roses emerged from every corner. 

Here are some of my favourite Samantha Wills jewelry pieces interspersed with some of her instagram shots. This lady has mad style and each piece is definitely a show stopper - enjoy!

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!

1. Robyn Rhodes Gold and Crystal Sappho Ring, Max & Chloe
2. Aurélie Bidermann18-karat rose gold-dipped lace ring
3. C A T B I R D Mignon Memory Ring, rose gold
4. House of Harlowe 1960 Rose Gold Spike ring
5. Rosette Ring, Vale
6. Gabriela Artigas Single White Diamond Ring
7. Mini Pave Diamond Ring, Ariel Gordon Jewelry
