Lush Jewelry

I am loving Lush Jewelry lately because they are based out of San Diego (local, yay!) and make the most beautiful bohemian inspired jewelry. If you haven't heard of them, take a minute to look at their beautiful website. Each piece is made with responsibly sourced materials and it is all handmade and intricately designed! 

They sent over this fun brass necklace 'Badriya' with a little turquoise stone, and you all know how much I love my turquoise and I have been wearing it non stop. Beautiful designed and totally reminds me of something you would find at a chic flea market or vintage store. 

And lucky you… Lush Jewelry is offering my readers 30% off with the discount code 'CHIC30'.

Heading to Vegas for a long weekend and staying at the Vdara, kinda excited to be at a non gaming hotel, maybe I won't loose all my money this way! Any new restaurants or shops I should check out??

Fall Glam

Leather Trimmed Rancher- Anthropologie

Dolly Glam Necklace- c/o 31 Bits

Slubby Boucle Sweater- Anthropologie

Booties- Target

Clutch- Tylie Malibu

Denim- Old Navy 

31 Bits sent me this pretty necklace from their "Give with Glam" line that launches today to style up for the blog. If you aren't familiar with them yet, 31 Bits is a local (like in my backyard local) company that teaches women in Uganda how to make jewelry out of 100% recycled paper. The results are amazingly beautiful and unique jewelry, and these women are provided with a consistent income! I chose this pretty gold sparkly number and thought it went perfectly with my fall look. I am loving ankle boots, chunky sweaters and hats this year. Adding in bold accessories keeps the look from being to casual and adds those pops of shimmer or color to the outfit.

Everyday Style >>> Turquoise

I have been loving chunky, bold and gold statement jewelry for as long as I can remember. Lately, I have been obsessed with dainty, silver and turquoise! I think its fun to stack a ton of little rings or having a few statement rings on each hand. Forget the arm party, its all about a ring party!

Well obviously, I have a new shiny ring on my ring finger so that has become a staple in my everyday look! I got this vintage piece on my middle finger from my mom and I love it a ton. I love that it is a little tarnished and has character! The skinny tear drop ring is from SD Jewelry on Etsy and I love that it makes a statement, but is so dainty!

Though I don't wear that big rock everyday, I picked it up at Topshop and I love how it has a greenish turquoise stone, and great metal work! I try to wear this on its own because it is such a big statement. The little gold one has an "L" for Lewis and I love it. Its inexpensive and from Urban Outfitters but it reminds me of my sweet puppy so I love it. The other piece on my ring finger isn't vintage, but was a gift to my mom that she gifted to me, and I love how it also has the braided metal. 

And recently I added this to my look! This was my moms decades ago and we got it cleaned up and she gave it to me and I love it! Real silver and turquoise, its the best! I love wearing pieces that have some history or a story to them.

Do you like the turquoise trend?

Do you wear any everyday pieces that are family heirlooms or have a great story?

Organizing Jewelry

This past weekend I decided I needed to get more organized with my jewelry, since I use our guest bedroom as an extra closet and dressing room. I still want everything to look pretty and presentable if we have a guest! And it needs to be easy to grab and use on a day to day basis. Here is how I decided to organize and display everything...

-I took a pretty plate we never eat on (Orla Kiely for Target) and laid out all of my watches on top of the dresser for easy access.

- A mirror (Ikea) sits in the corner where I draped a few beaded necklaces and a trinket from traveling over it. It is easily accessible if I need to use it but there is another (larger) mirror nearby.

- The heart shaped box (Urban Outfitters) actually has 3 seperate compartments where I have organized earrings, bracelets, and miscellaneous. It doesn't take up much room, but holds a lot! 

- That ceramic hand (Urban Outfitters) is one of my favorite ways to display fun cocktail rings! 

- The polka dot bowl (Fish & Eddy) houses all of the bracelets I wear on a day to day basis. Not to mention, I love the bowls so much I wont eat out of them so this works perfectly to display them as well!

- The small box was bought in Prague and holds sentimental brooches and charms that I want to keep safely tucked away!

- Bigger bangles, necklaces, and sunglasses are organized in this pretty tray (John Dorian for Target) that I also set out on the dresser or can be hidden away in a drawer if we need more space.

- This vintage jewelry box actually used to belong to my sister when she was in high school. It has lots of drawers for keeping everything organized and hidden and two glass doors that house some more favorite necklaces on hooks. It spins so it is perfect to hold anything and everything! One drawer even has all the spare buttons that come attached to clothes.

- I keep my 2 fedoras right on top in case the mood strikes to wear one!

- Tackle boxes are perfect and airtight for storing the rest of my baubles out of the way while still being organized. These are affordable (around $5 and these are from Kmart in the sporting good section) and come in all different sizes!

- The dividers come loose so you can adjust the size of the space that you may need. Everything stays untangled and dust free and these slip perfectly under the guest bed or in a dresser drawer! I have been using these for years and everything stays put... they are perfect for jewelry storage!
