Accessorized: Charming Charlie Black and Yellow Dome Ring & Gold-Toned Rhinestone Ring

Just C — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 14:00:23 +0000

As if I even need to say it for the 100th time, I am an accessories maven. I simply can’t get enough rings, bracelets and necklaces, hence the organization issues I have, but I digress. Over the weekend, I visited Charming Charlie, which is by far one of the best places to shop for incredibly affordable pieces. I got hip to Charming Charlie about four years ago while visiting Houston – the company was founded there – and was over the moon once they started expanded and made their way to Alabama. The company is actually in 15 states now and still growing so be on the lookout if there’s not one in your area.

I purchased two rings and spent exactly $25. Talk about a deal. I purchased a black and yellow dome ring ($9.97)and a gold-toned rhinestone ring ($12.97) as well. They’re both great additions to my collection and I’ve already worn my dome ring. I love them both. If you were wondering about my current nail design, I opted for China Glaze Tie the Knot and have my usual funked out nails as well. Be sure to comment and let me know what you think. What’s your favorite place to shop for accessories?

Shiny Things: Vaudeville Vivian Necklace

Just C — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 15:05:48 +0000

I can’t believe it’s been three weeks since I last posted. Yes I’ve been shopping and yes I’ve found some great pieces, but I’ve grown increasing frustrated with not having a quality camera. I pretty much refuse to use my Blackberry because let’s face it, the picture quality just isn’t up to par and I’m two seconds from throwing my Nikon out of the car window while traveling 80 on I459. I’ve got to find some sort of happy medium in the interim though because not posting isn’t gong to cut it either. But I digress…

I checked out Lulu’s today and saw a piece that I pretty much have to have. The Vaudeville Vivian Necklace would be great paired with a basic tee and whatever bottom you choose. I’m all about pairing basic pieces with items a little bit more stunning as it’s usually not expected. *adds to shopping cart* Be sure to comment and let me know what you think of this piece.

Shiny Things: Anna Gold-Toned Bib Necklace, Mixit Black Fringe Necklace & Mixit Ring

Just C — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 15:30:02 +0000

One of the reasons I have that whole jewelry organization problem is because I can’t seem to stop purchasing things. I honestly can’t get enough of necklaces, bracelets and rings. You won’t see me post earrings often because I’m pretty plain Jane in that department – I’ve worn diamond studs for nearly 10 years. Occasionally, I’ll wear something different when going out, but my studs are pretty much my staple.

I only recently – say three weeks ago – discovered JC Penney. I honestly have never even considered shopping there, so imagine my surprise when I found a few great items. I later had a conversation with the BFF to realize that I’d indeed been “sleeping on” JCP because she already knew that they carried some great finds. I was prompted to go after visiting someone’s fashion blog (I should have bookmarked the blog because I loved it) who featured a piece they’d purchased. I picked up three pieces over the weekend that were all pretty well priced.

Shiny Things: Updated Erica Lyons Turquoise Layered Necklace, Erica Lyons Turquoise Dome Ring & Merona Silver Bangles

Just C — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 14:00:45 +0000

Unless you’ve been under a rock, you know that I adore accessories to no end. I seriously buy at least one new item per week (hence the jewelry armoire issue I have). I love bold pieces, long necklaces and I love to mix and match textures. Today, I was in a Aztec mood. I paired Erica Lyons Turquoise Dome Ring that a purchased more than five years ago with Erica Lyons Turquoise Layered Necklace that I bought about two weeks ago. I found the Merona Silver Bangles in Target about two weeks ago as well.

I purchase a large potion of my jewelry from Belk as pieces are typically well crafted and last for years. They have seasonal clearance sales and mark the accessories down ridiculously low so I rack up throughout the year.

The Who: Owl Rings

Just C — Wed, 26 May 2010 16:10:34 +0000

A few months ago, I completely fell in love with owl jewelry. I kept telling myself to buy a ring, but I never got around to it until a week or so ago. To my surprise, I’m not alone in my love for this, what some would call “odd” trend. My blogging friend, @Odara112 mentioned that she’d purchased one as well. I was totally jealous when she said she found it on clearance at Target. Excusssssssse me, but how did I miss that sale?! She doesn’t know if yet, but since I’ve been unable to find it at my neighborhood Target, she’ll be sending me hers. Ha! If she refuses to give me hers, I will be checking out Lulu‘s to find one similar.

Giving You The Finger…Or Two: Two Finger Rings From Rachel Roy+ Estelle, Oak & Urban Outfitters

Just C — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 17:00:07 +0000

I’m all about jewelry and two finger rings are one of my new favorite things. I went into the phase a few years ago and said I wouldn’t wear rings again until I got THE ring. You know the third finger left hand weight. So umm yeah, I got over that and now I love huge Katherine Chancellor rings (#shoutout to all of my Y&R fans) as well as more dainty but still statement-making two finger options. My first two finger ring purchase was from the Rachel Roy + Estelle limited collection. I’ll probably purchase a gold one – who am I kidding, I AM going to purchase a gold one. Hopefully I’ll find one with black stones. So, what do you think of this trend? Be sure to comment and let me know your thoughts.

Shiny Things: Obey Amethyst Forest Ring

OohJazzy — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 18:30:32 +0000

I love this Amethyst Forrest Ring by Obey. It’s unlike anything I presently own. The stone look is absolutely stunning. I just wish there was a necklace similar to the ring. I definitely see myself wearing it to work. The amethyst is such a great color as it really stands out. I’m becoming a huge fan Obey jewelry collection. Are you a fan?

Shiny Things: Sweet Memories Necklace

Just C — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 15:00:58 +0000

Once upon a time, you wouldn’t catch me in anything gold (or gold-toned). I was all about all silver everything, but those days are long gone. I’m a true necklace lover, so anything I find one that would be great either layered or worn solo, I can’t resist making the purchase. Granted, because this find is so fashionably frugal, you may only get a few wears out of it, but that’s just fine.

The Sweet Memories Necklace is a delicate gold brushed chain that features a hanging safety clip that locks in a pair of ballet slippers, a small elephant charm and a coin that reads “You are always in my heart.” It measures 18″ long and fastens with a lobster clasp and 3″ extender. How cute is this! Be sure to comment and let me knwo what you think.

OohJazzy — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 17:00:16 +0000

We all know Guess for their gorgeous handbags and badass shoes, but next on the list is their accessories. I absolutely love the Guess Black and Gold Charm Bracelet. I really like the fact that they mixed gold tone links and black beads. The charms are a lighting bolt, lips, diamond ring, heart and of course the “G”. This is something I would add to my jewelry box, but will you? Be sure to leave a comment on this Shiny Thing.

Fantasy Files: Rolex Vintage Oyster Perpetual President Day Date 18k Gold Automatic Men’s 18078 Watch

Just C — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 18:00:33 +0000

There are a few things that I would absolutely love to own. I don’t know if I will ever acquire them, but I will covet them nonetheless. A Rolex, surprise surprise, just happens to be toward the top of my list. Specifically, a vintage Mens gold Rolex. Now when you talk Rolex, you talk money and when you talk vintage…well you know where I’m going with this.

This particular watch is circa 1988. The round 18k yellow gold case with 18k yellow gold fluted bezel surrounds the yellow gold dial that houses the date display with trademark Cyclops lens and day display. A pair of yellow gold and luminescent hands marks the perpetual automatic movement, which is shown through the applied diamond indicators as markers. Finishing this piece is the original Rolex 18k yellow gold Presidential bracelet and 18k yellow gold folding clasp. It’s just so presidential. *learns head to the right and sighs*

Shiny Things: The Extras Big Ball Long Chain Necklace

OohJazzy — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 14:00:49 +0000

The Extras Big Ball Long Chain Necklace is really similar to a bib necklace. A little secret: I’m not particularly fond of them. *shrugs* Sue me. I’m still on the fence about this necklace but I’m leaning more towards liking it. Just looking at the picture of the necklace alone doesn’t really score any points, but once I saw it on the model, I saw it in a completely different light.

The black suede necklace, wrapped in a pewter chain with gray and black spheres, is excellent for a dressed down, casually cute look. If purchased, I could see wearing it a time or two – think work events. Maybe I will add it to the jewelry box with all of my other special occasion accessories. I know what you’re thinking, and yes, I have them organized in categories. Be sure to leave your two cent on this Shiny Thing in the comment section.

The 18k gold plated ring with tiger head and rhinestone detail is super cute and versatile. It’s a very bold piece - imagine shaking hands wearing it. It’s priced great at only $26.00. I’ll be adding this to my many accessories. Be sure to leave your two cents in the comment section and let me know how you feel about this Shiny Thing.

The Private Stash: New Directions Mixed Media Necklace

Just C — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 17:00:24 +0000

If you follow me onTwitter, you know that I’ve been hitting up different Belk department stores left and right because they have their annual end of year clearance going on now. It’s virtually impossible for me to resist a great sale so I thought I’d share some of my purchases. One of my purchases from last night was the New Directions Mixed Media Necklace.

I was immediately draw to it because of the it has two elements I love: mixed media and lucite. Lucite, which is basically “fancy plastic” is making a comeback in a strong way. If you ask me, it never really went anywhere, but we’re beginning to see it more and more again. It has the adjustable clasp which I love and I can pair it with just about anything I choose.

Sidebar: My apologies for the picture quality. I need to charge the batteries in my digital camera, which takes all of one hour, but I can’t seem to find the time to do so. I snapped this with my BB in my office under awful florescent lights.

Shiny Things: Vita Fede Snake Kat Style Bracelet

Just C — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 20:00:46 +0000

Can you say, ow! I loooove the Vita Fede Snake Kat Style Bracelet. It’s absolutely stunning and is truly a show stopper. I have an affinity for all things accessories if you haven’t noticed by now. Well, accessories, bags, shoes, clothes, well basically everything, what can I say. The Vita Fede Snake Kat Style Bracelet is nothing short of smooth, buttery leather deliciousness.

The face of the piece features 24k yellow gold plated hardware and its watchband-style bracelet is composed of supple leather. The piece measures 10″ long and will fit 7 1/2″ – 8″ wrists. *thinking* Exactly how am I to know the circumference of my wrist…and why, it if measures 10″ does it only fit a 7 1/2″ to 8″ wrist? What happened to the other two inches? So many questions.

Vita Fede Snake Kat Style Bracelet $138.00 / Max & Chloe

I remembered that I had some ribbon in my desk drawer. My wrist measurement means that it should fit just fine. *still wondering about those “lost” two inches*

Shiny Things: Apt. 9 Silvertone Ring

Just C — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 14:30:39 +0000

You all know how I love big “Katherine Chancellor” rings (do any of you all watch The Young and The Restless?) so I had a bit of a field day when I hit up Kohl’s last night. I was actually in there not looking for anything in particular when I came across the Apt. 9 ring. Purple has been one of my signature colors of the season, so I instantly fell in love and had to buy it. It was regularly priced at $20, but if you shop Kohl’s you know that you never pay the sticker price for anything in the store…like ever. The ring was on sale for $14. There’s nothing like another big ring to add to my jewelry armoire. Be sure to comment and let me know what you think of my new Shiny Thing.

The Private Stash: Black Clutch Erica Lyons Gold Chandelier Earrings

Just C — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 16:00:10 +0000

If you follow me on Twitter, you know that I spent the last week making purchases of a dress and accessories for a wedding I attended Saturday. After searching a few sites for the perfect black clutch, I decided to scope out the Belk near my house because they’re always having a sale and I was sure to find something. I actually didn’t make it until the store until Saturday afternoon (the wedding was at 5 pm), but I didn’t walk away empty handed. As my dress had a black lace overlay, I wanted a clutch that was simple and chic and I found just that. Because of the dresses neckline, I opted for danging earring rather than a necklace and the entire look turned out great. *pats self on back*

One of my tweeps, Momleaux of Lolo’s Cube knew just how much I loved the Marc Jacobs Lola Perfume bottle and sent me a link to the Marc Jacobs Lola Solid Perfume Ring. How cute is this ring? I told myself I wasn’t going to purchase anything for a few weeks and I was actually successful in not buying myself anything in January, hence, I didn’t buy it…until today. After all, it’s not January anymore.

The ring measures 1 1/2″ in diameter and stands 1″ tall. This is the perfect way to make a bold statement. I can’t wait until it arrives. I think I love it even more with that pouch. I know I’ll find a use for it.

I’ve been searching for a rosary or cross and hadn’t quite found what I’d been looking for until now. After all, I refuse to purchase one of the horrible ones from those jewelry kiosks in the middle of the mall…I could never.

Shiny Things: Disney Couture Jewelry Dream Pave 3 Ring Set

Just C — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 20:00:21 +0000

A friend hipped me to Disney couture Jewelry more than a year ago. Before you frown and say Disney, check out the collection. We’re not talking about those “It’s a Small World” playing Mickey Mouse watches everyone had in the mid-90s. We’re talking completely fabulous, fashion forward pieces that are great for tweens, teens and young adults.

The three ring set is from the Kidada Jones Cinderella Collection. The rings are 14K gold plated with “A Dream is a Wish Your Heart makes” engraved and a pink heart on one ring, and pink and clear pave crystals on other rings. My only fear is that the gold plating would irritate my skin, but if I only wear the set every once and a while, maybe it won’t be so bad. So, what do you think? Be sure to leave your two cents about this Shiny Thing.

At the very least, I browse Supermarket everyday. I don’t always buy, but I love being exposed to so many new, talented and on-the-rise designers. When I discovered the Lauren Haupt Jewelry Big Rec Necklace, its simplicity immediately won me over. Of course, I love over-the-top statement pieces and huge soap opera-inspired rings, but I have gained a new appreciate for dainty small pieces.

The brass rectangle hangs from a 16″ sterling silver chain. Mixed metals also give a great edge to pieces and I think the necklace would look amazing worn by itself or layered with a few other pieces. I’m all about the layering!

Shiny Things: Awaken Jewelry Mizuki Necklace, Kamaria Earrings & Chelsea Necklace

Just C — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 20:00:00 +0000

I come across new designers on a constant. Perhaps it’s because I love indie artists, local and regional designers and things of that nature. There’s something so grand about wearing a piece of jewelry that you know not everyone else is going to have. I really do get a little giddy when someone compliments me on a piece and I’m able to say I found it in some little shop or online boutique of which they’ve never heard.

Awaken Jewelry designer Clare Johnston creates amazing little works of art with semi-precious stones and sterling silver. The Awaken Jewelry Mizuki Necklace is one of my favorite pieces from the Luna Collection. The large fine silver pendant, which measures nearly 1.35″ in diameter hands from a 16″ sterling silver chain.

Awaken Jewelry Mizuki Necklace $75.00 / Awaken Jewelry

I also adore the amethyst Kamaria Earrings(Luna Collection) and the Chelsea Necklace (Joy Collection).

Accessorized: bebe Denim Layered Necklace

OohJazzy — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 18:00:09 +0000

The Bebe Denim Layered Necklace is super cute and not like any other accessory you will have in your jewelry box. Sidebar: Do people still even have jewelry boxes? The layers makes it similar to the bib necklace but the touch of denim adds a bit of new flavor.

bebe Denim Layered Necklace $40.00 / bebe

Denim accessories are is be coming the new season accessory. Priced at $40.00 will you be adding this to your collection?

Shiny Things: French Connection Diamante Bracelet

Just C — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 20:00:57 +0000

The French Connection Diamante Bracelet is a steal priced at $40.00, more than 50% off it’s original $98 price. I talk a lot about statement pieces, specifically statement necklaces, but this is the first bracelet that’s caught my eye in a while. It will knock your style out of the park. Must.Buy.Now.

Cash Or Credit: Vera Wang Rhinestone & Lace Bib Necklace vs. Simply Vera Vera Wang Silver-Tone Box Chain Bib Necklace

OohJazzy — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 20:00:31 +0000

When it comes to fashion, I’m the one my friends call on, but sometime even I have problems. I’m the girl who goes over the top with accessories because sometimes, I just never know when enough is enough. During my weekend shopping, I found the super cute Simply Vera Vera Wang Silver-Tone Box Chain Bib Necklace which would add just the right about of flavor to spice up an outfit. As I proceeded to shop, I found the Vera Wang Rhinestone & Lace Bib Necklace, though cute its way out of my price range especially for such a “trendy” accessory.

Love Is A Beautiful Thing: Anne Kiel Love Ring

Just C — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 18:00:32 +0000

Sometimes, I totally believe in the premise of a picture being worth one thousand words. In this case, I think the femininity of the Anne Kiel Love Ring speaks for itself. How could I not love it?

The ring is made of sterling silver and features a lightly sandblasted heart on a thin, comfortable band. It’s available in sizes 4 – 12.

Shiny Things: Shards of Glass Necklace & Earring Set

Just C — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 20:00:01 +0000

I think one thing my friends and family can appreciate is the ease they find when it comes time to buy me a gift. I am SUCH a girl, what can I say. I love jewelry, bags, clothes and shoes, so whatever they choose, they can’t really go wrong. I pretty much had to peel myself from the floor after I visited Shop 4 Sparkles. There’s so much stuff on the site will make you fall in love. The best thing about it is that all items are so affordable. Check out the site and you’ll see exactly what I mean.

The Shards of Glass is made of opaque acrylic in a deep jade color. The necklace, in dark silver metal, is 18″ with a 3″ extender and the shards hang an additional 3 1/2″. A bonus – it’s a set that comes with earrings.

Shards of Glass $13.99 / Shop 4 Sparkles

The Fab Five: Jingling Key, Satin Chai, Gloria, Emilia Bead Chain & Amber Charm Necklaces

Just C — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 16:00:16 +0000

I’m not afraid to admit that I have been sleeping on Forever 21 accessories. I had no idea there were so many awesome pieces at such incredible prices. I’ve only been in a store once or twice and neither time did I leave with a great impression. Each time, the store was cluttered and seemed to be a hodgepodge of things randomly tossed together. Is it like that in all of them? In any event, I’ve rounded up five absolutely fabulous necklaces that I’ll be purchasing. I can’t believe they’re all so inexpensive. Goodie!

Jingling Key Necklace $4.80 / Forever 21

Satin Chain Necklace $14.80 / Forever 21

Leap Frog: Akira Frog Leaf Ring

Just C — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 14:00:48 +0000

I’m a lover of fashion jewelry. Sidebar: Doesn’t it seem so retro to call it costume jewelry. I think I’ll start referring to it in that way again. In any case, the Akira Frog Leaf Ring is so making its way to me in 5, 4, 3…I can think of a few ladies who would love this ring.

Shiny Things: Alex & Ani Alivia Recyled Gold Pin

Just C — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 14:00:19 +0000

I’m pretty sure that the Alex & Ani Alivia Recyled Gold Pin is my new favorite thing. It’s so cute and dainty and would look great pinned to a solid, richly hued cardigan. Since I can’t get enough of jewelry, I find my armoire bursting from both sides. Perhaps I should go through it and get rid of things I know longer wear. The tricky thing with jewelry is that I could very well get around to wearing it again. What to do, what to do?

Shiny Things: Clarence Cuff

Just C — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 18:00:47 +0000

The Clarence Cuff is adorable and would be a great addition to the jewlery collection. Cuff bracelets add a little pizazz and may be dressed up or down. It features a small black stone in the middle for an extra element of interest. I like it and at $8.00, it’s a style steal.

Clarence Cuff $8.00 / LuLu’s

Shiny Things: Metal Sugar Gold Hanger Necklace

Just C — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 22:00:46 +0000

Once I get over the shock of the money spent on Christmas gifts, the Metal Sugar Gold Hanger Necklace will be my very next purchase. The necklace, also available in sterling and brass, is just what every uber stylish woman needs. A hanger! How can you not love it!

Shiny Things: Hera Sterling Cuff Bracelet

Just C — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 20:00:45 +0000

The Hera Sterling Cuff Bracelet was a Christmas gift from my sister which she picked up during her vacation to Greece. I absolutely love it for more than one reason. It’s a cuff – I absolutely love cuff bracelets and think they’re a must-have for every stylish woman. Also, it’s from Greece so no one else will have it! I don’t know how much it cost nor the shop from which it was purchased. If you want on like it, good look with that. I kid as I’m sure you can find one similar in a local boutique.

Writings On The Wall: B-Side Graffiti Earrings

Just C — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 16:00:48 +0000

I’ve been heavy on fusion of graffiti and fashion movement. So much so that I instantly fell in love with the Rachel Roy collaboration with tag artist SenOne. The B-Side Graffiti Earrings are handmade in brass and enamel and measure 1.25” long. They’re just dainty enough. They’re not to over-powering and that’s just like I like it.

Fight For Your Rights: B-Side Rights ID Necklace

Just C — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 16:00:21 +0000

The B-Side Rights ID Necklace is by far one of the coolest pieces of jewelry I have ever seen. Each of the two-side necklaces uses landmark U.S. Civil Rights Supreme Court case identifiers as its “voice”. There are four from which you may choose as follows:

517 U.S. 620 1996 – Romer v. Evans – protects against discrimination by sexual orientation.
258 U.S. 130 1922 – Leser v. Garnett – upholds 19th amendment – Women’s right to vote.
347 U.S. 483 1954 – Brown v. Board of Education – desegregates schools.
388 U.S. 1 1967 – Loving v. Virgina – legalizes interracial marriage.

Talk about making a statement. Though a little pricey at $165.00, I think whatever message you choose is worth it.

Princess To The Throne: Mod Cloth Heiress Necklace

Just C — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 20:00:56 +0000

I love bib necklaces. They’re an awesome look that adds a big touch of sophistication, even to the simplest of outfits. Pair it with a simple knit dress or top and you’ll look as if you own the room. The
Mod Cloth Heiress Necklace’s soft pink hue projects such an innocence – like 2009 alternative to pearls type of distinction.

Ice Age: Modern Geometry by Shy Siren Random Necklace

Just C — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 16:00:39 +0000

I have a feeling I would find myself in my dentist’s chair if I purchase the Modern Geometry by Shy Siren Random Necklace. The gemstones look like yummy blue ice cubes that I’d bite before even realizing what I’m doing. The aqua gemstones are suspended between tiny sterling silver nugget beads on a 17″ sterling silver Venetian box chain.
