• Go Big or Go Home

  

  A glimpse of gold, a flash of glittering stone - when browsing through street style and runway photos during New York Fashion Week bold cuffs and necklaces caught our eye. Although we love the motto 'go big or go home', some things are best left in moderation. When making a big splash with jewelry keep your outfit simple. A simple burn out tee and flare jeans would team perfectly with an Alexandra Beth Louise Necklace. The interlocking gold chains are just bold enough to update a basic outfit to a look worthy of The Sartorialist’s clicking cam. Or elevate a romantic, pleated maxi with a bad girl cuff. Alexandra Beth’s Nancy Shagreen Cuff is one of my favorite pieces because not only is it on trend with its sleek, minimalistic design but the Shagreen detail creates a knock-out “don’t mess with me” look.

  

• Dripping with Luxe

  

  Dripping with luxe turquoise stones and tiny spikes, gone are the statement necklaces of crystal that remind you of your high school prom. Instead, these gem and stud encrusted pieces make a statement in a seriously cool way. Geometric shapes and chunky patterns add dimension and depth to a look that might otherwise be described as a bit lackluster. It’s best to wear this sort of jewelry with bold print patterns and tough heeled ankle boots to make a standout fashion statement. Beth Lauren’s Robin bracelet combines on trend neon acrylic spikes with vintage gold for a truly one of a kind look. Combined with the Dove and Samite, your arms will be partying all night.

• Sartorial Cool

  

  The key to sartorial cool is stylish layering and stacking. Double rings and stackable separates are an easy way to update any look. Aged metals and stones add that bohemian-luxe edge as demonstrated by Erin Wasson, the queen of boho-chic. She delivers that perfect rolled out of bed, rock star look with layered necklaces of mixed metals that keep things effortlessly edgy while simple chains and quirky pendants simmer down the compilation of piled up necklaces. Jessica Elliot’s stacked rings and floating double ring are perfect pieces to build the foundation of laid back accessorizing. The key is to keep the lines simple as it's all in the details. This creates an air of mystery and fascination as different textures and shapes within each piece of jewelry is combined to create you own unique style. We have a Jessica Elliot sale event running now so now is the time to pick up an oh-so stackable arsenal.

  

• A Love for Monograms

  

  Ever since I received my first friendship bracelet with bead letters commemorating my name, my obsession with monogrammed jewelry has shown little sign of wavering. Recently, the trend with accessories has slowed down from “arm parties” to sleek, minimal ware. But, that doesn’t mean a single piece of jewelry is any less stunning than an arsenal of bangles. Subtle necklaces that show off a graceful collarbone or delicate, personalized ring as a statement piece you can wear everyday are elegant and timeless. Whether it’s your loved ones initials or your own, monogrammed jewelry is sentimental and always in style. This week Danielle Stevens Jewelry is featuring an Active Endeavors sale event and offers the opportunity to snag a classic and feminine, monogrammed look (at 50% Off) that is both romantic and commands attention.
