spring fever

via

Spring has official sprung! I love this time of year....love is the air, the days are longer, the weather starts to warm up, & all the new spring clothes come out! That is probably my favorite part - the new spring trends! 

There is SO much color this year...bright yellows and greens. Corals and blues. It all screams spring time! Besides new clothes, new jewelry trends come out as well. Again, a lot of pretty bright colors are being found in the necklaces and rings. Along with a lot of gold. I believe an outfit is not complete without some type of accessory. I don't think you should over wear accessories because remember less is always more,  but adding a little bling is always a good idea. 

While browsing the web I came across this great site  that has all this gorgeous jewelry & with so many different unique pieces. I was loving all the gold and the Birth Stone pieces they have. 

Its no secret I am obsessed with my birthday so I love wearing my birthstone in jewelry pieces. You can shop by your birthstone & they have every birthstone.

So I wanted to put together some classic spring looks & show you how to incorporate the right amount of jewelry into your look, using pieces from this new site I found. 

The first look I put together using pieces only from the Birth Stone Collection. Since my birthday is in May my gem is an Emerald. 

So this outfit is the perfect day time outfit, out about on the weekend or a day party.

Since the dress is simple I would layer necklaces - { left to right } I chose this Emerald Bead necklace & would then layer it with the Emerald & White Sapphire Pendant w/ Chain with matching ring & then I loved this Elephant Link gold bracelet with emerald eyes. It was the perfect piece to complete the outfit. 

Even when you're having just a casual day hanging around the house or pool you can still accessorize.

since this look is more casual I didn't want to get too crazy with the accessories so I chose this simple silver chained "laugh" tag.  I love accessories that say stuff like love, hope, wish. Dont you? So I added these multi strand silver bracelets & I am obsessed with this sterling silver cross ring. And I completed the look with some adorable flower studs. 

so this next look is my favorite. Its perfect for a date night or a day wedding. I wanted the look to be very girly and summery, so I wanted the accessories I added to have the same feel.

I wanted to add this adorable flower statement necklace because of all the pretty colors so I kept the tank top a simple white. Then I added a simple thick gold bracelet...{ which has a cool magnetic clasp } to one wrist and on the other these fabulous hand painted multi colored bangles. And completed the look with a beautiful Citrine gem statement ring which is also the gem for Birthstone month November.  

And lastly I put together a perfect spring outfit for a more dresser occasion. When you have a more dresser look you can get a little bit more crazy with your accessories.

So of course I wanted to add a statement necklace to this simple black dress, so I chose this gold & turquoise bead necklace...I loved how it looks like there are spikes hanging from it, matching the look of the gladiators. Along with the gold bracelets from above I wanted to add this thick chain "Arpa Oro" bracelet for a bigger statement, along with a gold watch on the other wrist....& of course a gold statement ring. I really love the oval shape of that ring, its simple yet can be worn with anything. 

So as you can see adding a few statement pieces to your spring wardrobe is the perfect addition to your bright spring clothes. 

What are your favorite pieces?

so you know when you were a little baby & your parents put you in bibs while you ate to protect your clothes from any food you might spill...well today i'm here to talk about another type of bib....goes in the same place, just has a different usage. 
im talking about BIB necklaces....not your typical babble statement necklace that everybody in their mothers owns...still haven't jumped that trend yet....what i'm talking about is huge, thick, BIG bib necklaces - see below

via

it is such a fun trend & something you don't see very often....unlike the babble necklace its a lot thicker & can have many different types of jewels, beads, chains etc. When wearing a bib necklace you have to dress around it because it is such a huge statement piece. Personally, I would pair it with something very plain so that the necklace was the main feature of my outfit. Would you try the bib trend? Yes? You really want too but can't seem to find the PERFECT bib? Well you're in luck! do you know this beauty?

well for those of you who don't this is Sarah & she writes a freaking HILARIOUS blog over at Hot Mess Mommie but that's not all she does...she's also a Stella & Dot Stylist & we've come together today for a fabulous
