Bug Jewelry at Anthropologie and Modcloth!

Hello Divas!

Well we made it to Friday! Whoohoo!  I am just looking forward to lying in bed until at least 9am this Saturday morning.  Yes!  All Divas need rest. It replenishes the body and soul.

Chamele has excellent taste!  Don't you agree?  I love her posts because she is hipping me to some cool and adorable websites to find very creative and distinct items. Sweeet! Check out her latest post on Bug Jewelry.

Day19

Are you the kind of girl who isn't really into snakes and crocs unless its on your hand bag or shoes. Me too! I am not a bug chic either, but I keep running across the most adorable bug jewelry.

I am eyeing or more literally stalking the Sparkling Spider Clip-ons and waiting for the moment the price drops on these babies. These creepy crawlers are made from stainless steel and Murano glass beads, and I would let these suckers crawl on my ear all day long. The Sparkling Spider Clip-ons are $278.00 at Anthropologie. 

I also found a pair of giant gilded gold cicadas. I think what attracted me the most to these was the gilded gold. The suckers look a little real, but who wouldn't want a bug dipped in gold, right? The Magicicada earrings are $29.99 at Modcloth.

The fierce passionate Scorpio I am, I represent my sign proudly. I  ran across a cute scorpion ring in a magazine. It is sold at 80spurple.com, but when I went to the website I couldn't find it. So, if you see it, let me know. As much as I don't like  arachnids or their other family members, I would wear any of this bug jewelry all day long.

Until Tomorrow,


Chamele

Update!  The Sparkling Spider Earrings are now on sale for $149 at Anthropologie and there are only 5 pairs of the Magicicada earrings left on Modcloth! Happy Shopping!

How to Properly Layer Accessories

Hello Divas!

How have you been this week?  I have been mostly good!  You know what I learned this week? If you don't think you are beautiful no one else will!

During Mother's Day weekend, I kept seeing examples of improperly placed accessories.  I like to follow the rule set by Coco Chanel, before leaving the house, always remove one accessory.  Over accessorizing is never good.  Here are a few tips when wearing necklaces, dangling earrings, and arm pieces.

Necklaces

When layering necklaces, the best look is a short length necklaces with a long necklace.  The necklaces should compliment each other and one should be more dominant than the other.  This Rachel Roy necklace is a perfect example of layering necklaces:

Earrings

If wearing long dangling earrings usually a necklace is not needed.  If you do choose to wear a necklace, wear a long necklace so there is separation between the earrings and your neck piece.  A short necklace should never be worn with long dangling earrings.

Arm Pieces

I love to layer bangles.  However, I usually limit my layering to three.  Three just seems like enough and not overpowering.  However when I wear a cuff, one is enough.  A big beautiful cuff should speak for itself.

Beautiful Cuff

Happy Accessorizing!

Toodles!

Purple Is The New Black

Hello Divas!

I hope everyone is having an awesome day! I am currently obsessed with all things lavender and purple. I have always liked lavender, but now that purple is the "IT" color for fall, I finally see its Majestic fabness! I am particularly fascinated with purple accessories, coats, and shoes. Check out a few items I found over the weekend. I am so blowing my budget!

1. Mossimo Large Purple Hobo Bag. I just love this bag. I have been to Target 3x in the past week debating whether to buy it. And you know what I am! It is faux leather, but it is a great everyday bag. Also it is large enough to double as a diaper bag, which is perfect for me and my baby girl. It retails for $22.99 at Target.


2. Lavender and Pink Woven Tear Drop Earrings. These earrings are so cute! You can wear these earrings with jeans, a dress, or skirt. I have seen similar earrings that retail for $20.00. These are only $4!!! Purchase them online here at Charlotte Russe.


3. Street Poet Purple Trench. Purple trenches are so in this season. I love the cut and collar of this trench. Wear this trench and you are sure to turn heads. This trench retails for $248 at Anthropologie. You can purchase it here online or visit any Anthropologie store.


4. Ralph Lauren Purple Suede Slouch Boots. Enough Said. These boots retail for $1150. Visit RalphLauren.com for purchase information.
