Calvin Klein Jewels of the Week

Sleek minimalism is so refreshing during the Summer. Usually I only go for Gold and Rose Gold but I like all the use of Silver that Calvin Klein has incorporated in his most recent line. Each piece has so much architecture to it. Which one would you pick?

Love Obsessed: Jewels of the Week

The ultimate classic bracelet 

Something funky like the Amber Necklace 

Allesandra Bracelet 

I love that the owner and designer of Love Obsessed started everything from her dining room table. It's a great reminder that you have to start from somewhere. Be sure to follow them on Instagram @loveobsessed so you can stay current with all of her designs and the major sales she has.

Have a fab week my loves!

The Giving Keys

There's nothing much simpler than a key hanging from a chain, yet with words like 'Fearless' and 'Courage' this simplicity becomes profoundly beautiful. "The giving keys" make a great gift ( hello Mother's Day), and have an amazing purpose behind their creation. People transitioning out of homelessness are employed by The Giving Keys to give them more opportunities. Check out one of my favorite blogs 'What Courtney Wore' to see how Courtney Kerr styled her giving keys. What inspiring message would you choose?

Organize your everyday jewelry

All Stella & Dot jewelry featured ℅ Stella & Dot, Tray ℅ Nordstrom

I got the prettiest perfume tray last week but thought it would be a good idea to display my "everyday" jewelry on as well. Monday mornings can be tough, often leaving me staring into the bathroom mirror resembling an extra from Death Becomes Her. The best way to combat this is to stay organized! How many times do you find yourself rummaging through drawers looking for your favorite studs? Get out there and find a pretty serving tray from an affordable place like HomeGoods and make a list of your most commonly worn earrings, bracelets, necklaces and rings and display away! Don't forget to enter my giveaway from Friday's blog post for a chance to win your very own Stella & Dot necklace! How do you stay organized on Monday mornings?

Crystal Pendant Necklace $34.50

Hello Monday! Ann Taylor Loft is having a 40% off sale on all of these lovely items - thank me later, shop now! I'm really digging the pearl ring.

Frida Kahlo Inspired Jewels of the Week

Vogue Cover 

Frida Kahlo pendant 

Amber necklace from the Frida Kahlo collection by Eduardo Garza

amazon.com

My curiosity for the woman with the unibrow found me surfing the internet vigorously searching for answers. The more I read the more I needed to see and jumping on a plane to fly to Mexico to explore the Blue House is definitely not an option right now so I settled down with my trusty friend; Netflix. Frida Kahlo was a force to be reckoned with! Her image alone speaks volumes about her revolutionary attitude towards life. Kahlo wore statement pieces and captivating prints that would make any woman swoon. But what put me in awe was that no matter how intense her life got she somehow managed to pull through it - you can see her pain and her passion through her art. Much respect to her for bravely pouring her pain onto canvas for the rest of us to discover.
