Brilliant Earth: Personality Style Challenge

Brilliant Earth: Personality Style Challenge by n-daj 

How would you describe your style?

Are you...

A blue jeans and tee kind of girl?

Drawn to floral, feminine styles, and patterns?

Glamorous and into stilettos and glitter?

Minimalist, no-nonsense elegant style?

Into vintage dresses and thrift store shopping?

Strive to be on the cutting edge?

For me? Well, it depends on the day! Except maybe the thrift store option.. But I can't say that my style really has a definition. I just wear what I like! And as I'm picking out my dress for a dinner tonight, I'm feeling "into stilettos and glitter" so that's what I chose to style for the Brilliant Earth Style Challenge.

What kind of girl are you?

Earring My Bell

Statement necklaces and rings have been all the rage lately, so it was warranted when ear lobes everywhere stopped listening and started asking "Where's the love, guys??". Well dear ear lobes, your  prayers have been answered. More attention was given to the accessory up north on the spring/summer runways with the introduction of the ear cuff.

For a minute, we'll strip away all the collar necklaces, layered bracelets, and loud clothes and showcase all the greatness that earrings have to offer day after day.

Shop here: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday

This post was inspired by this week's IFB project: Your Best Earring Bling. 

Stella and Dot jewelery party

Sparkle, shimmer, shine, and cookies was how I spent my Sunday afternoon, which was a nice change from my usual Sunday routine – watching a marathon on TLC and regretting my late night delivery from the night before. After my cookie overload and panic attack over all things pretty, I slapped myself, gave myself a pep talk in a..zen..corner, and got my act together enough to enjoy the sparkly fun. 

My "I'm just here to look" mind set quickly changed after I saw these green pear shaped drop earrings. I loved how they looked like they once belonged to some classy old lady that croaked and decided to leave these to me. I suppose some people may call that 'vintage looking' but I'm going to coin the term 'croak-chic'. I also liked the matching ring but had limited myself to one item only, a decision that I think I regret more than the chicken bologna donut I just consumed.

Another fave piece at the party was this multi-coloured necklace. I love all the oceany shades and it makes me sad that summer is over. It would be cute with a white summer dress and coral heels for another pop of colour. Sigh.  

Serenity Necklace

All in all, it was a great day. Thanks Sparkle Queen for hosting!

Pink isn't just for babies

I first came across rose gold a few years ago and I’ve been hooked. It complements any outfit and you can mix it with other metallics without clashing. The hardest part was deciding on which items to invest in. But ever since Sophie’s choice was resolved, it’s been my jam.

Currently wearing: Michael Kors watch. H&M bracelet.

Accessories in this hue were the first to capture my attention on wrists, fingers and necklines but the rest of the body must have filed an affirmative action suit because it’s appearing on clothing, purses, makeup, shoes, and more. So girls, get rosey and shimmer your days away!  

Boys, don’t feel left out. Real men don’t just wear pink anymore. Real men wear rose gold! Michael Kors and Burberry are only a few of the brands to have rose gold watches for men. The man bling doesn’t end there, it has made its appearance on cuff links, tie clips, and man tiaras. Ok maybe not tiaras. Although everyone deserves to be a princess for a day.

Lanvin cuff links and tie clip. Burberry watch.

It may seem like the sudden invasion of rose gold is trendy but I definitely think it’s becoming more of a staple. So the next time your birthday or Valentines Day comes around – remember this - roses die but rose gold is forever.
