Perfect Present: Onecklace Jewelry

December 11, 2015 by jessica 5 Comments

If you’re in need of a last-minute present that doesn’t appear to be an afterthought, look no further than Onecklace, an online retailer offering personalized jewelry with free guaranteed Christmas delivery right now. I’ve actually collaborated with Onecklace in the past and I was thrilled when they reached out again this year. I still wear my “Bonjour” necklace every so often. It has held up beautifully over the last two years and the gold plating hasn’t faded. This time around, I still stayed away from having my named engraved on the necklace and opted for a holiday-appropriate “falala” with the same “Alegro” script. Not only can you personalize the word, you can select the chain style and length, and specify any special instructions. (For my necklace, I wanted all of the letters to be lowercase.) I also selected a monogram ring. A signet ring has been on my wishlist for awhile, but I haven’t convinced myself to splurge on the real deal just yet. This modern monogram feels fresh and the understated profile doesn’t compete with my other daily rings. Both items come in at under $70, making them affordable keepsakes to give this holiday season.

Thanks to Onecklace for sponsoring this post!

The Best Jewelry from the Shopbop Sale

October 15, 2015 by jessica 4 Comments

Shopbop’s Friends & Family sale wraps up today with code INTHEFAM25. Don’t miss your chance to save 25% on favorites like Karen Walker sunglasses or the rhinestone beauties above. I couldn’t resist snagging the star ear climbers from the Jem and the Holograms collection at Shopbop. They’re just $22.50 after the discount and an incredibly fun way to pay homage to one of my favorite childhood cartoons.* (Although, I think I’ll skip the movie.) I also picked up this “darling” jewelry tray for my dresser.

*We had to draw self-portraits in preschool and I insisted on giving myself Jem’s signature pink hair. My teacher stifled my creativity and tersely told me that I had brown hair, not pink. I also recall her telling my parents about my irreverent ways when I was picked up that day. I still haven’t forgiven her.

Tickled Pink

The air conditioner at our office has been on the fritz, giving me an excuse to wear my favorite summer dresses to work. No, they’re not the most professional, but it’s one of the perks of working in a casual office. I wore this pink frock yesterday, the first day I was able to go partial weight-bearing on my cast. I still have to use crutches, but at least I could set them aside and spend a few minutes upright on my own! It’s the little things. Three weeks down, three to go, and then I can start enjoying summer.

Dress: Line & Dot
Wristlet: Tory Burch (similar)
Earrings: ASHA
Bracelet: c/o Julie Vos (also love this one)

Pineapple Pendant

June 23, 2015 by jessica 10 Comments

Even though there was a shipping delay on my birthday gift this year, it was worth the wait. Dave surprised me with this Lee Renee pineapple pendant. I first fell in love with the piece with I interviewed the designer back in February of last year and had no idea I’d be spoiled with it months afterward. Isn’t it just the cutest thing? It’s tiny, as you can see in the stock images, but the attention to detail is wonderful and it has a nice weight to it. The solid silver piece is handmade in London with an 18k gold plate.

Gerard Yosca’s Mesa Collection

May 29, 2015 by jessica 4 Comments

If it wasn’t already obvious by the Tory Burch tote (seen here) I’ve been using nonstop or the chambray dress I just purchased, I’m all about the ease of earthy colors and relaxed silhouettes this season. So, it’s probably comes as no surprise that Gerard Yosca’s latest jewelry collection, Mesa, captured my heart. The collection’s statement pendants and earrings are inspired by iconic American designs and a muted southwest color palette. It’s a trend that saturated the fall runways, giving you the perfect excuse to splurge on a piece now and wear it throughout this season and the next. Over the next two weeks, my new blog buddy, Cara, and I will be sharing how we wear and love Gerard’s latest collection.
