It’s the Little Things

Play your cards right.

I caved and  went over my July budget to acquire this Astley Clarke ring. And you know what? It was totally worth it.

An ever-growing collection of coral: Kate Spade purse, Banana Republic Factory Store bracelet and Old Navy shorts.

Top 3: Sailor Rope Bracelets

by

I’ve never been sailing, but it doesn’t stop me from loving all things nautical: Breton stripes, anchor motifs and sailor rope bracelets. Here are three of my favorite brands for a seafaring addition to your bracelet stack:

  • Sailormade – The Brummel Collection at Sailormade uses a brummel hook as a clasp for a sleek, refined look.
    My pick: the Endeavor wrap bracelet in red, $115
  • Kiel James Patrick – An anchor clasp adds a new dimension to this traditional braided rope bracelet.
    My pick: the Blakes Yacht Club bracelet in navy and white, $40
  • The Ropes of Maine – A color-blocked twist on the nautical trend with delightfully oversize hardware.
    My pick: a navy and seafoam combination, $60

5 Steps to the Perfect Stack

by

The perfect stack of bracelets should be eclectic, appear nonchalant, and have the right ratio of statement-makers to delicate adornments. Achieve the perfect mix by combining something:

  1. Chunky – Ground your look with a bold bracelet. Try a traditional chain link version or one with a playful charm.
  2. Colorful – This look is about being playful. A healthy of dose of color from a nautical rope or a vintage-esque bracelet keeps it from getting too serious.
  3. Practical – Keep the phone in your purse. A bold or elegant watch is a classier way to check the time.
  4. Delicate – Offset the statement jewels with a pretty chain or bangle set.
  5. Unexpected – Add a little whimsy to your wrist with a conversation piece. A pair of lion heads or bright-colored leather does the trick.

Outfitted

by

When I was young, I wanted to marry someone whose last name started with an H just so I wouldn’t have to change my monogram. Of course I’ve outgrown that impractical requirement, but I’m pretty happy (and a bit relieved) that Dave shares the same last initial as me.
