Receiving editorial praise within a year of its November 2008 launch, Charm & Chain has become a premier destination for women’s designer jewelry. Ali Galgano, the woman behind it all, sought to expand the role of jewelry in a woman’s wardrobe, resulting in an e-commerce site with a well-curated selection of enviable—and on trend—gems to suit women’s varying styles and budget.

GRAPHIC ART

When I first came across this dress last year, I added it to my wish list without much thought. Then I saw it on Blair and panic purchased it before it sold out. (Tell me I’m not the only person who does that.) I couldn’t have predicted that it would become one of the most worn items in my closet. I usually wear it with a pair of classic black pumps, but I love how it looks with the vibrant pink of these sandals and the Oaks Lily scarf I bought as my souvenir from Churchill Downs.

Kelly Wearstler, $165

I included this ring in a previous “Currently Coveting” post, but that’s not nearly enough recognition for this quirky signet ring from Kelly Wearstler. Appropriately named “revelry,” a pair of legs is joyfully kicking up heels on the face of this showstopper. Want something slightly more subtle? Check out this lippy signet ring.

DOUBLE PEARL

June 11, 2014 by jessica Leave a Comment

I mentioned that I had my eye on this romper in last Friday’s post and I actually purchased it just hours later (it says it’s an online exclusive, but it was available a nearby store). I wore it to dinner that night, for afternoon drinks on Saturday and to run errands on Sunday (the day I took these photos). Move over, LBD. The LBR is proving to be my go-to piece for summer. I prefer the romper with a long pendant, but I wanted to give the oversize pearl trend a whirl with this necklace from Sammydress. Coming in at under $4, it’s a frugal way to try the double pearl trend. Be aware, though, that you get what you pay for. It’s not going to last through the season (I already had to glue one of the beads back on), but that’s probably okay for something as trendy as this.
