i seem to have jewelry on the brain lately...i guess i always do, but it's popping up quite a bit these past days...
i like the pretty sparkly real jewels. don't we all? they are life-long friends in the realm of accessories. a nice, simple (or not so simple if you are bling-ier) collection of fine jewelry can carry you all the way through. and then there's the fun stuff. costume jewelry lets you play dress-up in a much more bold way. a fun piece, a cuff, ring, necklace, can take an outfit from zero to hot in no time at all. you can go mild or you can go wild. the sky's the limit - and because it's costume you can afford to play around with a lot more looks to spruce up your existing wardrobe. a tee-shirt and jeans can be transformed into as many different looks as you have costume pieces. it's a bit genius really.
J Crew has always been a good place to go for the fun and good quality costume jewelry. i am a big fan. in the past 5 years they've been a bonanza of good finds. (including one of my favorite and most complimented necklaces of all time). right now, they have a super fantastic bunch of pieces in - including this ridiculously adorbs ring. LOVE. and then - my little ears did hear that in April they will be launching a jewelry collection in collaboration with Fenton/Fallon. my heart did a little dance upon hearing this. Fenton/Fallon is fun, modern, chic rocker AMAZING -- add this to the goodness already going on at J Crew and we've got ourselves a goldmine kids. thank you Easter bunny!
