FORMA

Stumped as to what to give the ladies in your life this holiday season? I think I may have found a fabulous solution for you. I just stumbled across the Etsy store 'FORMA' which sells gorgeous, unique geometric jewelry pieces that are as chic as they are timeless. Personally, I am majorly in love with the gold fan necklace and the gold minimalistic bangles. Which would you pick?

ETSY LOVE: FLOTI NECKLACES

I kind of in love with the necklaces featured in the Etsy shop called Floti. These beauties are created from handmade and hand-painted clay beads and strike me as the perfect pop of color to brighten up your spring wardrobe. Officially wishlisted!

Head over to the shop here to buy something bright and pretty.

JEN LOVES KEV

I am totally digging these hand-painted necklaces from the Etsy shop Jen Loves Kev. There are the perfect combination of pattern and color, chic and eclectic. I can picture wearing them with a black cocktail dress or a simple white t-shirt. Both would look awesome.Check out more of the goodies here.

THE OLYMPICS, CLOSE TO YOUR HEART

You didn't think we were finally past the Olympics references, did you? Silly goose! I am still watching hours and hours of coverage a day and I keep thinking how cool it would be if I could wear something that would signal this serious, fanatical approach to the Games to others. Enter this awesome DIY project from the blog Remarkably Domestic: a miniature Olympic rings necklace! Even if you only get to wear it every couple of years (have to represent the Winter Games too!), it is still pretty sweet.

Check out the full, super simple tutorial here or, if you are cured of Olympic fever, check out the beautiful ombre version here.

I WAS + ALWAYS WILL BE

Pretty necklaces and even lovelier styling from Etsy shop 'I Was + Always Will Be'. Wouldn't these look nice with a simple white tee? They sort of look like Kate Miss' style, right?

Check out all of the above necklaces (and many more) here.

COOL, CLEAN, COLORFUL SUMMER JEWELRY

If you are like me as soon as summer hits you are ready to throw all your black dresses and dark t-shirts out the door (or at least relegate them to the back of the closet). Instead, I am favoring light and airy outfits decorated with bright pops of color. And what better way to do that than to add a couple of fun fabulous pieces of jewelry to your collection? Here are some of my current favorites:

top to bottom, left to right:

Harmonic Mean Necklace, Minoux, $74

Single Ladies Necklace, Minoux, $48

Typewriter Wooden Brooch, craftyfolk, $15 (I also LOVE this one)

Readers Necklace, Forever21, $2.80 (yes, $2.80!)

Snug.Blossom Lemon Wooden Necklace, snugstudio, $47.90

Small Necklaces, Kristina Klarin, 15 Euro

SIMPLY LOVELY

Just a few pieces of jewelry I have been drooling over lately. They would make the perfect addition to a summer wardrobe, no?

JCrew, Pearls Medley Necklace, $13.20*

Tanya Aguiniga, Single Rope Knot Necklace, $125

Anthropologie, Pheasant Under Glass Necklace, $39.95

*I bought a necklace from the JCrew Kids line (called Crewcuts) this weekend. While certainly shorter than their 'adult' jewelry, their kids necklaces still look adorable and are super reasonably priced!
