speakable newness.

Helloooo and happy Monday!

I must admit I’m always a bit wary that I’m posting too much about Speakable - mostly because I never want to seem too self-promoting. BUT…Speakable is my baby and something I’m extremely proud of. So why wouldn’t I share it on a blog about my life, right?

With that being said, I just wanted to let you in on a few exciting things going on over in Speakable world. First of all, (as you may have seen on yesterday’s post) NEW YORK is back!

Secondly, all of the necklaces are now available in lower case lettering, which has been getting a great response.

The new nameplate necklaces have also been getting a ton of love…

And last but not least, I’ve released not one but TWO new words to the Freedom Collection! Well, phrases

BE STILL and BE BRAVE.

Both of those were just really on my heart, so I thought they’d make a perfect addition.

So, that’s that! Thanks again for all of your support and encouragement. You can check out all of the necklaces (and contact me if you have any questions) over at www.Speakable.co, and stay up to date by following Speakable on Instagram.

If you follow me on Instagram you may have seen my newly BLUE hair.

No, I didn’t actually dye my hair blue (although, it IS quite trendy right now according to Pinterest…). That optical illusion is thanks to Shimmering Lights, odd lighting, and a cool-toned filter. I’d never forsake my beloved blonde, but the blue is kinda cool looking, huh?

More color has been making an appearance in my life via my accessories. I definitely tend to lean toward neutrals when it comes to my clothes, but jewelry is a fun and easy way to add a pop of color.

I got this great bracelet from Target. I don’t usually check out their jewelry section, but they had some great finds! I thought this was just so fun for the spring and summer.

Speaking of jewelry, did you know that Speakable necklaces look great with any color? Shameless plug – sorry not sorry.

On the food front, this go-to meal has continued to make an appearance quite often. I always knew this combo of avocado, eggs, and sweet potato was delicious and filling, but it’s also quite the colorful one, yeah?

And then there’s Baby Bo’s Cantina, which is one of my favorite hidden gem restaurants in the city. They have hands down some of the best authentic Mexican food I’ve ever had. Not to mention it’s clearly quite festive there.

What do you think of the bright and bold hair colors trending right now? Would you ever try something like that?

speakable armed & anchored {mini} collection.

If you follow Speakable on social media, you may have seen me mention that I’m currently working on the third full collection. I’m really excited about this one because it includes a handful of the words that YOU have requested most!

I’m aiming to reveal that collection in March, but I couldn’t leave you all hanging until then.

So, in the meantime, I’ve released the Armed & Anchored MINI Collection.

I’ve always loved charm necklaces, and I know that so many people love the symbolism behind them. So I thought, why not let your charm speak for you?

Check out the (limited edition) mini collection here!
