Today I am thankful for…

My new apartment!!!! (pix to come!)

…specifically, my new neighborhood.

…and new roommate!

The many people who not only support me, but are continuously encouraging and cheering me on.

Garnier De-Constructed Beach Chic spray.

Bed Bath & Beyond and their crazy/amazing organizational products.

Good old fashioned movie dates.

January almost being over. It was a good month, but a bit of a “fighting” one, if that makes sense…

An earlier church service on Sunday so we can all watch the Super Bowl :)

“I love life” moments.

all about layering {jewelry}.

If Speakable doesn’t give enough of a hint, you should know that I’m a HUGE accessories girl. While I love clothes, my personal style is attributed mostly to how I accessorize my look(s) – be it handbags, scarfs, shoes- but especially jewelry.

Sometimes I like to keep my jewelry minimalistic, and other times I like it over the top. Layering is a great way to take simple pieces and combine them with others to turn your jewelry into an eye-catching statement.

some tips for layering jewelry:

1. DO mix it up. Styles, lengths, colors etc. Make it fun!

2. DON’T layer necklaces & bracelets at the same time – pick one to emphasize (unless they are subtle pieces).

3. DON’T wear big earrings if layering necklaces.

4. DO trust your own judgment. If it looks like it may be too much, it probably is.
