I’ve marveled at plenty a pretty bauble over the years. So many beauties on Etsy that my eyes sometimes start spinning from all the glitz, glamour and glory! And of all the baubles I’ve blogged about, I’m still in mourning that this little number is no longer available; why, oh, why did I snatch it up when I had the chance?? But! All hope is not lost, thankfully! Just feast your eyes on this FANTASTIC gold garnet half eternity ring from ARDONN…

The garnet color reminds me of my red hair, so how cool would it be to color-coordinate the two?!? All I’d need to complete the look would be a red shirt and a red bracelet — perhaps of the carnelian kind??

Are you a fan of this ring style, friends? I didn’t think I’d like an eternity ring, but there’s just something so pretty about it, don’t you think?? xoxo

Have I ever told you about my love of space? It’s a fascination and slight obsession, really. The galaxy. The sun. The moon. The planets. And…the stars!! And speaking of stars, I’m loving these star rings on Etsy lately!!

Maybe I like the fact that the universe reminds me of my father, who used to sit outside with me on a clear summer night and tell stories about the stars. Or maybe I just like the idea of having such a complicated, intangible idea like space in a tangible form around my finger — you know, something that helps me feel a little more connected to the grand cosmos out there.

Either way, there’s something really pretty and understated about gold star rings, like this Zodiac band ($19.93) — it’s demure, but still bold enough to make a statement, don’t you think? Like those stars in the night sky, these rings pop without being overpowering; you notice them, but they’re still sort of subtle and quiet. That’s enough personification, huh?

Anyway, in case you need more convincing, here are three more opulent options…

Stellar stacker, $25

Dainty starburst, $21.31

Celestial signet, $22.52

Which are you favorite of the star rings style, friends? Do you love all things space or are you more of an Earth-dweller? Also, if you have any other recent Etsy faves, I’d love to see them!! xoxo 

Four words: Groovy geometric gold rings!

How’s that for some alliteration, friends?!?!? The moment I saw these gold baubles from Olive Gems, I thought, “wouldn’t it be cool to wear that little star ring on my finger?” It’s subtle with just the right amount of flash and sass — just like me, perhaps?

Plus, gold jewelry just reminds me of fall for some reason, and as we all know, the seasons are a-changing whether we like it or not. I’ve got some fall fashion posts planned for the middle of October, and this ring is the perfect little intro to all things autumnal elegance!

Which geometric gold rings are your favorites? The heart? The star? Something else? I’d love to hear… xoxo

What’s the verdict on tassel necklaces?? Are they a cool fashion statement or a tangled mess that just gets in the way?

I’m still torn on the whole trend, actually. I just can’t seem to figure out tassel necklaces. I mean, they’re colorful and whimsical and some can even be dainty, but I’m thinking they’d be really long on me if I tried to wear one — we all remember how short I am, right? The necklace would probably be down to my knees!

And yet, Etsy has come through again with some super pretty options, like this neon coral number ($23). Or, check out these four that might be starting to change my mind…

Colorful fringe, $24

Blue and gold, $29.75

Tibetan globe pendant, $27.10

Teal boho, $42.95

So…can someone please explain the allure of tassel necklaces to me because I’m one stumped lady! Do you wear them, friends?? xoxo
