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

How gorgeous are these shiny gemstone rings from Lara Mogensen on Etsy?

I have a history of gravitating toward all things delicate and dainty when it comes to jewelry, but I’m starting to appreciate the beauty of a gigantic pop of brightness — a bling of pizzazz, if you will. I may be a tad quiet and on the demure side sometimes, but I can also be loud and flashy at other times, so how cool to have a pretty piece that perfectly reflects my personality!  Try saying that one 10 times fast!

And I love the idea that the two fashion styles can both be my favorite — maybe they could even exist simultaneously? Or would that be too much of a fashion faux pas? You know I’m forever learning about the dos and don’ts of style.

Which is your favorite color ring, friends? The pumpkin spice ring is great! Are you flashier or more understated when it comes to your own personal style? xoxo

P.S. More Etsy Love…

Gah! How pretty and oh-so-perfect is this emerald ring from Etsy shop JUVELART? Don’t mind me while I’m ooohing and ahhhing like a true fangirl over here!

I don’t know what it is, but I’m starting to really love emeralds. It’s not even my birthstone, but it’s such a beautiful color. A deep green that just feels so calming, you know? Plus, emerald stones are called the stones of love, and you all know I’m all about love! They also promote hope and compassion, which we could all use a little more of — both for ourselves and others.

So, friends, there’s your little stone lesson for the day! What do you think? Aren’t you loving this emerald ring?? And, what’s your all-time favorite stone?? xoxo
