Etsy Love: Tassel Necklaces With All the Flair

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

Etsy Love: These Sweet Vintage Soda Pop Tees Are Super Delicious

Pop quiz (no pun intended): Say it’s a hot and humid summer afternoon and you desperately need to quench your thirst. You reach for an ice-cold can. What do you call that fizzy, bubbly goodness?? Soda or pop?? I only ask because these vintage soda pop tees are making my mouth water just looking at them…

I mean, we’ve already established just how much I adore all things soda pop! Case in point: When I was a teenager, we visited the World of Coca-Cola in Atlanta and, to this day, I dream of going back and immersing myself in the ultimate soda pop experience! Seriously, if you’ve never been there, I highly recommend it — and, no, this is NOT sponsored!

Anyway, I thought it only appropriate to celebrate my love of soda pop with some fashionable attire; I’ve even hinted that some soda pop tees would make a very suitable birthday present for me (*wink, wink…my birthday is less than two weeks away!), but my mom and sister didn’t seem enthused by my brilliant idea. But maybe they’ll see this post? Here are some of my favorite vintage soda pop tees picks, like this funny “It’s Called Pop, Not Soda” shirt, $25…

’90s Dr. Pepper logo, $19.90

A&W root beer, $19.20

Take the Pepsi Challenge, $42

’90s Coca-Cola polar bear, $19.99

So, friends…what’s YOUR favorite soda pop these days? Barq’s and Mountain Dew will always have my heart!! Stay cool in this summer heat… xoxo

P.S. Remember these cool magnets? And these vintage photos?

This Turquoise Ring Captures the Perfect Summer Vibes

Cool. Laid-back. Chill. Nothing screams summer more than those three words, right? I mean, I practically want to lounge in a hammock after just reading those adjectives. Well, throw in this dreamy bauble in the form of a turquoise ring and I’m already snoozing for HOURS on said hammock!! #NapTime

But, seriously, how cool is this ring?? The greenish/blue color sort of reminds me of the ocean, and the gold band reminds me of a golden summer sunset — you know, just as the sun is sinking in the sky and everything takes on a soft golden glow? Is there anything more calming than that?? I don’t think so!

Would you wear this beauty, friends? After all, it might just be the perfect accessory to complete that boho chic look… xoxo

Here are 5 pretty pieces that give back in a big way, starting with this women’s J.Crew X Human Rights Campaign “Love first” T-shirt ($34.50), with 50 percent of the purchase price going to the Human Rights Campaign…
