Happy National Jewel Day! In order to celebrate this sparkling day, I am sharing my favorite jewelry pieces with you. The butterfly ring is actually a gift for my daughter, she doesn’t know yet, so shhhh!

We are still in the investment dressing era. This means our jewelry should follow suit. As you add to your jewelry collection, look for timeless pieces such as what I have featured above. These jewelry pieces will last a lifetime and when it comes to style. I love classic pieces at affordable prices.

So, since today is National Jewel Day, feel free to layer your baubles and enjoy what has been sitting in your jewelry box! This is a day to sparkle and shine, not fade into the background. Love sparkles!

Have a fabulous and sparkling day! Thanks for stopping for stopping by!

XOXO

Designer or Deal Brooch: designer brooch / affordable brooch /

The brooch is back! I am so excited this timeless look is back on the runway and about to return to the streets. The brooch is a beautiful jewelry piece which can be worn on one’s lapel or dress. it instantly dresses up a solid color garment or adds personality to an otherwise conservative look. While wearing a brooch is considered a classic look, they swing in and out of popularity. This year, the brooch was all over the runway, making it very popular and a huge emerging trend. Love that!

You can wear any type of brooch. Some brooches will be fun, such as a bird or fruit, other brooches will be a beautiful, symmetrical or asymmetrical design. You can find brooches with jewels, faux jewels, or in solid metal. The designs are endless.

My favorite brooches are vintage, but I also love costume jewelry versions of the brooch. The classic style shown above can be worn with almost anything and will be easy to wear year after year. The question is, would you perfect the designer version or the more affordable version?

Brooches found around the web:

Which style of brooch do you perfer?

Short sleeves, timeless handbags, looser jeans, investment jewelry and flats are hot right now! In addition, I am excited for a reemerging trend this year!

Every decade or so, the brooch swings into fashion. It was spotted on many runways this past season; signaling a return to the streets this upcoming fall season. I say, why wait! This is an easy trend to rock during any season. If you have any vintage brooches sitting around, wear them! The current look is to wear them on your lapel. When fall rolls around, you can wear them on sweaters too. Love this!
