During New York Fashion Week, Kendra Scott opened her showroom up to appointments; allowing me to view the current fall 2015 collection. Kendra Scott also displayed the upcoming winter collection which will debut mid-October. (Watch for my coverage of this collection in October!)

Kendra Scott’s fall 2015 collection features variations on her classic collection; as well as new pieces which are sure to become instant classics. Many of the fall pieces are made with white howlite, or black banded agate; which puts an edgy spin on classic black or white. These pieces work well with any color combination; making them versatile and easy to wear this fall season. Love that!

I am in love with the white howlite pieces. I have a pair of earrings, a bracelet, and a necklace from Kendra Scott’s fall 2015 collection which are made from white howlite and set in silver. They work well with my summer into fall wardrobe, and also work perfectly with my fall wardrobe. Since they are white, these pieces will work well in any season.

Many of the pieces from Kendra Scott’s fall 2015 collection work well with pieces from previous seasons. This allows for easy layering.

Kendra Scott fall 2015 also shows mixed metals for the autumn season. Kendra Scott has mixed together silver, rose, gold, yellow gold, and black metals for the fall season. This adds to the versatility of her collection as it can be mixed and matched with almost anything. It also makes her collection easy to travel with. I wore this bracelet set everyday in New York since it matched all my earrings. Loved it!

Here are my favorite pieces from the Kendra Scott’s fall 2015 collection. Stay tuned for her winter collection which I will feature in October!

Last weekend was my last relaxing time before leaving for New York Fashion Week this week. I already had my schedule figured out, travel arrangements nailed down, outfits planned, and the only thing left to do was pack! So to go along with my relaxed vibe, I wore casual outfits such as these boyfriend jeans paired with a beautiful Lotus Leap Bracelet.

Lotus Leap is a fabulous jewelry company based in the South Bay. I love Lotus Leap’s customizable jewelry; and the fact that they are in the Bay Area! Love local designers!

With Lotus Leap, you can pick out the style of bracelet you would like. After choosing a bracelet style, you can choose charms you would like on your bracelet based on color, style, or what speaks to you! Love that!

I love my new Lotus Leap Bracelet. The angel in the middle reminds me of my faith, and the sparkling circles on either side of the angel show my subtle glam side. The color is perfect for fall too. I’m in love!

Lotus Leap Bracelets are affordably priced, and since they are customizable, they will make great gifts this upcoming holiday season. Lotus Leap even has a Christmas Tree charm! How perfect will that be for holiday parties, gifts, and eveything holiday related!

Since the bracelets are adjustable, they can also be designed for young girls. My eleven-year-old daughter has already asked me for one of her own! Perhaps Santa will slip one into her stocking this upcoming Christmas 😉

Lotus Leap Jewelry can be found, and customized, online at LotusLeap.com or at Oakridge Mall in San Jose at a kiosk near the food court.

earring jackets hot jewelry trend fall 2015

Earrings have moved front and center for the fall 2015 season. Gone are the days of the stacked bracelets, aka “arm party;” and while the long necklace is enjoying a moment in the sun, earrings are the hot ticket in jewelry for fall 2015.

In the 1980’s, stud earrings were all the rage. As a part of the stud earring trend, designers added earring jackets to the backs of studs in order to make them more versatile; and give dangle earring fanatics something to wear!

Earring jackets have been crawling back into style over the past few seasons, and designers have taken to the trend, which started on the street, for fall 2015. This is the season of the earring jacket.

Earring jackets for fall 2015 are being shown in short style which hover around 1/4 inch from the bottom of the ear lobe. While some styles offer an inch or more of a drop, the majority of earring jacket styles for fall 2015 are staying close to the ear. I absolutely love this trend. Earring jackets are so easy to wear on a daily basis. I love also love this style since it can be worn day into evening. Versatility = love!

Designer are showing earring jackets in four metal colors for fall including silver, gold, rose gold, and black. Embellishments includes sparkling CZ’s, or similar materials, and imitation gemstones.

Another huge trend in earrings for fall 2015 is the ear crawler. This style has also been around for a few seasons and is enjoying popularity for the fall season. Look for ear crawlers in silver and gold for fall with sparkling embellishments.

If you want to rock the original earring jacket trend from the 1980’s, check out your Mother’s jewelry box for a stray pair or two from the ’80’s. Chances are, she kept a pair! Also, vintage shops should have a few pairs in stock. When shopping for vintage jewelry, make sure the metal-tone has not worn off the edges, and all stones are secure. Also, look for silver stamps or designer markings. This will help you determine the quality.

I found a few fabulous earring jackets, and ear crawlers, around the web for the fall 2015 season and assembled them into the shopping widget below. I hope you love them!

Happy shopping, and stay fabulous 😉
