Kendra Scott’s winter 2016 collection “Mirror Mirror” is here! I am so excited about this jewelry collection. I was able to view it before it hit store shelves when I visited Kendra Scott’s showroom in New York during fashion week. It is so beautiful, I am so glad it is here to share!

The collection combines an ethereal vibe with an edgy flair, which translates into a fashion-forward, yet timeless, collection. Love that!

The Mirror Mirror collection offers a little something for everyone this winter season. There are delicate pieces in opals, iridescent pastels, and neutral druzy’s; as well as seasonless gold, silver, and rose gold. There are delicate pieces, chunky pieces, and pieces begging to be layered.

In addition to stand-alone pieces, Kendra Scott winter 2016 offers sets. These sets come in stackable rings, and small stud earrings. They are both perfect for the new trend towards layering rings, and layering earrings.

I am in love with the stud earring sets! As a GenXer, I still have my double piercings in my ears from the late 80’s, early 90’s. I took the earrings out of my second holes when I worked in the financial district in the mid to late 90’s, and having multiple earrings in one’s ear was against dress code. Ha! Remember office dress codes? I  used to wear a suit everyday! But I digress. . .

The stacked earring trend is back. It can be worn with multiple piercings in one’s ear, or it can be worn with ear crawlers, and ear cuffs. You don’t need all those holes anymore! Of course, since I have them. . .I am eyeing Kendra Scott’s new stud earring sets for winter 2016 because they are perfect for layering! I would love to wear them in my second holes.

I have already indulged in a few pieces from Kendra Scott’s winter 2016 collection, “Mirror Mirror.” I have more pieces on my wish list! Good thing Christmas is coming up, maybe Santa will bring them? A girl can wish right?

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 😉

After previewing Kendra Scott’s spring and summer collections during New York Fashion Week in February, I got very excited for the launch of both collections. The spring collection, “Avant Garden,” was absolutely divine, with seasonal, vivid pastels, and feminine flair. The summer 2015 collection, “Via Maya,” offers a completely different vibe; with bright colors to celebrate the hot weather season.

The summer 2015 collection “Via Maya” takes its’ inspiration from the Mayan culture. The triangular designs and details are inspired by Mayan ruins with bright, hot weather colors to match the climate where the Mayans once lived. Kendra Scott is showing layered statement necklaces, sunburst designs, and color combinations which will turn heads and capture the hearts of jewelry aficionados everywhere. Love that!

I have my eyes on several pieces from Kendra Scott’s summer 2015 “Via Maya” collection. I love the designs and colors! I curated my favorites from Kendra Scott’s summer 2015 collection and placed them into the shopping widget below. I hope you love them, I sure do! Happy shopping, and stay fabulous 😉
