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?

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 😉

I have always been a huge fan of jewelry. I love adding a bold necklace to an outfit, or lighting up my face with a pair of dazzling earrings. When springtime hits, I love wearing bracelets to dress up my arms when I wear short sleeves, 3/4 sleeves, and sleeveless styles. So, when Rocksbox contacted me to collaborate, I was thrilled!

Rocksbox is a fabulous jewelry subscription service which allows you the opportunity to rent on-trend baubles by today’s hottest jewelry designers. Rocksbox offers jewelry for rent, and purchase, by designers such as Margaret Elizabeth ( a Bay Area designer!), Kendra Scott, Gorjana, and more!

My first Rocksbox arrived quickly, and the packaging was so cute! Each piece of jewelry was carefully wrapped in bubble wrap; so it was able to travel safely to my home. Love that! There was an easy to use return label inside the box, and return packaging inside the original package. This will make it easy to return the box filled with jewels at the end of the month. I love things which are easy 😉

If you love the pieces sent inside your Rocksbox, you have the option to purchase them at a discounted rate. I am thrilled with this feature since I tend to get attached to baubles!

Rocksbox has an easy to use website which allows you to create a wish list filled with the jewels you are interested in testing out.. This is a great way to try different styles of jewelry before committing to buy. Love that! The necklace in my Rocksbox was on my wish list. I was excited to receive a wish list item so quickly. I cannot wait to style it with my spring wardrobe!

Stay tuned, I will be styling my Rocksbox pieces with a few of my spring outfits.
