Read MoreJewelry is the finishing touch that elevates any look, and while we haven’t talked about it in a while, we know you won’t want to miss this season’s chic new styles. Expect to see plenty of pearls, charms, metals, and gemstones—think bold, statement pieces rather than the delicate designs that have been popular in recent years. This year, it’s all about making an impact with your accessories. So, if you’re looking to refresh your jewelry collection, now is the perfect time to embrace bold, eye-catching pieces that make a statement and showcase your unique style.
Read MoreIt’s hard to believe that Spring is around the corner, and with the new season comes fresh new looks. For those of you who watched the Spring fashion shows from NYC, London, Paris, and Milan, we’re positive that you saw this new yet old trend making a resurgence: Fringe. In years past this trend has mostly shown up on fall runways with notes of boho enveloping each style, and while you will still see the nod to boho, fringe for Spring ranges from the minimalistic to full on glam featuring crystals and beads. Here we have taken a minimalist approach to fringe and re-created the look featured in two different ways: with an ivory dress, and with a black dress. The looks come complete with shopable links. Enjoy shopping!
