Statement Rings

Queen Bee — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 04:26:58 +0000

Nothing says wow like a fabulous statement ring. Sure, you can spend hundreds, even thousands, on a sparkly piece, but who needs real diamonds in high school and college? Costume jewelry rings work just fine and they will only cost you about $20!

Even upscale places like Nordstrom have a selection of costume rings from $12 on up.

Teal Love

Queen Bee — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 15:22:06 +0000

Teal and similar shades of blue aren’t necessarily a Fall color, but they’re perfect for Fall because they fit so well with browns, oranges, and yellows. Their bright, vibrant nature are a nice contrast to the dark warm colors of Fall.

Even small accents like shoes or earrings add a nice touch.

A Taste of Mango

Queen Bee — Fri, 29 Jul 2011 04:53:14 +0000

Mango was one of my favorite stores to shop at during my Junior year abroad in France. Since then, they’ve opened an online store for us Yankies so we can order their fab clothes here in the US. They recently released their Fall 2011 collection and, trust me, it doesn’t disappoint!

Thick jackets, warm tones, and layered tops seem to be the trend.

Harry Potter Style

Queen Bee — Fri, 15 Jul 2011 07:14:51 +0000

Who made it to the midnight showing of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows- Part 2 last night? A-mazing! And sad too. I can’t believe it’s over forever!

If you didn’t see it yet, don’t worry. I won’t be sharing any spoilers in this post, but I do have Harry Potter on my mind. Hence, a Gryffindor inspired outfit that is stylish, yet functional enough to fight He Who Must Not Be Named.

Those Summer Nights

Queen Bee — Sat, 09 Jul 2011 04:05:40 +0000

It’s Saturday! Who’s going out tonight? Hopefully, you’re in a nice sunny area where you can get all glamed up for the night. Nothing is more fun than going out in a cute dress with your girls that a special someone.

Nautical Nonsense

Queen Bee — Thu, 21 Apr 2011 04:51:07 +0000

You are never too old to play dress up. Sure, we can’t wear a Cinderella dress on a random weekday, but there are some themes that work well for everyday wear. One theme I love is nautical. It is simple, playful, and easy to put together.

All you really need is a combination of blue, white, and red, finished off with the right accessories.

Charm-ing Rings

Queen Bee — Thu, 14 Apr 2011 04:53:45 +0000

Charm rings, sometimes called 3d rings, are a fun new take on a staple accessory. Granted, you have to be careful not to poke your eye out, but their recontoured shape makes a simple little ring much more prominent on your hand.

Here are a few I found around the web.

Floral Touches

Queen Bee — Mon, 28 Mar 2011 04:35:25 +0000

Warm weather means we are wearing less and showing more skin. I’m not talking about bikini season or anything. I just mean lower necklines, higher hemlines, and spaghetti straps. With all that extra canvas space, we have more room to decorate with some fun jewelry! Here are some spring inspired pieces I thought you might enjoy.

Going Gold for Prom

Queen Bee — Thu, 10 Mar 2011 04:52:54 +0000

Jewelry is the icing on the cake and adds the finishing touches to your prom look. It’s also a great investment because you can wear it to other events throughout your life. Really, you can never go wrong adding some cute gold jewelry to your collection.

From shopnbc.com

It doesn’t have to cost a fortune either. All these pieces are less than $150 at ShopNBC.

From shopnbc.com

If you aren’t a fan of traditional gold, you can always go for white gold pieces like these. White gold is a little more subtle and allows the focus to be on the gem, pearl, or other embellishment.

New Rings!

Art Decadence — Wed, 16 Feb 2011 04:42:10 +0000

So I’ve recently turned into a complete ring-freak. I think I always have been, but I’ve only recently had the money to do anything about it! I am head over heels in love with my two newest purchases, both from ASOS.

You can get the cocktail ring here and the book ring here. The book one also works as a locket that you can open out – cool, right?!
