Wednesday Wants: Work Appropriate Spring Jewelry

Rose Gold Wrap Ring // Marble Look Drop Earrings // Marbled Square Earrings // Spike Necklace // Rose Gold Watch // Purple Crystal Ring

I've been wanting to update my jewelry collection lately. I love jewelry because it is one way you can add individuality to your style when you work in a corporate/professional setting. That being said, I do try to stick to less assuming pieces that don't draw too much attention.

For this spring I am definitely loving/wanting marble & rose gold as well as focusing on rings with unique shapes or gems. What jewelry trends do you want to add to your work wardrobe?


My crazy few weeks of work is finally starting to wind down (it becomes much less busy after Friday) so I am excited to spend more time reading, going to the beach & working on blog posts! Just a heads up - this week I will be deviating slightly from my posting schedule and instead of posting on Friday, I will be posting on Saturday. I promise it's worth the wait though and I can't wait to share the post with you!

Top 5 Jewelry Trends for 2016 (plus a 15% off deal!)

This week I've been focusing a lot on jewelry, which had me thinking about the trends in jewelry this year. As such, I decided that for today's post I would provide a list of the top 5 trends in jewelry for 2016! Be sure to scroll through my favorite 'picks' for each trend, and you'll see a discount for 15% off some items!

Top 5 Jewelry Trends for 2016

1. Statement Earrings:  

Statement Earrings were all the rage at New York Fashion Week this year. Everyone from Dolce & Gabbana, to Oscar De La Renta, to Gucci used statement earrings to complete their Spring/Summer looks.

Some of my favorite statement earrings available right now are:

One // Two // Three // Four // Five // Six

2. Chokers:  

It is no secret that the 90's have been back in style for some time now. This year, the 90's trend is extending into accessories, with chokers and amulet style necklaces making a big comeback. The 2016 chokers and amulets are all about the material - be that silks, or heavy metals. Below are my favorites:

One // Two // Three // Four // Five // Six

 3. Body Chains:

These have been in style for the past year or so, but only now are they making an appearance as something to be worn not just to the beach or to a night club. The materials are also getting thicker and more bold - a far cry from the delicate gold chains we saw everywhere last summer. Below are my top picks:

One // Two // Three // Four

4. Anklets:

Again with the 90's! I think this may be the trend I most excited about for this spring/summer. I loved wearing anklets in the 90's and feel nostalgic just thinking about getting to wear them again. Though I do think this time my choices will have less "ying-yangs" and half heart "BFF" charms haha. Below are my favorites:

One // Two // Three // Four // Five // Six

5. Brooches:  
I also really love this trend. Brooches always make me think of grace & class. I love that what has been seen as a 'grandma trend' is back in style. I will definitely be sporting brooches on my work looks this year. Below are my favorite brooches:

 One // Two  // Three // Four // Five // Six

I hope you all have a great weekend ahead! In sticking with the simplicity theme thats been guiding my fashion choices lately, I'm going to try to have a relaxing weekend (a rarity for me). I hope to catch up on some work and start reading

a book I've been dying to read - A Discovery of Witches. Anyone read it?! What did you think?

See you all back here on Monday for another outfit post! In the meantime, be sure to follow me on instagram, twitter & bloglovin!
