    Skinny Stackable Bracelets For Summer!

    I recently went for a browse at the Swarovski store and found that they had a great selection of bracelets that made me feel like I was visiting Japan. They were sooo adorably cute, it was hard for me to pick just one. I ended up deciding on the gold crystal-encrusted Green Bracelet ($125) because I just loved the little trees sparking in pink and purple and the reversible pink shiny epoxy on the other side. What's great about it too is that it's thin and dainty enough to wear with other bracelets and jewelry without having that piled on look. I love the idea of wearing a few different kinds of skinny bracelets all together to make up your own look! For other ideas, I also love the Euphoria Golden Shadow Bracelet, also from Swarovski, and the Lotus Bracelet from Nordstrom for a similar delicate look sans the bling. Check out the Coquette blog for more adorably chic trends for summer!

    Over 7,000 years ago, our ancient ancestors in Egypt and Africa began making bracelets out of wood, stone, plants, and yes, even bone. Today, bracelets are the second most-popular jewelry item, right behind earrings. Whether you like 'em dainty or gargantuan, fancy or organic, signed or homemade, classic or mod--there is definitely a vintage bracelet out there in your price range. And don't be a label snob when you're shopping, since many designers never signed their jewelry. Bracelets are also an excellent way to exercise your style muscle. If you're the classic, conservative type, break out of your mold with a mod geometric piece. If you live on the fashion edge, try something more dainty and feminine just for kicks. Here's a collection of different vintage styles to inspire you. Just click the slideshow to see them.

    Stock Up On Tarina Tarantino's City Girls Collection ...

    Jewelry is a girl's best friend. With that in mind, I have completely indulged in Tarina Tarantino's "City Girls" collection. This summer, the L.A.-based accessories and jewelry designer introduces her new collection. Inspired by her favorite cities around the world, Tarina has created an iconic girl who represents the essence of the city and the chic women who live there. The first to launch is Los Angeles, Tarina's favorite city in the world and the place she calls home, and they're now available at Karmaloop.com. The L.A. City Girl grew up on the east side, shops on Melrose and hangs out in Hollywood. Taking inspiration from all over the City of Angels, this girl wears a thick sleeve of LA tattoos up along her arm. Sugar skulls from the day of the dead celebration on Olvera Street appear on new stones, while the roses from Pasadena highlight necklaces and earrings. The muted palate of grays, gold, silver, black and white from old Hollywood films all inspire the colors and Swarovski crystals used in this collection. Tarina's collection is baroque, ornate and full of special details, reflecting her famous sparkling and colorful creations. My favorite pieces are the long multibead locket necklace in gold, the cast metal hollowpoint bullet bead necklace in gold and the metallic bead and crystal stretch bracelet. Check out the rest of the collection at Karmaloop.com.

    How To Make A Bangle From A Vintage Map

    Danielle West is a contributing member of CraftStylish, a site dedicated to do-it-yourself art and design projects. Below she shares a how-to on turning recycled maps and photos into a chic jewelry piece (and a wearable souvenir from your travels)!


    I absolutely love the look of images from old encyclopedias-- with a special weakness in my heart for old maps. I love everything about them-- the colors, the font, the bordering-- they're just perfect! These bracelets are rad to commemorate a meaningful location, to celebrate a faraway hometown, or for the restless traveler who is always wistfully thinking about elsewhere. The way I do this may seem a little daunting, but it's actually quite easy once you get into it. You need to cut the paper into strips or else they won't lie flat on the domed surface of the bangle. This leaves a little overlap near the edges, which we like to refer to as "that handmade character." First off, you'll need: a vintage map, a blank bangle (I get mine from diybangles.com, all sorts of shapes and sizes!), scissors, a foam brush, glue, a ruler, and some clear protective coating.

    Have you ever spent way too much time planning out the day's ensemble the night before, only to put it on the next morning and realize it looks significantly more "blah" on you than it did in your head? No matter how many layers, mixing-and-matching, and pops of color you might have tried to incorporate, something just seems to be missing. Don't fret, dear stylistas; as usual, Stylehive's Stylescopes are here to fix your fashion woes and provide you with stellar style advice that is sure to help you get through the week! A boringly bare outfit usually just needs a little glamming or glitzing up by means of jewelry -- a pendant necklace to keep a naked collar company, a dangly pair of earrings to keep the attention on your pretty face, some bangles to add a dash of flash to your wrists -- the possibilities are practically endless! The heavens forbid, however, that you go overboard with the bling, so make sure you choose your ornaments wisely... and that's where the stars come in! Aries girls can call on some old Hollywood glamor with an updated pearl necklace for some added classy flair to a seemingly everyday outfit, and Capricorns will show they mean business with a pair of gold coin earrings, just for example! Take a look at the slideshow to see what type of jewelry can help you adorn yourself appropriately for the week ahead!
