5 Tips to Build a FAB Jewelry Wardrobe.

I recently came across an article in the September issue of People StyleWatch by Ali Galgano. She is the founder of the website, http://www.charmandchain.com
So here goes: (I am para-phrasing here people...:-) ):

* START WITH GOLD EARRINGS:

Ali recommends that we should start off with gold. She thinks that "hoops, chandelier and buttons are timeless styles:. Also gold is making a big comeback on the runway this season. So it is a great way to build your collection and also being trendy. My Stella & Dot recommendations would be the Chantilly Lace Earrings http://stelladot.com/sites/ayisha/productcatalog?page=productdetail&sku=E152G and the Essential Ball Stud earrings in gold http://stelladot.com/sites/ayisha/productcatalog?page=productdetail&sku=E128G.  


* GO FOR A STATEMENT NECKLACE:


It's not like you need a while closet full of these. You can make do with just one. It can really dress up a bland shirt. A colourful one can have a great impact. My favourite from the Stella & Dot Fall 2011 Collection HAS to be the Pegasus http://stelladot.com/sites/ayisha/productcatalog?page=productdetail&sku=N219. And for a more colourful one I am in love with the Contessa Jade, http://stelladot.com/sites/ayisha/productcatalog?page=productdetail&sku=N224

* MIX AND MATCH BRACELETS.

Layering bracelets, need I say more?! Ali recommends to stack up thin bracelets and wide cuffs and so much more for a fun look. http://stelladot.com/sites/ayisha/productcatalog?page=productgroup&productGroupId=83

*COLLECT PERSONAL PIECES

Things that you would wear daily and have some sentimental value. I love to stack my large and growing collection of Pandora bracelets with the stacking bracelets, like The Bardot Spiral Bangle. http://stelladot.com/sites/ayisha/productcatalog?page=productdetail&sku=B101S

* TRY A TREND

Finally, Ali recommends to try some of the must-have looks for Fall which are the 70's inspired long pendants and tassel necklaces. Green is very popular this season and H&M http://www.hm.com/ca/ has some great pieces. I love the Camilla Ring, http://stelladot.com/sites/ayisha/productcatalog?page=productdetail&sku=R113 and how it combines the trends of the 70's and the pop of green!

I would love to hear what you all have to say about this post. I love tips like these, as it isn't implied that you HAVE to buy a certain brand or you have to shop at a certain store. A FABULOUS wardrobe, clothes, jewelry or other things, consists of things that show off YOUR style and you do that by collecting pieces over the years that you cherish.
