Sometimes we need to look outside of the Fashion magazines to get a true sense of what we like – whether it is colors or neutrals, I find looking around what I choose for my home is a great way to see what I like and how I can make it work.

Colorblocking Inspiration

It’s easy to think colorblocking wouldn’t work, but sometimes you just need a little inspiration from outside of the fashion world to show you that it does. This is one of 10 paintings my son did last year and I just love the color combinations.

The hottest trend is soft colored denim for Spring and I think this turquoise Stiletto Jean style from Current/Elliott would look amazing with an orange sweater like this dolman sleeve from Vince. Paired back these amazing Delilah Snake Wedges from Alice + Olivia and you are colorblocked in a blink.

Neutral Inspired

If you are sure the bright color with bright color is a look you would love, how about trying a neutral with an accent of  color. Inspiration from your home can be a great place to look for ideas. I love the limey green of these succulents against the grey of the pots.  This dress from Asos is perfect in Navy  with a bright yellow belt and pinstriping details. I’d throw a bright kelly green Alice + Olivia blazer over it too just for some added punch.

Structural Inspiration

So maybe you want to pass on the color options from your home. How about some structural and/or textural inspiration.  This Sea Lavendar hanging in my entry reminds me of a family tree and being a Pisces, I adore underwater plants.

The Alexandria Necklace from Stella & Dot is a great way to way this inpiration.  And best part of it is, you can pair it back to black for a real statement.

Or if you really want to mimic the inspiration, this Stella & Dot Lace Cuff is a ringer – in both black or gold.

Take a look around your home, I bet you will find a little inspiration to get you more creative with fashion this Spring.

If it sparkles and shines.

If it makes you remember something special and smile.

If when you wear it, you feel beautiful. Then it is worth every penny.

It doesn’t matter if you get it as a gift or if you buy it yourself, if a piece of jewelry has even one of these qualities, you know you have to get it.

Jewelry has that affect on me and when I saw the new Spring collection from Stella & Dot, I knew I had to be a part of it.  I hope you will check out my blog frequently to see some new Stella & Dot suggestions mixed into my fashion posts. As you’ll see they fit in nicely with the new Spring Collections! And if you are local and want to host a trunk show, send me a message here and we’ll get it booked.  In the meantime, check out my website for these and more pieces from Stella & Dot.

 

Chantilly Lace Cuff

I know this look is not what you’d expect from me, but the trend for Spring also includes some more delicate pieces, especially with bracelets and layering necklaces. And I intend to start with this Chantilly Lace Cuff with as much excitement as the larger, brighter statement pieces. I’d pair this cuff with a leather tank and white jeans and some tough heels for a night out.  Of course, it would look amazing paired back to my new Jason Wu floral skirt and a Rag & Bone Striped Blazer .

Obsessed doesn’t even begin to describe how I feel about these Serenity Drop Earrings! I love the color, the size and I’m so into Gold for Spring I can’t even tell you. These will be gorgeous with my new designer love, Mary Katrantzou dresses. Or pair them with with Elizabeth and James printed pants, a tank, some sandals, a floppy hat and a bright Tory Burch tote for a day out and about.

In case you are not familiar, click for the history/philosophy of Stella & Dot. I think you will find it speaks to all women, especially you. I hope you enjoy my favorite pieces from the new Spring collection. Add them to your jewelry box now before the sell out.
