Gifting with Girl Meets Bow: Gifts that Sparkle

Oh happy day y'all, we're about to talk about one of my favorite things : jewelry! As I've shared with y'all before, in my "day job" I'm a jewelry buyer for a large retail company, so as you can imagine I believe in the power of sparkle and how one necklace (or earring, or bracelet) can change your whole look!

Now normally I pick up new baubles all on my own, but the holiday season is also the perfect time to give a gift of that will make your bestie, mom, sister, and friends shine! I'm sharing a few of my go-to pieces today: classic pearls, my monogrammed necklace, shimmering hoops, & a gemstone ring. All of these are on heavy rotation in my wardrobe but also make a perfect gift to give. Scroll to the bottom of this post to see my round-up of the best jewelry pieces to give (and receive)! :)

Click here to visit my TRUNK SHOW!

So I'm almost embarrassed to admit that last month I received my first ever piece from Stella and Dot (hangs head in shame); but y'all in my defense, I had no idea how much I was going to love it! Everything from the shipping speed (3 days!!), so the adorable packaging, to the quality was outstanding; you can most definitely call me a fan girl now! So imagine my delight when my gal pal, Mandy, asked me to host a trunk show and share my newfound love for Stella and Dot! Count me in y'all! Check out all my favorite below and let me know what you love :)

Now Trending: Delicate Jewelry

There has been a not-so-subtle trend in jewelry as of late, and that has been a shift from large, statement jewelry to delicate jewelry. Now, I love the loud & proud look of my favorite statement necklaces, but there is something so gentle and feminine about these delicate looks that I can't deny my love for! Especially in the summer when I'm wearing such loud prints and it's so hot and sticky (#thanksFlorida), these delicate pieces are going to be a wardrobe lifesaver!

Shop some of my favorites below (just click on an image to go straight to the retailer):

So, what do you think of the delicate jewelry trend? Are you loving it?!

Put a Ring on It

In the past year I have really learned the power of a statement-making cocktail ring. There is nothing that gives me more pizzaz than wearing a ring that sparks conversation. I pulled a few favorites below, and what do you know? They are all colors of the beach! (Being a nautical lover why am I even surprised at myself?!) I definitely see myself frolicking in the sand in these beauties!

Are you a fan of cocktail rings?

Make a Statement

For me, nothing completes an outfit more perfectly than a FABULOUS statement necklace! Even on those days where you don't want to get dressed, when you throw on jean + a tee + a standout necklace you look like you tried (even when you don't want to)!

Great jewelry isn't just for a night out anymore, these fab pieces below will get you noticed in the office (so chic with a LBD) and out with your girlfriends at the bar!
