Spring 2014 Jewelry Trends

It's no secret that we're all about statement jewelry. Chunky cuff bracelets, bold necklaces, large cocktail rings, and over-sized earrings were all over the runway during Spring 2014 shows. Gold and silver, pops of color alike, we noticed an interesting change in necklace lengths. The key trend this spring is to go shorter. Chokers and necklaces that fall right above or below your collar bone was a huge stand out among designers like Balmain and Saint Laurent. If you can't afford to dish out a generous chunk of cash to nab yourself a designer piece, there are plenty of options to suit every kind of budget. Start by shopping our statement necklaces and cuffs and if you still haven't found a piece, check your local mall. We're sure you'll have no problem finding a chunky piece of jewelry this season.

On Friday, We Braid

Creating a new look can be a complicated task. Switching up your hairstyle is one of the quickest ways to give yourself a new look. The braiding craze is popular as ever, probably due to the lack of time it takes to pull off and the effortless chic vibe that comes along with it. What we love is that it works for long and short hair and is easy to do yourself from home. We put together some of our favorite looks to give you some weekend braiding inspiration.

Check out the Braid Bar to find a professional braiding location near you or just head to your local salon if you're not the "do it yourself" type of girl.

Happy braiding!
