Looks I Love - JewelMint October Picks

Every month JewelMint comes out with their latest jewelry pieces.  I love seeing the new and exciting ideas they've come up with.  Usually I love so many that I can't afford them all.  This month there are some amazing pieces.  It would be easy for me to pick a ton but I decided to show you my four favorites and tell you how I would wear them.

Clockwise from Top Left:  Desert Rose Necklace, Soleil Bracelet, Diving Belle Earrings, Yves Rings

Each piece is truly unique in it's own way. 

Desert Rose Necklace
The necklace can be worn so many ways, long, loose, short and choker. I even see wearing it as a bracelet. The necklace would look great with an evening dress but I can also see it with a loose tee, jeans and a moto jacket.

Soleil Bracelet
This bracelet has a vintage look with the scarb theme. I'm sure I would wear it with my Scarab Ring and it would look fantastic. I picture wearing it with a maxi dress in a great print.

Diving Belle Earrings
These earrings are simple but stunning and a statement piece that could be worn all by themselves. They'd be beautiful worn with an LBD or with a basic white button down.

Yves Rings
The rings can be worn stacked or separately. Mixed metals are a big trend for fall.  I love the idea of wearing them stacked on one finger with multiple necklaces in mixed metals.  I would wear them with my Unlock My Heart Necklace and a slouchy sweater to continue the love locket theme.

Moment of Lust - Vince Metallic Sweaters

Early this season, I published my picks for Spring and Summer. A sheer sweater for layering was on the list and is one of my faves. I'll be taking a few to the beach with me this summer for those cool evenings. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Vince metallic sweaters as a sheer sweater option. Summer sheer and shiny, how could you not love it?

Vince Metallic Sweaters - $320 and $199

With prices (even on sale) starting at $199, I doubt I will own one anytime soon. Of course that means I had to go in search of a budget RGR alternative. I didn't find any exact matches in my search but this option from Alloy is the perfect option for me and at $9.99 is $190 less than the least expensive Vince sweater. SCORE! The loose poncho style sweater top is also a breezy summer option. Throw it over a tank or even a bathing suit and you are ready to go.

Spring Picks for the Budget Girl (part 1)

Can you smell it? That is the smell of smoke coming out of the ears of fashion editors as they list their top picks for Spring. They'll be sure to give you a list of extraordinarily beautiful and outrageously expensive items you can't afford. Or at least most of us can't afford.

I love my family for many reasons but especially because they always supply me with great ideas for posts (thanks Marissa!). Here are my top picks for the warmer months. I'm so excited that it's getting warmer! These items will take you into summer and can be mixed and matched.

In order to prevent this post from becoming a Russian novel, I'm going to split it up. The bold items below are contained in this post. I'll follow up with other posts for the additional items.

1. a solid color flowy maxi skirt
2. wide leg jeans

6. neutrals in pale tans or blushes (pants or skirt)
