Style Spotlight: dainty rings

Dainty rings that make the most of minimalist style

My favorite accessories seem to change weekly (remember when I was all about the ear candy?). I tend to go through phases where I only want to wear statement necklaces, or I only want to wear bracelets — whatever it may be at the time. One accessory trend I've been crushing on for a while, though, is dainty rings. I absolutely cannot get enough of these chic, effortless and classic pieces.

I bought this one and this one back when Shopbop was having a big spring sale, and I've been wearing them almost every day since. They've taken the place of my favorite statement rings and instantly found their way to the top of my favorites list. I love how they look classy and minimal, but they still reflect my personal style. Every time I wear them my hand feels instantly dressed up. I personally love the rings from Shopbop and Nordstrom because they're high-quality and affordable. But if you're in the market to spend a little more, Zoe Chicco has beautiful higher-end rings.

What are your favorite accessories right now? How do you feel about the dainty ring trend? Where is your favorite spot to shop for jewelry?

P.S. playing it by ear, statement necklaces and spring-time shopping

Beautiful iPhone cases from Scarlet & Gold




I've been loving bright, tropical prints lately, and pineapples are my latest obsession in fashion. It seems crazy — I've never had the desire to have pineapples printed on my clothes before. But now I see them on everything in every store and I love it! Especially this pineapple iPhone case from Scarlet & Gold.

I recently came across this shop on Instagram, and it has such gorgeous prints and phone cases. I've always loved fashionable phone cases, but had a hard time finding ones that looked great and still kept my phone safe — after all, if I'm spending hundreds on a phone, my No. 1 priority is not breaking it.

So when I saw these at Scarlet & Gold, I instantly fell in love. Not only are the designs absolutely gorgeous, but they also come with silicone inserts to protect them against falls. I'm eyeing the pineapple print (obvs), the tiger lilly and the beige dipped with the geometric print. How will I ever decide?!

Which case is your favorite?

Playing it by ear




Let's take a minute to talk about accessories today. When it comes to fashion, my favorite accessories tend to come in phases. Last year it was scarves, in the summer it was rings. Lately I've been really into earrings, and I think it's because there are so many different styles out right now than what I'd seen in previous years. Now there are ear jackets, crawlers and front and back studs. (A new one that I haven't tried yet: suspenders — would you wear them?)
