[oomph] worthy: metallic tattoos.

with tiny wrists, it's always been a challenge to find a great arm stack. while i have found a few gems throughout the years, i've missed out on popular favorites, like the pave link bracelet, because they were too big. still want that one, tho!

metallic tattoos burst onto the fashion scene recently, and it took me a while to jump on the bandwagon...i mean, temporary tattoos? i like 'em real, haha! but curiosity got the best of me, and i ordered a pack from flash tattoos.

i have been wearing them non-stop. i throw on a few at a time and love the way they have been filling the void in my arm stacks.

some of the tattoos are gold and silver which is a great way to ease into mixing metals. my favorite has been throwing on a few skinny gold and silver bracelets...along with the metallic tattoos, it's almost like having a full stack of bracelets. #winning

it's also great for when i'm running.
um, who wears jewelry when they're exercising? i do. i can still wear jewelry without the jingling and jangling!

have you tried metallic tattoos?

currently craving: statements & boatnecks

last year, i was all about simplifying.

when it came to accessories, i traded chunky for dainty necklaces and rings, and simplified my arm candy. and while i still love dainty pieces, i'm kinda missing those bigger pieces.

in the past couple of weeks, as i've been going through my jewelry, i realized two things:

1) i have a void for big, colorful, bib necklaces...

and

2) i don't have the right necklines to show off those statement pieces...i've acquired a lot of collared shirts over the past year, and i've always preferred v-necks to other necklines. 

i personally like when a statement necklace hangs partly over the neckline of your shirt. compared with crew necks and scoop necks, boatnecks are a nice compromise because it provides enough backdrop for these pieces while still showing some skin.

what are you currently craving?

in this set:

Vero Moda boatneck top, Apiece Apart boat neck long sleeve tee, Lauren Ralph Lauren stripe top, Oasis boatneck top, ONLY long sleeve top, T By Alexander Wang loose shirt, Humble Chic nickel free necklace, Multi strand necklace, Resin jewelry, Pink jewelry, Humble Chic statement necklace, FOSSIL cabochon necklace

offering new goodies every few days.

cute as a button.

last month i introduced you to simoni of simoni textile designs, but i never had a chance to show you these wonderful earrings she sent me. they are handmade, handwoven, and cute as a button. they are made of the most brilliant browns and coppers that will be the perfect complement to many outfits. i've already worn them tons, but it's hard to capture them in outfit photos...

so here's a few close-ups.

for more information on simoni textile designs,

put in a good word.

a while back, i introduced you to JGOOD, a members-only online retailer of designer jewelry sold at up to 70% off retail.

i finally had a chance to place an order and could not be happier. i had several things on my wish, but i finally decided on the forever connected heart ring from their queen of hearts collection. i wanted to try something a bit more dainty compared to the cocktail rings i'm used to wearing, plus this one was gold and silver making it ultra versatile.

two things that i love about JGOOD:

- they stock rings in small sizes (size 5 for me!).

- super fast shipping - i ordered friday,

got the package on tuesday.

membership is free, and you get $5 to spend just for signing up.
