The jewellery that I never take off…

I’ve always loved jewellery, but in the past year or two I’ve really honed in on my style, my everyday favourites and the items that I never take off. They are outfit makers, polishers even and they have the ability to put balance back into a look that just feels a bit off. I’ve realised that for me I like to blend chunkier, sculptural pieces with everyday lighter pieces, along with things like my rings and bracelets that stay put no matter what. So here’s what my jewellery wardrobe looks like…

NECKLACES

I own a few more necklaces than I’ll mention here, but really at the moment I’m switching between just two. I’m either wearing the Mejuri Curb Chain Necklace* (ad – gifted) – which I’d say is probably my top jewellery pick of the bunch – or the Lie Studios Elly Necklace*. Both are complete opposite ends of the spectrum and add a slightly different flavour to whatever outfit I’m wearing. The Mejuri I leave on, until I swap it out for the Lie Studios as that’s more of a daytime-only costume piece. But really there isn’t much decision making that goes on here – it’s either one or the other.

EARRINGS

Ok here’s where I play a bit. I’ll start with the simple one first. My everyday earring is a style from Mejuri which are now discontinued but are most similar to their Easy Medium Hoops*. Just a simple hoop, nothing crazy but I can sleep and shower in them and only ever take them out to swap them for something bolder. I just bought the Mejuri Sculptural Hoops* and they are truly beautiful – these two together would be the perfect dainty/bold earring capsule. Most of the bolder earrings that I wear though are from Lie Studios and I mostly switch between their drop-earring style, the Julie* or their extra large Camille Studs* (ad – gifted). You would have seen me wear both of these styles multiple times as it’s what I use most mornings to add polish to my outfit.

BRACELETS

I don’t really mix up my bracelets, mainly because my Apple Watch takes up most of the real estate on my wrist. So I just wear my Mejuri Round Box Chain Bracelet* (ad – gifted), with their Timepiece Bracelet* (ad – gifted). The latter is a little chunkier and the former daintier and I never take them off, only ever swapping them out if I’m at an event and want to leave my wrists bare. One day I’d love to add the Lie Studios Elly Bracelet* to my collection – it’s on my shopping list!

RINGS

I almost forgot to add this section in! I NEVER take these off, so they don’t register in a way. They are just part of me – literally – some I can’t remove! My engagement ring and wedding ring were from a local shop in Brighton (I think we got engaged almost nine years ago now and I STILL love my ring, so simple – Mark did so well!). Then on my index finger on my left hand I wear a very, very old black gemstone ring that Mejuri don’t even make anymore (the Solo Diamond Ring* is similar), with their Diamonds Line Ring* (ad – gifted) stacked. On my right index finger I wear the Mejuri Twist Ring* (ad – gifted) that I’ve owned for YEARS, on my middle finger their 2mm Smooth Band* and on my ring finger on my right a Claire Kinder ring that I picked up when we went to visit Shop Anomie in San Francisco.

SHOP THE POST

Kids

Fall is special for both adults and children because of Halloween. Children love to dress up on the holiday itself. However, you can celebrate this haunting occasion all through the month of October. You can find on-demand printing sites on the internet where you can make your very own Halloween shirt.

Your shirt can feature a picture of your kid in their Halloween costume or an image of a favorite pet dressed in theirs. Your shirt can pay tribute to a scary movie or your favorite holiday cartoon. All you have to do is upload an image to the on-demand printer’s website, and they will put it on the article of clothing of your choice. You can get custom hoodies here.

If you have kids that love to accessorize, you can make backpacks, socks, and tote bags on these sites as well. If your kid gets a lot of compliments on their bling, you can even sell those items to other people through the on-demand printer.

Women

Fall fashions for 2022 are all about comfort this year, making them perfect for the average person. Oversized clothing is back. Department stores are stalking up on large bomber jackets, oversized metallic sweaters, and baggy jeans. You will see a lot of floor-length skirts in the office this Fall. Many designers have included maxi dresses in their Autumn lines.

Multi-colored sweaters are also coming back into fashion this year. You will see them in every style, from cardigans to pullovers.

If you want to find a cheap fall fashion accessory or two, you can get fun Halloween and Thanksgiving-themed socks and PJs at any discount store.

Men

Designers of men’s fashion are going for an 80s retro look. Not only is the bomber jacket coming back, but varsity-style jackets are trending as well. You will see turtle necks paired with dockers and loafers for a traditional preppy look. If you can’t afford to get the designer version of these items, you will find plenty of knock-offs at your local Walmart or Target store.

You will see more raw denim in stores than in previous years. Raw denim is stiffer than denim that has been treated. It looks more natural when it begins to fade. There is a better color contrast between areas of the jeans that have faded and those that have not.

Raw denim will eventually fit the wearer’s body, and the rips and fades will be unique. Designers such as Roy charge a good price for these jeans, but they will last forever, and they will be uniquely your own.

Autumn is a season of transitions. Adding a few new items to your wardrobe gives you a chance to express yourself and rejuvenate for the year to come.
