Fresh Out Of The Workshop: Black Mamba Necklace

It's here, it's here! Something that I'm very excited to introduce- a mixed media piece born out of our love of crochet work and sparkly details... the Black Mamba Necklace. All of these contrasting materials are working in harmony to create something unique and modern with a boho vibe. Plus the namesake Black Mamba knew how to kick ass and rock black & yellow fashion like no one's business ha!

Now more than ever we are seeing chunky, bold statement necklaces being worn with everything from flannel button downs to v-neck tees, and it only goes to show this style ain't just for evening anymore!  This classic neutral combo of black 'n gold will be a wardrobe staple, and it happens to be a favorite mix of ours. If anyone owns a luxe black leather handbag with gold hardware, then you know exactly what I mean! 

I've been wearing mine on it's own and also layered up with another longer necklace from my collection. I can definitely foresee many different versions of this style in both necklaces and bracelets coming to fruition in the near future...inspiration is a beautiful thing!!!

Daily Outfit: Heavy Metal

i just love chunky jewelry!!

there used to be a time that i would never mix metals.   i am still very conscious of when i do it.  if i have gold studs on my belt, that dictates that my jewelry should all be gold and if the buckles on my shoes are silver, then my other accessories should also be in the silver family.   Crazy? ok, maybe just a little lol but we can't help some of our little idiosyncrasies (notice that the word crazy is kind of in the word idiosyncrasies lol).  as i was saying, there was i time that i would never mix metals BUT, i have given that up loooong ago.  the way i accessorized this outfit is proof!  just look at all the different metals that i have on!  though i am not totally hindered by what metal i have on, i am definitely mindful of making the mix subtle.  it works because it's all spread out so you can't really tell.  everything just flows without competing.  my necklace is definitely the focal point of the outfit (and so is my hot pink tank) with the other metals accessories as accents.  i especially have an affinity for chunky pieces; chunky jewelry makes me feel so rock goddess... not really sure why but, then again, who cares why!!   the goal is to put together a memorable outfit with ease and i think that mission is complete!
