Coming up roses

If you know me, you may be aware of my love affair with roses. I love rose fragrances and love rose adornments even more. Whether a romantic pink or a lush crimson, you can never go wrong with roses.

In the last few years, the average number of roses sold in America is about 1.2 billion wich relays, per capita, 4.67 roses per person.

The products below are items I've used and love -Moroccan Rose Eau De Toilette, Rosebud Salve- or items I've seen and fallen for -the Valentino wallet-

The rose ring is the steal of the day for only $4.80 at Forever 21

Steal it

The first of many daily Steals to come.

A fantastic statement necklace for $17.50 from Forever 21




Gaila Floral Bib Necklace

Tip: When it comes to budget friendly trendy jewelry, the bane of my existence is a piece that tarnishes after one wear making the low price immediately reflect poor quality. One thing I've learned is to coat the "golden," and "silver," pieces with a thin layer of nail polish top coat. Most importantly, coat the area of the piece that makes the most contact with your skin that is most prone to wearing away the finish

How I would style it: Two great ways that I love to see a statement necklace styled are both minimalistic yet edgy. Combine the piece with a nude colored cashmere pull-over and distressed jeans or liquid leggings. Another great way is a simple t-shirt dress in heather gray or light brown, bare legs and a platform bootie.
