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.

Stella McCartney Chain-detail Hobo

Meeting the hard-edged trend of this past season and of the current, this faux-leather hobo manages to combine a trendy bag with one of longevity.
Stella McCartney, known for her animal-friendly fashion, attempts making man-made leather into a luxe accessory.
Includes a matching detachable zippered pouch.
My personal take on this piece isn't sending me running to pick one up.
To me, nothing feels better than a butter soft leather bag with that gorgeous smell of cow-hyde.

How I would style it:
Pair it with a tissue-thin white t-shirt tucked into skin tight distressed jeans. Arm load of rock'n'roll bracelets and a fist full of mismatched rings and a staggering leather ankle boot.
