faceted quartz earrings from Kendra Scott

If you liked yesterday’s pick for Kendra Scott’s “Statement” necklace, you’ll love her matching set of faceted quartz chandelier earrings too:

Unfortunately, it looks like Nordstrom only has the “Beach” color in stock right now - I’d keep on checking the website to see if the other ones will be brought back :-)

jewelry wardrobe essentials - pearl necklace

Pearls can range from the surprisingly inexpensive (domestic fresh-water pearls) to the my-house-costs-less-than-that necklace category - luckily, there are beautiful necklaces for any budget!
Like the simple chain from yesterday, pearls are quite versatile and can be worn with many different outfits - which is why they’re my third pick for jewelry wardrobe essentials.
$42 for the […]
