I feel naked without earrings. I always have a necklace on, and at least two bracelets. I wear at minimum three rings every day. Needless to say, I’m a jewelry aficionado. So there are certain online retailers I like to turn to for all of my frosting needs…

Charm Bracelets // Alex & Ani
Like I haven’t shared my love for this eco-friendly positive energy brand already. See here // here // here and check out all of their Charity by Design products!

Body Jewelry // Fresh Trends
I know, I’m so wild + crazy with my cartilage and second hole piercings. But you do have to be careful with such piercings, especially me with my sensitive skin, and they have and endless supply of safe pieces to choose from– love this bow, leaf, and white gold stud especially!

Arm Party Pieces // Bfrend
I would be more than content if I could stack my arm in a handful of these fun + bright pieces everyday designed by The Doctor’s Closet blogger Monika Hibbs.

Monogram Jewelry // Dixieland Monogram
The little prepster in me can’t stop wishing for some monogrammed necklaces + bracelets!

Any + Everything Else // BaubleBar
BaubleBar is beyond on top of all of the major trends in fashion jewelry, and their affordable pricing is seriously addictive.

Pink Lemonade

I’m a little in love with today’s Friday’s Francies theme: favorite summer refreshments. It doesn’t look much like summer on this icky rainy day, but that doesn’t keep me from craving popsicles, refrigerator pies, watermelon, and my favorite summer treat: pink lemonade!

Happy Thursday cuties! I need to share with you the sweetest new jewelry I’ve found online lately…

After seeing this post from Glitter & Pearls, I became obsessed with finding a starfish cuff to finish off summer with. I love this one from Anthropologie but it’s oh, you know, only 200 wallet-burnin’ bucks. But then I saw this post from stripes & sequins and found one I liked even more at BaubleBar!

This has got to be my new favorite online jewelry retailer. Not only are the prices way fair, but the package also arrived with a hand-written note from owners Amy and Daniella! Now really, how often do you see that anymore? Will definitely be buying from them again- if not for their jewelry for their amazing customer service! (But definitely for their jewelry…)

I’m also in love with my new rosette necklace from Etsy member the sweet shoppe:

I’ve been at Etsy fan forever, but usually I just browse. This summer was the first time I ever purchased anything. The last two products I bought from Etsy sellers took forever to arrive, but my necklace arrived so quickly and I couldn’t be happier with it! Plus, Suzy is offering a deluxe set right now: choose any ring, necklace, and earrings for $35! You can’t beat that, so please take advantage of it for me!

Do you have any online jewelry retailers you always turn to? Or any other good Etsy shops to recommend?
