I Hope You All Didn't Miss Me TOO Much! =)

So orientation at SU was fabulous. I had a lot of fun.

Today's topic is Cute!Fashionable!Affordable! Jewelry! One of my very favorite topics that I could go on and on about!

I really tried to limit myself to one or two pieces per category (earrings, necklaces, bracelets, rings). I only have one pair of earrings here because, let's face it, they're a bit pricey. But this is the most expensive item on the list (promise!), and it's handmade, and they're just so cute! These earrings have a little red flower and a miniature "post card" that says I love you. Just too cute for words. $17.50

Apparently I am in a very playful mood today. This necklace is from Urban Outfitters and it's the "He Loves Me" necklace, as in "He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not". But instead of a daisy you have a necklace with a little spinner! Quite a conversation starter if you ask me! $12.99

While perusing Forever 21, I happened upon this necklace . Brief side note: if you want just one website to go to for cheap and fashionable jewelry, I would suggest Forever 21, hands down! They divide their enormous (!) jewelry collection into necklaces, rings, bracelets and earrings. I had a really hard time picking just one item from them. And while I was looking through the necklaces, I kept seeing all these charms, and I remember thinking, "I wonder if they have a fortune cookie necklace?". And low and behold, they did! Talk about coincidences! $6.90

Gotta admit, not much of a bracelet person. Especially since I moved to Washington, often I am wearing a long sleeved shirt or jacket, and so you can't even see my bracelets. But, I liked these. I like the pink and burgundy color scheme and the fact that it looks a little middle eastern-y or Indian inspired. These are simple, and could go with a lot. $6.99

Ok, bracelets, not my fave. But rings have always been my favorite. (Then it's earrings, and then necklaces.) But I digress. I had this one ring that my parents gave me one Valentine's Day that I wore from 3rd to 8th grade every day. And they gave me this beautiful Quartz and white gold ring that also has small real diamonds on the side for my 18th birthday that I've worn every day since then. I just really love rings, the blingier the better! As you will see by these two rings. They are both from Forever 21. I like that this one is a set, and kinda resembles an engagement set. (Fyi: I am also a little wedding obsessed. I have a favorites folder dedicated to weddings, and InStyle Weddings in my magazine rack. I even bought a replica Jessica Simpson wedding set in the height of her Newlyweds fame, when I was obsessed with that show. I was so angry when it went on sale for $25 and I had paid $50). $5.80

So this ring actually kinda looks like my 18th birthday ring. Except my large quartz stone is more oval than round and there are four diamond specks on each side. But close enough. And muuuccchhh cheaper. $4.80

Thanks for this question, Library daisy ;) ! I hope that somewhat answered it. Also, I just have four words for you : NEW SEASON PROJECT RUNWAY!! (I'd been dying to tell you that since you arrived at work, but we were both so busy. Oh well, there's always tomorrow!)
