My Everyday Accessories

My taste in jewelry has changed so much over the years.  When I was in middle school, I LOVED bracelets.  I definitely went through a phase.  Then I got to high school and it was all about big earrings- dangly, hoops, colorful, you name it!  Nowadays, my style has gotten a lot more minimal, classic, and honestly...kinda boring.  haha  I would love to venture out of my box more, but sometimes I feel like I just can't be bothered by too many accessories.  I know what I like and I'm not making any excuses for it!

All of the things I've included in this post I pretty much wear just about every single day.  I consider them my favorites and part of my wardrobe staples!

The first piece of jewelry I never leave the house without is my wedding ring.


Okay, okay.  I know my ring is big and it's kind of ridiculous.  And I know it looks like Princess Diana's wedding ring. But guess what?  I kind of don't care. :-)  I absolutely love it and it's my most prized possession.  I don't have a ton of valuable jewels (all of the ones I have are thanks to my grandmother tee-hee), so I take special care of this baby and try to be careful with it.  The main stone is a 3 carat blue sapphire and it's surrounded by white sapphires.  The band is made of white gold and it fits my finger perfectly.  The hubby definitely did good.

My next accessory is actually another ring!


This ring is from my grandmother and is originally from Cambodia, my heritage.  The stones are all blue sapphires (clearly it's kind of my thing) and they're set in a 24k gold band.  I wear this ring on my right hand, on the middle finger.  I absolutely love this piece!

Up next, are my earrings!


I have two piercings on both of my ears and I wear these little guys every day.  The one on the left was actually a gift from my husband.  It's a small diamond set in white gold and I wear it on the outer hole.  The one on the right I purchased from American Eagle for like $5 bucks and wear it on the main hole. I feel like these earrings are easy, simple, and classic.  You can never go wrong with some sparkly studs!  You can definitely dress them up or down and they go with everything.

Now, for my absolute favorite accessory (all of these are my favorites, but I REALLY love this), my Michael Kors watch!


I actually don't have the model number, but the band is the classic tortoise shell and then gold hardware.  The face of the watch is surrounded by crystals and gold accents.  I've never been much of a watch girl, but MK watches have been becoming a huge staple all around, and my hubby gifted this to me for our last year's anniversary...AND I LOVE IT!!

And lastly, when I want to add a little something extra to my everyday accessories, I slide on my cranberry-colored Coach bracelet and my champagne colored, beaded bracelet.


The Coach bracelet has gold plated studs all around it and is made of high quality leather.  I've had it for about a year now and it's really held up!  The beaded bracelet belonged to my mother and I love how pretty it is with its simplicity.  The beads are just strung on an elastic band and it fits loosely on my wrist.  I like to wear these two on my left wrist with my watch.

Annnnd that wraps up my favorite accessories blog post!  Let me know what your favorite jewelry pieces are and how you like to incorporate them into your wardrobe!

Love.  Peace  And buttermilk biscuits.
