Delicate, uber feminine jewelry pieces are so on trend right now, and I’m definitely jumping on the bandwagon. It’s ironic that previous to this trend, I was definitely aboard the statement jewelry train; I loved huge, in-your-face cocktail rings and bold statement necklaces. I suppose there’s still a time and place for those,  but for chic everyday pieces, I’m turning to dainty jewelry like the Tiffany’s Elsa Peretti Color by the Yard Turquoise pendant necklace.

Measuring only 16″ long in length, this necklace is meant to hang either right between your collarbones or right below it. It’s a great everyday signature piece, rather than a look-at-me piece. However, what I love most about it is that despite its demure stature, that classic Tiffany’s blue just pops and oozes Tiffany’s charm, attracting admiration without you even trying!

If you love this as much as I do, you can get it here from Tiffany’s site here for just $250.

So a while ago, I let on that I was officially obsessed with monograms, especially the Max & Chloe Monogram Necklace. I had seen it on a few bloggers and loved that it was not only a piece with a design that’s unique to you, but also that it’s a very delicate, feminine necklace that can be a signature piece you wear daily. I finally pulled the trigger and ordered mine.

I got the Medium size monogram, as it seemed like the perfect size not to be “too” statement-y and therefore too large to wear daily, and it wasn’t so small that it was barely noticeable. I also debated on what length necklace to get. I wanted it to fall at the perfect place, right below my collarbones. Nothing more awkward than a necklace that’s too short or one that’s too long that it no longer looks dainty.

I ended up getting the 20″ length, even though 16″ and 18″ were the same, lower price. I had seen various lengths on other people and they all fell at different places, so I worried if I made the right choice. I figured, better to be a little too long than too short.

Ultimately, I think it was the right choice. It looks right, but I think I could’ve gone 2 inches shorter to the 18″ and it would have been right below the collarbone instead of this far below it. I also worried a lot about my actual initials and whether they’d look good in a monogram of this style, since two of my three initials (RHT) have zero curves; I couldn’t imagine how they’d handle that and make it look round and pretty like all the other monograms I’ve seen. Luckily, they clearly know their craft and did a great job. Overall, I couldn’t have asked for a better monogram necklace, and this is definitely my new favorite necklace. The workmanship and customer service from Max & Chloe were all spot on. Get yours here from Max & Chloe for $105.

Did you know the popular Madewell Transport Tote has a mini version? Wha? I may be the last person to know, but better late than never.

Honestly after all that turmoil months ago trying to find the perfect Madewell Transport Tote (*cough* inconsistent quality control), it’s now one of my favorite bags. The leather is really amazing and sturdy, and I’m seeing it age quite beautifully before my eyes. One thing I don’t like about it, which is a quality true of all big tote bags, is that it’s rather large and not practical if all I want to carry out today are some essentials. Enter the Mini Transport Tote.

Not only is it the perfect size to carry out your essentials and plus any unexpected items (i.e. a cardigan in case it gets chilly, maybe an umbrella, etc.), it comes with a crossbody strap to make carrying the bag really effortless. It’s also just stinking cute.

If you haven’t gotten your hands on this yet, you can do so here at just $105 (on sale!!) from Shopbop.
