Tiny Dainty Star Necklaces

I’ve really been into tiny dainty things lately, so I’ve been looking for a tiny gold pendant necklace for everyday wear. I found this on a random street while shopping in a no-name little boutique.

When the light hits it at just the right angle, it really sparkles and twinkles. Super cute. I realized why I fell in love with it; I had long eyed the Dogeared Lucky Star Pendant Necklace, which looks very very similar to the one I got.

I loved the meaning behind it too, that it can be your lucky star and bring you good luck when you wear it, so I’ll just super-impose that meaning onto my little star necklace, hehe. The star is really tiny, so from afar it just looks like something is twinkling around your neck, but that’s part of the appeal — it’s meant to be tiny.

Excuse the crappy iPhone pics, but this quick snapshot gives you an idea of how small it is and how it looks when worn. Do you like this type of necklace? You can get the Dogeared Lucky Star Pendant necklace here from Zappos for $58.

J.Crew Pamela Dress in Leavers Lace

I’m obsessed with the J.Crew Pamela Dress in Leavers Lace. The thing with lace is in small doses, it’s totally do-able for daily casual wear. I can imagine a lace skirt paired with a chambray shirt, or a lace top paired with jeans. However, used across an entire dress, lace becomes pretty dressy and dainty.

It takes lace to a whole new level; gorgeous, yes, but I literally have nowhere I can possibly wear this kind of dress to. Do I care? Not really. I love it. I particularly love the top part where the lining stops and the lace becomes just a little bit revealing. It’s sexy in a prim-and-proper way. And yes, this grey is definitely my favorite color, not just because grey is a huge color this season but because it has none of the implications/stigma attached to white or black lace dresses.

J.Crew has seemed to merchandise the Pamela dress as bridesmaid or wedding party dresses, but since I have no idea when I’ll be a bridesmaid or go to another wedding, I’ll have to think of other occasions to wear this to so I can justify buying it. What about you? Where would you wear this dress to? Get yours here for $275 from J.Crew.

Tiffany’s Elsa Peretti Color by the Yard Turquoise Pendant Necklace

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!
