Although I have a strand of classic pearls I’m rarely doing my version of the Queen Elizabeth look (yes I mean traditional and formal). But I do love a modern pearl look that is less studied and more well, spontaneous looking. That’s why I am taken with this Aqua Multi Faux Pearl and Ribbon Necklace ($38). It gives me the feeling of haphazard placement and looks like it handle the wear and tear that accompanies a busy life. Plus they may give my Queen Elizabeth a new twist.

Yesterday I started on my jewelry kick and I’ve still got the bug. (A signal that I might want to go shopping in my own jewelry box soon to see what I can rediscover.) In the meantime I happened on this fabulous woven bracelet by Kalo Soma ($144). I love that it’s woven out of leather and has silver grommets circling it at the top and bottom. Perfect for when I want that biker chick vibe.
