If you read my blog on regular basis, you probably already know that I am a big believer in the importance of accessories! Aside from their ability to essentially define a look, for me, the right accessory or accessories can transform an ordinary outfit into an extraordinary one, and the one accessory that plays the most important part in this transformation, is jewelry. Why do I think that jewelry plays such an important part? Well…, mainly because I think that more than any other accessory, jewelry defines the feel of an outfit, but also creates that perfect finishing touch that gives an ensemble polish and sophistication.

Take today’s look for example, though when it comes to day wear my motto is: the more  – the merrier, for evening, I prefer a cleaner, less congested look. So, I often opt for a single statement piece ( or in this case two ), like a bracelet or ring.

I’ve discovered LAGOS jewelry a little over two years ago, and my collection just keeps on expanding. Aside from the fact that they are the quintessential layering pieces thanks to a variety of textures, shapes, colors and sizes, I am always a little more than partial to jewels that are feminine, modern and polished, and combine both glamour and edge. Perfect for day or night, I love the look and feel of a few stacked bracelets and rings with jeans and chunky knit for day, yet appreciate the statement-making power of a single piece ( like a bracelet or ring for example ) when paired with a glamorous evening gown or cocktail dress.

The pieces I am wearing in today’s post are a fairly recent addition and current obsession. I picked up these pretty jewels on a recent trip to Bloomingdales ( a favorite destination for LAGOS jewelry because they have unique pieces I can’t find anywhere else ) and we’ve been pretty inseparable ever since, which is probably the main reason I love LAGOS so much. Day or night, casual or dressy, they never fail to make an outfit shine a little brighter, and I don’t know about you guys, but come Holiday season, I can certainly appreciate that!

Special thank you to Bloomingdales and ShopStyle for partnering with me on this post.
