Jewelry Giveaway with Joyo!

Happy Monday! I'm really excited to kick off this week with a giveaway from my new favorite (virtual) jewelry shop: Joyo! 

Joyo is modern, eco-friendly jewelry that features artistic laser-cut designs and gorgeous woods and metals. It's produced right here in Massachusetts, too! 

Don't let just my words convince you, though. Take a peek at some of these awesome pieces in the Joyo collection.

I love the modern, cool-girl feel of these pieces, so much so that I've been working them into just about every outfit of mine lately. See here, here, here, and here. I consider this stuff statement jewelry and a wardrobe staple, all at the same time. The good news is, Joyo is giving away some gorgeous pieces to TWO lucky readers of mine.

To enter the giveaway

• Follow me on Instagram, Google Friend Connect, or Bloglovin
• Leave a comment below telling me which piece above you'd like (cuff or earrings), and include an e-mail address I can contact you at
• Bonus entries for those who like the Joyo page on Facebook
• I will be announcing the winner Monday morning (Christmas Eve), so you have until Sunday at 11:59pm EST to enter

Also, if you are interested in purchasing any Joyo jewelry as a gift for a loved one (or a well-deserved treat for yourself!), be sure to order by Wednesday to ensure it ships on time :)

Red, White, & Blue

[Red Striped Dress: Forever 21; Blouse: Forever 21 (old); Sneakers: Forever 21 (old, similar Keds here); Necklace: Forever 21 (old); Bangles: SoWa Vintage Market]

This outfit brought to you by Forever 21, with an assist from SoWa Vintage Market and the 4th of July. I scooped up a couple of these striped dresses in an online sale (at Forever 21? Yes, I know, that's just going too far). They arrived in the mail a bit more, um, form-fitting than what I'm used to or prefer, so layering things over them is key, I discovered.

Happy weekend! It feels like the second go at it.

Colorblock Frock

[Dress: Forever 21 (sold out); Flats: Zara; Necklace: Banana Republic outlet (old); Sunglasses: Ray-Ban] 

I had a blast at Forever 21 this weekend in the Northshore Mall. More and more I find myself wondering why I bother to look for clothes anywhere else. Their cute summery dresses are especially to die for, and this colorblock one is no exception. I bought it a few months ago online when I was really ready for some warm spring weather. I styled it with minimal accessories and nudish flats to let the colorblock scheme get all the attention.

I was happy to kick off the unofficial start of summer with this dress and some tacos in Allston. It was my recovery treat after a half marathon that morning. More on that later.

Ladylike Print Mixing

[Striped Shirt: Forever 21; Cardigan: J.Crew Factory (old); Jacket: Forever 21 (old) ; Jeans: James Jeans via Gilt; Necklace: J.Crew; Earrings: BaubleBar; Shoes: Cole Haan (old)]

I've loved seeing all the fun print mixing this season and wanted to try it out with a few pieces I had. I bought the striped shirt earlier this spring from Forever 21 to have as a good staple, and realized it was the same color tone as a leopard-esque cardigan I got from the J.Crew outlet a few years ago. I also remembered this fun houndstooth cape-like jacket I bought at Forever going into my junior year of college. I think it gives the look a Mad Men feel. Who says bargain purchases have to be thrown away after a season?

Purple Dot

[Polka Dot Blouse: J.Crew factory (old); Cardigan: Banana Republic; Pants: Theory via Crossroads Trading Co.; Shoes: Bandolino via T.J.Maxx, Necklaces: J.Crew factory (old); Earrings: BaubleBar]

I love when Boston decides to be sunny and warm. It makes waking up in the morning and snapping some outfit pictures before work much more pleasant. 

J.Crew factory pieces definitely dominate this look, with the purple polka dot blouse, two necklaces and "bracelet" (another necklace actually). I come from a place with two J.Crew outlets within five miles, so the store can definitely be seen a lot in my wardrobe. This whole outfit feels like one shopping deals win. There's the Banana Republic cardigan, which I picked up in December when they decided to discount the entire store by 40 percent one weekend. My black pants are Theory and were thrifted at this fabulous store on my San Francisco trip. And the shoes are the T.J.Maxx ones I've gushed over before. 

I'm starting to realize finding deals on clothes runs in my blood. Every time I compliment my beautiful stylish Nana on what she's wearing, she says something like. "Oh I got this at Macy's, on their clearance rack, which had another 30 percent off. AND I had a coupon. So it cost me $7." I also inherited my nocturnal and anti-morning tendencies from her.
