WEDDING INSPIRATION: JEWELRY

I've got the dress and now it's time to accessorize!

I obviously have my heart set on rose gold jewelry as my engagement ring is the same metal, but also wanted to tie in black somehow since I'll be wearing black glasses and shoes. Thankfully, rose gold and onyx is all the rage. We've got rings, necklaces, earrings, bracelets - all with the exact contrast I dreamt of.

Now the hard part - which ones do I choose?!

DREAMING OF HAWAII

My fiancé and I have finally decided on Hawaii for our honeymoon and I've been daydreaming about mountains, relaxation, and Mai Tais ever since!

While it feels like it's too soon, summer sales are already upon us. I've been taking advantage of the end of season deals and keeping my eyes on anything that reminds me of Hawaii to add a little fun to my future summer wardrobe. From aloha clutches to pineapple shoes, I will be completely island ready!

WEDDING INSPIRATION: THE LOOK

I have tried on numerous wedding gowns and I haven't been able to envision myself in any of them. From the silhouette to whether it matches my glasses of choice (weird request, I know), it just hasn't been "the one".

I started to think about my "look". Did I want to feel glamorous? Sexy? Bohemian? No, I just want to feel cool. Then it finally hit me - I really did love Solange's wedding dress. (So much, I even did a post about it, but completely forgot until recently, obvi.) With that dress in mind, the details came pouring in. Rose gold, black, metal, onyx. With my fiancé in black by my side, chic and cool will be done in one fell swoop!

Now it's time to research local Houston designers and make my vision a reality! See my inspirations for my wedding look below.

Loeffler Randall Metallic Lock Clutch ($350.00) - Shopbop, Diane Kordas Rose Gold Black Diamond Bar Necklace ($940.00) - Neiman Marcus, Halston Heritage Asymmetric Flutter Sleeve Gown ($595.00) - Bloomingdale's, Hutton ($95.00) - Warby Parker, Horizon Duality Ring ($200.00) - Bing Bang NYC, Solange Knowles in Kenzo (Us Mazagaine), Jeffrey Campbell 'Burke' Platform Heel ($135.00) - Nasty Gal, Luxe Pave Deco Bar Stud Earrings ($29.00 - On Sale!) - Henri Bendel, Octagon Stone Bracelet ($575.00) - Vita Fede, Livid ($16.00) - LVX.

What will your "wedding look" look like?

EASY WAY OUT TO MIXED METALS

One quick look into my jewelry box and you'll notice, I don't judge. I've got rose gold, silver, gold, brass - you name it. I'm all for mixing metals, but sometimes I don't know how to make them look cohesive all by myself. It always looks cute when I see someone layering different necklaces, but all I end up doing is taking half of them off midday!

My easy way out? I just find jewelry that's already done the mixing. And since I've now done the work for you, it's time to get shopping!

Top to bottom, left to right: 1. Bonnie Jonas Boxed Set of Three Square Rings ($22.00) - Nordstrom, 2. Full Heart Necklace ($60.00 - $600.00) - Catbird, 3. Split Section Ring ($12.00) - Topshop, 4. Margin Bangle Bracelet Set ($32.00) - Madewell, 5. Diamong Studded Bar Post Earrings ($440.00) - Melissa Joy Manning, 6. Mixed Arrowhead Cuff ($615.00) - Zoe Chicco, 7. Tri-Color Ring ($250.00) - Bittersweets NY, 8. Metal Drop Necklace ($88.00) - J.Crew, 9. Skinny Mixed Rings Set ($88.00) - Bing Bang NYC.

How do you mix metals?

GO FOR THE ROSE GOLD

Ever since I got my rose gold engagement ring, I have been obsessed with blush-hued jewelry. I've never been one to wear anything pink besides an occasional nail polish, but with my paleness and red undertones, yellow gold is very harsh on my skin, unlike rose gold. Consider me converted! And with any obsession, I've been doing quite a bit of online browsing and have found a few rose gold favorites that I can't wait to wear as everyday pieces.

Top to bottom, left to right: Straight As An Arrow Necklace ($240.00) - Maya Brenner Designs, Rose Gold-Tone Feminine Classic Sport Watch ($135.00) - GUESS, Bittersweets NY Teensy Diamond Ring ($218.00) - Free People, Tiny Skull Studs ($48.00) - Bing Bang NYC, LOVE Ring - Cartier, James Colarusso™ T Bracelet ($2,925.00) - J.Crew, Shashi 'Ophelia' Rose Gold Necklace ($118.00) - Anthropologie, Tomboy First Knuckle Ring ($148.00) - Catbird, Mini Letter Stud ($196.00 - Pair) Maya Brenner Designs.

Do you have any rose gold jewelry?

BRAIDS AND CURLS WITH MARK HILL

Renowned UK celebrity hairstylist Mark Hill and his team stopped by Chicago this past weekend to debut the launch of the Mark Hill Hair Care Collection, exclusively at Walgreens. We headed up to their luxe suite at the Sheraton Hotel, filled with the new collection, and got the chance to test them out and get our hair styled by Mark Hill and his team!

Since we knew our locks were in the best hands, we decided to both go for something out of our league. Jess had her hair done by Jules, and requested a sleek fishtail braid, while Mark Hill gave Jill full, bouncy curls. We both LOVED the transformation and were so excited with the results! Mark Hill and his team are so sweet and talented, and we can't believe that each product costs less than $12!

It's like we switched hairdos!

Jess and Jules!

Jill and Mark Hill!

Jess wore a GUESS jacket, Forever 21 blouse, Marciano denim, and DV by Dolce Vita wedges.

Love the fishtail braid up close!

HOMETOWN WEEKEND TRIP

I took a weekend trip last week to my hometown of Miami! I wanted some quality time with my parents (aww) and wanted to help my other best friend (and yes, her name starts with J) with just girly, frilly thing for her upcoming wedding.

LOVE these Marciano denim!

When I travel I try to stick with one color story and one metal so that I can mix and match within my trip and avoid overpacking. For the first time ever, I actually did not check any bags since I get a bit overwhelmed with packing liquids. There's foundation, eye cream, moisturizer, toner... I still don't know how I packed that all into one quart sized bag! I packed plums and hot pink (not a usual for me) with black and grey printed denim, and finished it off with black and silver accessories! I know it's the Sunshine State but I've been waiting for fall since summer started and I wanted to wear my newest closet additions!
