FEATURED: DAVID YURMAN JEWELRY AT STYLE THERAPY

Don't miss out on these hard-to-find, nearly vintage David Yurman pieces up for auction now at Style Therapy on eBay!  Great classic cable pave diamond pendant, onyx and diamond Capri earrings, double cable watch and more!

Well Collared

It's no secret that style-watchers are focusing in on collars.  It's a trend that's relatively easy to pull off. There are tons of options out there: the removable collar, the collar necklace and (please, don't laugh) the dickey.  For those of you who do not know, the dickey is basically a collar that is attached to a "bib" and gives the illusion you are wearing a shirt.  Dickies can change the look of a sweater or shell without any bulk or pesky bunching and twisting.  They are especially handy to a Texan (like myself) who appreciates the layered look, but rarely sees the opportunity, what with the heat soaring well through fall!

Here are a few Style Therapy favorites:

Ollegoria on Etsy features some beautiful handmade collars for sale.  Or, if you prefer a little DIY collar project, here are a few I have stumbled upon:

• Refinery29 shows you how to make 4 different collars
• Fashion a pretty eyelet collar with P.S.-I made this...
• Create a chain collar necklace at Hello Whimsy
• Get a pattern from The Maker's Journal and whip one up from scratch!

Stylishly Superstitious: The Evil Eye

Stylish or superstitious?  Maybe a little of both?  Historically, these talismans were worn to ward off the evil eye curse...basically turning or bending a malicious gaze back to its bestower.  I wear my Jennifer Miller evil eye bracelet every day (#6) and even though I don't consider myself all that superstitious, a little added protection never hurt anyone!  Accessory and jewelry designers are putting their own spin on the evil eye, here are some of Style Therapy's favorites:

Mother's Day Goodies

Here are a few gift ideas to help you show Mom some love this Sunday!  She will love the bold color contrast on the gorgeous monogrammed Suzani pillow.  Instead of sending flowers, how about rose-scented perfume or bubble bath?  New mom?  Go with a classic charm bracelet from Altruette (a portion of the profit from charms benefit various causes.)  Need a quick fix?  It's an oldie but goodie, but I adore the Fresh Sugar Candle (Trish McEvoy's Wild Blueberry Vanilla candle runs a very close second).

Cheers to all the hard-working moms!
XOXO,

Crystal Rocks!

Make a statements with quartz accessories and objects.  From polished crystal rings to sparkling drusy quartz earrings to a rock crystal-embellished golden skull, there's a little something for everyone.
