How I Layer My Necklaces

I am such a huge fan of jewelry! You will never catch me without jewelry .. on purpose. Accessories add so much to an outfit. You can be wearing a minimal style and a necklace, earrings, etc. will tie it all together.

I get questions all the time about where I shop for my necklaces and how I decide to pair them. My biggest advice to putting pieces together is: pair different lengths of chains. You won’t get the same effect if they are all cluttered on top of each other. I typically use three necklaces (unless I’m feeling hella extra) — a short chain, medium chain and a long chain. It’s pretty simple. You can also find necklaces that have multiple necklaces in one clasp. #LifeHack

I honestly don’t have a particular place where I get my necklaces. Whenever I see a cute necklace, I snag it. There’s no rhyme or reason to it. I also keep an eye out for simple necklaces that will compliment necklaces I already have. It’s important to have a variety of simple chains and statements. Another tip: keep the tones of your necklaces in the same family. This will keep continuity in your look. You want the pieces to stand out but still look like they are a family.

I’ll link some cute necklaces I have seen recently below.

I had so much fun in NY; I'm ready to go back! Here are just a few photos from my trip that I thought I'd share. xx

My Favorite Backpack & Why

I would gladly live out of a backpack if it meant I could see the world. 

Okay, I don't know if I could live out of my backpack, but I sure am obsessed with this one! One, i'm in love with this backpack largely because of its color -- olive green is so my jam. Two, it's so sleek and stylish, but it's also practical. There are so many compartments yet still holds its sleek shape and style, which I'm impressed by. I have jam packed this backpack and it still looked like I had hardly anything in it. #winning 

Since I got this bag from CalPak I have used it for literally everything -- my day to day, as a carry on, for shoots, etc. It's literally the perfect backpack. It has its own compartment in the back for your laptop, which allows you full function of the main compartment. Most backpacks don't have that, so you end up limited on space after putting your laptop in it. I have an 11inch MacBook Air and it fits with plenty of room, so you can definitely larger laptops in there. When I use it as a carry on, I typically put my passport, ID, boarding pass, etc. in the front zipper. Did I mention how perfect this bag is? haha 

I checked the site for you all and it looks like it's no longer available in the olive green, but it comes in plenty of other gorgeous colors (and black for my minimalists). When I first came across this backpack, I expected it to be pricey af, but it's under $100. That still sounds like a lot, but if you shop around for other backpacks with it's style and durability, you'll find that others are actually more expensive. 

I'm going on a quick turnaround trip, so of course, this will be the first thing I pack! What do you guys think? I'll link the page to shop below.

LET'S BE TWINS!

Hella Coachella

Coachella is around the corner and I'm going to help you be HELLA COACHELLA.

We all know that Coachella is its own vibe. And if you don't know, now you know. (I hope you all heard Biggie Smalls when you read that lol.) It's time to bring out your cutest crop tops and most fashionable statement pieces. There are so many ways to make your outfits festival ready. For me, I'm all about accessories. I prefer more simple outfits and accents to set the tone. 

In these looks, I have one piece that really makes the look pop. In the picture above, it's (obviously) my skirt. It's breezy and flirty and is perfect for the weather in the desert. What makes this skirt stand out is, yes the print, but the cute high slits on both sides. This particular one is from Fashion Trend LA. It's actually a dress (which is no longer available, but I will link similar items below) that I made into a skirt by tucking the top into the skirt. I paired it with a Top Shop crop top, which was only ten dollars and comes in almost every color. I got mine from Nordstrom. You can also wear basic tanks and bodysuits to achieve this look. (Forever21 has a lot of floral maxi skirts too.)

I'm also obsessed with high waisted anything! For those of you that aren't really into rocking skirts, you can still get the same kind of look with shorts. (I will link some below.) If you are doing simple denim shorts, you can get really creative with your tops. I have linked some really fun tops that you can pair with anything to really make a bold statement. For those of you that are more low key, throw a crop top with it and call it a day! Just have fun with these looks. This is your chance to wear something festive and different from your everyday look. Mix a basic look with a fun hat or funky sunnies to add some flavor. The sunnies I am wearing below are from Quay Australia and I got them from Nordstrom. 

And then there's just flat out extra! I live for a comfy set. You hardly see satin sets, but leave it to me to find one lol. You can never go wrong with a matching set outfit. It kinda does the work for you. I have linked this exact set below.

Let's talk accessories! I am a total gold girl. I just prefer gold with my skin tone and red hair. You can do so much with this area -- big hoops, layered necklaces, earring cuffs, stacked rings. The options really are endless here. I have really been into jewelry from Civion -- there are so many fun pieces for affordable prices. Anddddddd I have a discount code for you! Use code: ELISE25 for 25% off your entire purchase! Hollaaaa. 

I think my favorite thing about my Coachella looks is my henna! It's so unique and give off such festive vibes. I know two amazing henna artists that I found on instagram: Henna Dil Se and Glory of Henna. 

I hope this guide helps you babes and that you all have a wonderful and safe time this year at Coachella! Leave comments below if you have any questions or need help finding something specific.
