This is all jewelry under 10 dollars, which means it all very affordable! And look at this grouping, is this not Hanna Marin’s style of jewelry? It’s glitzy and glam.

I can see her wearing the Pamela earrings and Elise bracelet with a  strapless red dress for a school dance.

The Miranda pendant would be for a school day when she’s trying to be more boho like Aria.

The Billy earrings are perfect to be worn any day, especially with skinny jeans and a black leather jacket.

Isn’t dressing with Pretty Little Liars style so exceptionally fun? Every day you can be a new character!

Taylor Swift is a fan of Guy and Eva jewelry as part of her own jewelry style. So what pieces might she pick?

This isa collection of looks that is very bright, kind of spring-like. There’s some enamel florals  in the bracelet which are very sunny. I’ve picked up that golden color with the earrings and the necklace, but let the bracelet be the main attraction so nothing is too overpowering. Taylor can pull off delicate jewelry.

The necklace I used isn’t the one that exactly matches the earrings, but either of them can really be used. And you might be wondering why I didn’t try to match the bracelet as well, and that’s because I think three matching pieces of jewelry can look … it’s not you having a style, it’s you just wearing something off of a mannequin. Two pieces that match is always fine, though. It’s just a third piece that will make it look over the top. So here, the metal tone is the same so it does “match” – just not in any exact way.

And again, because the bracelet is powerful and draws attention, you don’t need huge earrings or a thick bracelet. I can see Taylor wearing this all with a white sundress and wedge sandals.

Some style tips to consider for Aria Montgomery style in purses or bags is that she keeps things functional for the event she’s at. Smaller clutches are used when it’s a fancy affair. But she’s not afraid of larger bags at school, and she’s not afraid of designer labels or unique looks. In fact, she’d prefer having a purse that no one else has. Look for unusual colors or color combinations (here you’ll see a dotted orange, a nautical stripe piece, a statement bow and a regal berry color.)

Brighton Crystal Breeze Mini Organizer – Zappos – Perfect for school or for trips to the mall or going out to eat with girlfriends.

MICHAEL Michael Kors Margo Medium Shoulder Flap – Zappos – A fancier, smaller bag that is so damn sweet!

Rebecca Minkoff Mini Mac Bag – Zappos – It’s almost SEXY, that’s how much I love this purse.

Dooney & Bourke Nubuck Collection Zip Sac – Zappos – An ideal bag for school. Love the fringe detail.

Kooba Cooper in Berry – Zappos – Again, perfect for school. It’s a large bag and this particular color choice is so, so Aria. This might be my favorite of all these bags. Kooba is well known and well worn by plenty of celebrities, and it’s easy to see why.

I believe Peggy Li jewelry contains edgy twists on classic designs. They are all timeless and elegant with that bit of edge that makes them feel very “now.” …Now, let’s explore!

These Paradox Earrings made of blue chalcedony and coral are going to cheer up any outfit.

These are some great chevron earrings with a Long Drop!

These spiritual necklaces are called the Tiny Beaded Om Necklace and look really fun.

My Personal Peggy Li Jewelry Review

I received two items. They were shipped in a bubble package, but oddly without boxes. However, because I am always trying to be mindful of going green, I’m actually glad for this. Unless you are using the jewelry item as a gift, you don’t need an extra box that you’re just going to throw out. Moreover, the bubble packaging keeps everything super safe. If you are ordering something for a gift, you can probably e-mail Peggy to see if she has any gift wrapping options, or just re-use one of the million little white boxes you have shoved in your closet. (I hope to see more jewelry makers sending their wares in soft cloth pouches instead of just boxes.)

Gold Lotus Earrings

The first item is a basic, everyday kind of hoop that has been giving a bit of a boho twist. The Small Lotus Hoop Earrings were worn by Kadee Strickland on Private Practice. These are a small hoops that measure 1″ down so they’re not too imposing.

Handmade in Bali, they are available in gold vermeil or sterling silver. I had gone with the gold vermeil, however I feel like they’re so matte that the sterilng silver would have been a better choice. The gold earrings kind of fade away by themselves, unless you wear some other gold-tone jewelry. And that way, it allows the Small Lotus earrings to compliment a larger piece of jewelry.

The way they’ve been formed allows them to hang forward a bit, which is a very thoughtful allocation in this jewelry design. The closure is a bit tricky to master at first, and you do have to be gentle with them as you take them on and off.

Unique Necklaces – Carved Cross Necklace

This is a knockout piece. Why choose between exotic or romantic? Get them both in this Carved Cross Necklace from Peggy Li. I choose the 24″ chain, because I like wearing necklaces long. The white cross is actually bone and carved n both sides. Some 24k gold overlay outlines the modern cross shape, and a little drop of sparkling amethyst is added on the chain above. When paired with the small gold lotus earrings in the gold vermeil the combination was perfect. These are one of those unique necklaces you just fall in love with, you know?

“…you can look like you’re a celebrity who has casually and effortlessly put together a stunning look that subtly matches without the aide of a stylist.” – Jessica Rae

My Personal Experiences / Brooklyn Designs Review: I received a pair of earrings to review, the Silver Night Swarovski Gold-filled Drop Hoops. They’re from the Fall 2011 collection. Super sparkly, these are so elegant and long (measuring in at 3 inches) so they’re sure to make a statement. Even the gold on these earring is really shiny and that’s because Brooklyn Designs uses 14k gold-filled elements. It makes a huge difference! The earrings are also made with Golden Shadow Swarvorski Crystals (basically clear) that have a checkerboard cut on them so they are dynamic when the light hits them. There are also Silver Night Swarvorski crystals. For me, those are the real stunners! They are such an interesting color of kind of a dark gray violet… they almost change color like a mood ring. They remind me of hematite a little bit. The image on the website does not do these justice at all, and I’m not just saying that – I hate cliches! I highly recommend these earrings.

The earrings come with a discount for your next purchase, info on what you’ve purchased and a cute little box that make them perfect for gifting. These were going to be given to my one sister for Christmas, but I tell ya… I really want to keep them and buy her something else! Maybe these Brushed Vermeil Hoops with Amethyst & Quartz. I love that they’re big and that they give you a pop of color. I don’t have a ton of earrings with colors in them, you know? Oh, wait, this was what I was going to buy as a present, right, right!

“I feel like there’s a lot of nature, spirituality and romance in her inspirations, which is translated into the jewelry.” – Jessica Rae

Brooke was completely sweet to work with in setting up this review. And I really love her taste level. The jewelry mixes a lot of crystals, 14k gold plated pieces, and pops of aqua and turquoise. Of course, there’s more than just that. I feel like there’s a lot of nature, spirituality and romance in her inspirations, which is translated into the jewelry. I feel like any of these pieces are all going to make you happy to have them in your jewelry box. And what’s more, a lot of the pieces really match up well together so you can look like you’re a celebrity who has casually and effortlessly put together a stunning look that subtly matches without the aide of a stylist.

Something I love about the website is that plenty of the pieces of jewelry will have an image not just of the item, but of the item being worn by someone. This is so important for me when trying to purchase something – I want to see what it looks like when a pair of earrings hangs from an ear lobe, or how much of an impact the size of a pendant has, you know? Most of the jewelry gives you two different views, plus an additional image with someone wearing the piece. It also has zoom functions. Very nice.

The jewelry on the site can be viewed by type (earrings, bracelets, necklaces) or as the Botanical, Bridal, Fancy, Hoops or Classics collections.
