Accessorise Me (Shameless Promotion)

Because I've been delinquent in contacting Etsians on whether or not I can feature their work in Accessorise Me, I'm in a bit of a bind for my regular column. So I am going to take this opportunity to use my jewelry in this post:

Outfit details: I Heart Paris Tee from Forever21, Grey Acid Wash Ruched Skirt and Christian Louboutin Bianca 140 pumps
Wear with:

White and grey pearl black mesh necklace that can be transformed into three designs

Handmade silver wire bead kidney wire earrings

Moonstone and crystal mesh bracelet

Kidney wires

Whenever I go on a supply run, I'm always amazed at the variety of metalwork that is on offer. I finally picked me some kidney wire earrings to play with this weekend and am in love with how much more elegant each of my earrings look. The downside of kidney wire earrings though, is that you have to have very very simple designs and if you know me, that's not really me.
Case in point, this pair of earrings that I love and have made various versions of:

Not very kidney wire friendly is it? But now I'm discovering a whole new simple world and have created a bunch of elegant simple earrings.. only problem is, I lent my camera to a friend who is on vacation and so I can't show you until Sept! That also means no new listings until Sept. What a pity!

Accessorise Me (Simple yet elegant)

I've chosen what could be seen as a rather demure outfit if it weren't for the striking Steve Madden purple suede shoes. The clothing comes from two up and coming designers; Alexander Wang's cutout jersey skirt and Jason Wu's tiered silk chiffon blouse.

I've found delicate and interesting jewelry from my fellow Etsians to go with the outfit:

Two PEA in a POD golden green freshwater pearl sterling silver necklace from muyinmolly

Two- Finger Lily Ring from ChadwickandRueling

Small Canary Earrings from joannarutter

Accessorise Me (Woody Notes)

I actually created this look based on an incredible vine bracelet that is on sale for Etsy. While I can’t afford it, I’m sure there must be someone out there who can. For this outfit, I’ve paired together a Stella McCartney silk halter neck jumpsuit with L.A.M.B. Rhett strappy platform sandals complete with suede ruffles.

Wear this with:

Early Budding Vine Bracelet 3-Northern Lights from Giftbearer

Peacock Pearl forged sterling silver earrings from barrondesignstudio

Scots Pine original silk-lined clutch bag from redrubyrose

Accessorise me (Golden Hue)

There are so many Etsy designers that it’s incredibly hard to single out any one artist as someone to keep an eye on. Instead, I’m going to showcase pieces that would go nicely with certain outfits. Let’s start with the basics, simple black and white T with jeans and some killer structural heels.

Just FYI, there’s going to be a shameless plug for my jewellery in addition to other gems I’ve found on Etsy (for this first time at least). Here are some pieces that would look awesome with them:

Gold Italian ribbon mesh with faux grey pearls and ribbon-wrapped chain from yours truly

Gold Quartz Drop Earrings from Mickstonedesigns

Topaz and Brass Ox Filigree Cuff Bracelet from Serrelynda
