This was so much fun! Have you checked out the newly revamped Kirsty? It’s streamlined, curated, and a visual treat for anyone who loves thematic roundups. While I do love Pinterest, it sometimes gives me anxiety. Kirtsy is cleaned up, designed with restraint and organized with a great eye. I was so glad to participate!
Many thanks to Gabrielle of DesignMom (a blog I hold in the highest respect and read daily and she’s also Co-Founder of Kirtsy) for allowing me to indulge my current neon obsession.
Hope you like my little slideshow!
I’ve been a big admirer of Alyson Fox’s work for a loooong time. First her drawings, then, well, everything else. This gal’s creativity knows no bounds. Naturally, I was excited and thrilled to see a set of lovely necklaces by Alyson Fox created for Of A Kind on sale today! I treated myself to the Neon Yellow Cluster necklace. Because you know how I love neon, and I’ve been looking for a brightly colored long strand for a while now. Frankly, if I didn’t have a 9 month old, and left the house more I’d probably have gotten all three, because they do look fantastic layered together. Alyson created 60 of each style for Of A Kind, so be sure to snag one soon if you’re smitten like me.
$50-$65 at Of A Kind
Sepia Beauty just launched a new jewelry site, and oh man does she have a good thing going! Maybe it’s because I’m a little cray-cray over neon lately, but these bold chunky necklaces are really calling out to me. (And affordably priced to boot.) Rope! Copper! Love it! Gonna keep an eye on this designer for sure.
I’m seriously gaga over neon this summer. Who isn’t? Neon (especially neon pink) looks good on everybody, and its just the bright shock of chip-cheeriness the world needs right now, if you ask me.
I’m also loving the delicate way neon is surfacing in more elemental areas of design and jewelry (especially kids jewelry! so cute!) vs. the bold statements we’re typically seeing in clothing and bags:
