Posh & Pretty Valentine's Day Gifts

Thursday, February 4, 2021



It's that time of year again when all things pink. red and heart-shaped are lining shelves and racks in all the shops. As a lover of love, Valentine's Day is one of my favorite holidays and encourage all, even single friends, to enjoy this sweet day. As much as it is a celebration for couples, gal friends use this usually romantic day to celebrate the unique bond and friendship among one another. With celebration comes gifting and I've rounded up a few posh and pretty Valentine's Day gifts your loved ones will surely enjoy long after this fun holiday has passed. 

FINE JEWELRY 
A favorite to both give and receive, fine jewelry is a special treat that holds both sentiment and value. A luxurious option that makes a bold and lasting statement, fine jewelry has the power to pronounce the wonder of a moment or holiday in an extravagant fashion. If you're motivated to gift fine jewelry this Valentine's Day, try opting for sleek pieces in higher grades of solid gold which is an exceptional metal that never goes out of style. 

Nicole Wegman, the powerhouse behind Ring Concierge  revived the jewelry industry with her outstanding NYC-based fine jewelry brand. Her unique and jaw-droppingly stunning diamond rings may be on every contemporary gal's wishlist but it is her elegant gold jewelry designs that have wowed many jewelry connoisseurs and enthusiasts. One of my favorites in her growing range of gold pieces is the Love Ring, which beautifully wears singularly on the finger or stacked atop sparkly gemmed bands. 
SALE ALERT: Ring Concierge is hosting a V Day sale starting today until 2/9, here are the details: 15% off fine jewelry orders under $850 // 20% off fine jewelry order $850+

FASHION JEWELRY
For those who are looking for a more ornate jewelry option fit for a snazzy personality, look no further than Filienna, a lovely jewelry brand merging the intricate technique of filigree design and  the elaborate art of henna. The brand prides itself on creating jewelry with meticulous attention to detail while using a variety of quality metals. Each eye-catching design presents itself as a piece of wearable art. 

These show-stopping heart-shaped earrings are a perfect item for this occasion as its romantic design is stylish enough to wear long after the holiday. While its larger style and pretty blush silver material seems grand, these light-weight beauties can be worn from day-to-night with ease. 


BEAUTY
A fresh manicure or an indulgent bath sound like ideal self-care activities to revel in for this love-centric holiday. Shower yourself or a friend with a beauty treat or two which upgrade routine tasks with fun alternatives. 

A darling trio of JINsoon polishes seems like a winning gift as these high-quality nail varnishes are coveted favorites among the best in the fashion community, Trio de Couleurs houses three sweet shades fit for the holiday. Whether you like a single shade or a full set of whimsical nail art, this trio is sure to be a fun set to explore.  

Bath and body products with superb ingredients makes the extra steps in our bathing routines well worth it. 54 Thrones luscious Polish + Hydrate Valentine's Gift Set includes two botanically-rich body items that make an ordinary task a more lavish experience. For the full effect, begin with the Duafe Polish bar which gently buffs the skin, exfoliating as it runs along the body and leaves  behind a soft, cleansed canvas. To retain the yummy results of the polish bar, hydrate the skin with the Kenyan Hibiscus + Moroccan Rose Beauty Butter, an ultra-nourishing, dense formula that locks in the moisture. 


HOME
Who doesn't appreciate a beautiful accent of love displayed around their space? Taking a note from the hallmark hues of this love-filled day, gifting colored designer decor items that go beyond brief joy is a wise choice. A charming frame displaying a meaningful photograph or a fancy candle with an enticing aroma  both serve as lasting reminders of the person who gifted it while looking incredibly chic set up on a shelf or vanity. 

Housed in a gorgeous deep red colored glass jar with a contrasting petal-pink trimmed logo, Diptyque Tuberose Candle is as pretty as it is deliciously scented. Featuring the brand's signature quality and exceptional formula, this floral-rich aroma will fill a room beautifully till its very last burn. 

A well-loved motif in Aerin's classy range of decor and interior design collections, this heart-shaped frame chicly produced in a lush red velvet provides romantic elements to any place it's displayed. Its charming shape and bold hue draws the eye and creates a statement while being a beautiful visual reminder of a significant moment.

ATB X THE PEACHBOX

Wednesday, February 10, 2016





While we're all familiar with the major fashion communities of the world, Australians are catching up to the fashionable set with a covetable style all their own. I can't seem to get enough of their cool styles, footwear and accessories. One awesome brand I'm currently loving is The Peachbox, a super chic jewelry e-retailer that is turning out delicate designs that make a sleek statement on their own or layered with your favorites.

Whether its their classic bangles in luxe golds or silver tones or timeless pearl earrings, keeping things simple and effortless is the art to The Peachbox. Catering to both the girl who appreciates a clean, sleek look as well as those who love a little bit of glitz and sparkle, The Peachbox is a perfect place to score beautifully made jewelry with wallet-friendly price tags.

Having been a long time fan of roman numeral style jewelry, I instantly gravitated towards their best selling Roman Empress bangle and charm necklace. While gold is always my go-to option, I couldn't say to no to the bangle in their beautifully blushy rose gold tone.





Upon opening both pieces, I was blown away from by their quality. For such a low price point, each piece was well made, of a nice weight, and shined in luxe way. Most wallet-friendly jewelry tends to give off that gaudy, cheapy sheen but that was absent in these pieces. You would never guess they were under $40 a piece.

In addition to jewelry, The Peachbox have added Marc Bale timepieces to their collection of already top selling products and naturally, all watch designs follow their classic, timeless aesthetic.

It's safe to say that I will be adding to my TPB pieces in the near future. If you'd like an idea of how their pieces look on actual shoppers, head over to their equally chic instagram page where they feature shoppers' beautiful snaps and give a real look at how their jewelry wears. Additionally, the brand announces promotions and fun sales on twitter, snagging jewels for well under retail is always a winning option.

Rocksbox: c/o

Attention all jewelry enthusiasts -- I have a special treat for you and I think you may just love it! 

You may have heard the buzz about Rocksbox over social media and after finally giving this super cool monthly service a go, I can certainly say that its a great one. 

As one who loves jewelry, my personal style ranges from delicate to full on statement. Rocksbox is just the remedy to my glitzy obsession. A monthly jewelry service, Rocksbox has taken a personalized approach to shopping which allows you familiarize yourself with a product prior to purchasing. 

Upon signing up and creating a dense style profile, you will be assigned a personal stylist who will chose three uber-chic pieces of jewelry that'll cater to your unique style preference each month. Featuring creative and wildly popular designers like Gorjana, Kendra Scott, and Loren Hope, among others, there is a variety of styles to please your sparkly needs. 

My favorite aspect to this service is how it functions like your very own personal shopper. Each month, Rocksbox members get to familiarize themselves with three new pieces on loan. We can see if it truly suits us, plays well with our wardrobes or sits well with the jewelry we already own. The goal is the streamline our jewelry collections and find items that will carry us seamlessly into the next season, time and time again. 

Once your personalized box has arrived, you are given three dazzling pieces of jewelry on loan.

Once you're ready for a new set, neatly nestle your unwanted pieces back in the box and ship it back (shipping label is provided or your convenience) for your next set. 

My box was quite great. Madison, my Rocksbox stylist, pulled pieces that perfectly catered to my tastes. Hitting the statement aspect beautifully with the Perry Street Olivia Necklace and delicate touches with the Gorjana Infinity II Ring in Rose Gold and Sophie Harper Pave Ball Studs in Gold.

As a Rocksbox "It Girl," I'll be taking you along with me on this fabulous jewelry journey for three sparkly sets. Stay Stay tuned for the next set and see which pieces I'll be receiving and styling.
