Accessory Report: Rock Candy Jewelry

Aug 13, 2012 at 5:30am by Lauren Conrad

I truly believe that accessories can make or break an outfit. That said, a true fashionista can differentiate between the accents that are worth spending a pretty penny on and those of-the-moment adornments that are okay to pass up. In today's case–curating a little body candy is a must for summer and fall...and luckily, it's a trend you don't have splurge on.

In my recent post about statement necklaces, I included a bold neon necklace that sparked my inspiration for today's Accessory Report. Lately I've spotted many rhinestone pieces that come in bright, punchy colors and I love the unexpected, candy-coated look. Not only do these brightly hued jewels liven up an otherwise dull outfit, they instantly add a playful yet interesting touch, giving your look a bit more depth and freshness. To give you a glimpse of this sweet trend, I've pulled together some of my favorite rock candy finds in the collage below:

Etsy Vintage 1950s Yellow Rhinestone Necklace, J. Crew CRYSTAL MARQUIS BRACELET ($115.00), T+J Clear & Yellow Highlighter Bracelet ($26), Bauble Bar Tangelo Tear Studs, Bauble Bar Pysch Eye Drops ($155), Anthropologie Impero Drops, J. Crew ARCHIPELAGO NECKLACE ($165)


If you already have some clear crystal costume pieces you can update them by glossing the stones with some nail polish. This is a simple way to update your accessories and try out this trend without spending a dime.

Which of these jewels is your favorite? Are you going to give the DIY a try? If you do the DIY, upload a photo to your LaurenConrad.com profile page and I will feature my three favorite submissions here on the site!

XO Lauren

      Love the idea! My favorite tip about jewelry is when I buy clear crystal costume pieces, I paint clear nail polish on top of it so the color does not rust or fade away! It works like magic and they always look brand new :)

      Hi All!


      It's Monday and I'm half asleep, but this and loads of coffee is definitely helping. I have to say I'm a die hard arm party/arm swag kinda girl, but statement necklaces are really growing on me! I tried it here


      http://closetfix.blogspot.com/2012/08/my-style-fix-leopard-print-dress.html


      and here


      http://www.fabsugar.com/Street-Style-Aug-12-2012-24388044?slide=6


      and I am definitely looking forward to finding new ways of working those awesome showstoppers into my outfits.


      Xoxo,


      Simmy

      Never would of thought to pain my jewelry with nail polish. A little weird, but possibly worth a try. :)
