EWP Gift Guide: Amrita Singh Jewelry

I am super duper head over heels in love with Amrita Singh jewelry. It is super unique and has just the pop of color I need to make any outfit fantastic. The site has a million zillion options from earrings to cuffs to necklaces to rings, but I picked just a few options for all of you. Seriously, though, this is only like 1% of what's available at Amrita Singh's website, so be sure to peruse it for yourself. And then stock up on some FANTABULOUS jewelry for the pretty ladies on your gift list this year.

Use the code "holiday10" now through Christmas for 30% off your order, and they're currently featuring free shipping on all orders no matter the price. Only wish I had known that before I placed my order last week...

EWP's Least Favorite Things

Since I spent the last few posts telling you what my very favorite things are, I thought I'd do a post on the things that I really really dislike (my mama's always telling not to use the word hate, so let's go with dislike).

In no particular order.

1) Rubberband bracelets. There is absolutely nothing stylish or grownup about wearing theses.



2) Shirts with hoods on them. A sales associate tried to convince me to buy one the other day and, instead of laughing in his face, I chose to ask him whether he thought I was 12. No? Do I look like a grownup professional woman? Yes? Okay, then please burn all the hoods. Thanks.

3) French pedicures. OMG, there aren't enough angry words in the world to express my complete disgust for french pedicures. They are in a word - trashy. Just think about it - why would you ever ever want to draw attention to or emphasize how long your toenails are? Never? Okay, then let's all ban french pedicures.

4) While we're on the subject, let's give french manicures the boot too. Dear all future brides out there, you do not, I repeat DO NOT have to get a french manicure for your wedding. You will look really gross. You're welcome. xoxo, EWP

5) Rubber flip flops. I think I've already said all I need to say about these things. So let's just leave it at that.

6) Jean skirts. I just really really really from the bottom of my heart do not like these things. I've never seen a woman in a jean skirt and thought "oh, doesn't she look nice." I have, however, thought "oh dear, she looks like one of those Duggars."

7) Chunky heels. While we're banning things around here, how about we add chunky heels to the list. They do nothing for a woman's look. Completely unflattering and unfeminine. You'll look just as chunky and drab as the heel you're wearing in one of these.

8) Cargo pants. The same sales associate who tried to sell me the hooded shirt, then proceeded to try to sell me a pair of cargo pants. If looks could kill, he would have burst into flames at the moment he brought them to my dressing room. I do NOT do cargo pants. And neither should you.

9) Gym shoes when you're not at the gym. I had a picture for this but somehow deleted it. Apparently blogger hates them so much it won't even allow me to post a picture of them. Just don't do it, okay? Good.

On the Eighteenth Day of December...

As a fashion snob I have quite a few pet peeves when it comes to people's ensembles (chunky heels, I'm talking to you!) But the full list of fashion don'ts is for another day. Today I'm limiting my rant to those awful Tiffany's dog chain bracelets. There is nothing attractive about having a dog collar-looking item on your wrist. And the only point to wearing such an item is to show off it's from Tiffanys. But there really is no point in going designer if it doesn't look nice. EWP Rule #237: Even designer things can look bad and just because it's DvF or Tiffanys or what have you doesn't mean it's right for you. EWP Rule #194: Don't buy things everyone else is wearing because that's boring, try something new.

If you are dying for a Tiffany's bracelet, might I suggest something a little less 19 year old sorority girl and a little more grown up. Why not try this unique and stylish cuff instead?

Tiffany & Co., $525

On the Fifth Day of December...

As I suggested in my holiday dress post, sometimes just what an outfit needs is to be topped off with some gold accessories. This holiday season I'm craving some gold bangles.

Gorjana, Sale $74.20

Fab Find

Jewelry doesn't often make its way onto EWP, mostly because I'm never actively looking for it. But today all I wanted was a little glam on my wrist. And at only $34, this bracelet can do it without breaking the bank. Can't wait to pair it with a solid jewel-tone dress. Perfect for winter.

Banana Republic, $34
