Jewelry by Justine! Review

Hi Everyone, I have another jewelry review for all of you today! Today we will be getting a closer look at an online jewelry store by the name of Jewelry By Justine. I discovered this shop on instagram and instantly fell in love with everything that was posted on their page. The shop owner told me she would be sending me a piece to review, and when this arrived on my door step I was super excited because this was my favorite piece that was listed on their webpage!

 

 

First before we get into the review of the actual jewelry piece we have to discuss the packaging and how it was sent to me. I was impressed with the super fast shipping first of all.  By the time we talked I felt like this arrived just a few days after which was pretty nice as well. It arrived in an adorable little box, and then the necklace itself was in a bag to help keep it more secure. I love when jewelry is shipping in boxes like these, because I usually end up hanging on to them for either myself later down the road, or when you have gifts to give that are jewelry items. I also put them in boxes because it makes them look so much nicer, so it's always good to have a few of these empty boxes laying around, you never know when you might need one!

 

Inside each package that you receive from Jewelry by Justine you will also receive a little paper on the care instructions which is extremely helpful. I also purchase my jewelry online and I never know how to clean it. Especially when it doesn't come with the instructions. Cleaning jewelry makes me nervous in general because I always think I am going to mess something up lol. I can reassure myself that with this one I wont mess it up because it came with instructions :)

 

This is the item I was sent to review as you can see this is a pineapple necklace and I am so in love! Jewelry by Justine has a few different pineapple necklaces listed on their site for sale but this one is called "MAMA PINA NECKLACE". This is the biggest pineapple one for sale and I think its perfect. Pineapples are my favorite fruit ever, and having them be so adorable just gives me another reason to why there my favorite lol. I love this piece because it really screams summer time, which is something I absolutely cant wait for. Living in Florida I love having pieces that are in the tropical category because these are pretty perfect to wear year long.

Retails:($60.00)

 

Here is a close up of the actual pendant it self. I know it's probably hard to tell from this picture, but this pineapple isn't solid which is something else I really like about it. It has small holes throughout the piece, which makes this super lightweight and really comfy in wearing. I hate wearing jewelry that is big and chunky and this is so not! I would consider this to be more of delicate. Delicate necklace are really in style right now as well.  I am typically not a huge fan of gold and I never wear it but in this case I love it! I actually don't think I would like this necklace in silver. I think the gold is just beautiful and really makes the pineapple pop!

 

The description for this item on the website is:

"14k gold-filled chain. Mama pina is vermeil which is 14k gold plated over sterling silver. Length is 20"

 

You don't have to worry about this turning your neck green, or getting yucky which is a huge plus as well. I love the length of the necklace as well. I think the 20 inch chain is perfect for pretty much anyone. It isn't too long and it isn't too short either. I think most people would be happy with the length of this chain too. I am pretty in love with this piece and think this is a high quality jewelry piece. I have been wearing it for a few days and haven't taken it off, and I'm pretty surprised with how well it's holding up! I will definitely be wearing this a lot during the summer and that's for sure!

 

 

I highly suggest checking this online store out for yourself. I'm almost certain you will find something that you can't live without. There are so many gorgeous pieces you will fall in love with!

String Beans Inc! Review

For today's review I will be showing you a few different items from an etsy shop by the name of String Beans Inc. This shop is filled with all types of wonderful items. Her shop is truly adorable and has some one of a kind pieces that blow my mind. Here you can find jewelry, sunglasses, purses, décor and so much more. She does such an amazing job at offering something for pretty much everyone. I'm almost certain you will be able to find something in this shop you just cant live without so I suggest checking it out for yourself :)

 

The very first item I will be sharing with all of you today is this bib style of necklace. I must say this isn't something I would typically wear but I love it. This would look great with so many different looks and you could really dress this up or even dress it down too. The fact that it's black too makes styling this piece a lot easier as well. This would look great with so many different colors, or even with just a black outfit too.

 

The thing that I really like about this necklace is that you tie it. You don't have to worry about fussing with a tiny clip to get this necklace on and off which can be a huge pain at times. I hate asking for help when putting on jewelry to be honest lol, so this makes it so much easier for me. I wont have to ask for help when wearing this which is a huge bonus for me!

 

This necklace is super light weight, it might not look like it is, but it truly is. I was quite surprised how light and comfy it would be. I thought this necklace was going to be kind of itchy too because I just figure on the back of the necklace it would be scratchy from the rhinestones, but the back of this necklace is completely flat. When this is laid against your chest you can hardly feel it

Retails:($15.00 not the same necklace but a very similar style)

 

Next up we have two pairs of earrings to take a closer look at. She sent me two of the same pair of earrings just different colors. These are stud style earrings, which are probably my favorite because you can literally wear these with anything. These match with everything and they are so easy to wear, and they are usually super comfortable as well. I never last a day or night ir I am wearing big earrings, the only ones that I usually end up keeping in my ears are studs. In my opinion you can never have to many right lol. The studs that she sent me are in a bronze/brown color and a blue color. They both have a matte finish to them which is super popular right now. I think the colors she sent me are gorgeous. I'll probably get the most use out of the blue ones, just because I think these are going to be perfect for the spring and summer time.

Retails:($5.00 for one pair)

 

The thing that really makes these stand our from your traditional stud earrings, is that these are pretty much two earrings in one! The backs of these you could easily flip around and were them reversed. I have seen some of these before and have been curious about them to be quite honest. I love the whole concept of these, just because you can get so much wear out of them and you get two different looks. They are pretty similar, but then again really different too. I am super excited about these.

 

The next item I have for you all today is this gorgeous necklace. I was unable to find the link for this one or something similar to this so please bare with me. Out of all the items she sent me I think this has to be my favorite one. This is gold necklace with silver crystal accents. I think it is truly gorgeous. I'm not typically a fan of gold, but in this case I am. The actual chain of this necklace is pretty heavy duty and seems pretty durable. This is another piece you could wear a million plus ways. These are the types of jewelry piece I am a big fan of. I like being able to wear my jewelry with all kinds of outfits, that is important to me. 

 

Here's a close up of the actual necklace so you can see the crystals on this piece. As you can see this is gorgeous. This is bib type style of necklace too which is one my new discovered favorites. I have to say I wore this out one time and was impressed with the quality of this piece. I received a million compliments as well on this. I do have to say I don't recommend wearing this when it's cold lol The metal gets freezing! This is a pretty heavy piece, but it is really comfortable as well.

I bet you will never guess what's inside this coral colored pouch..... lol

 

Sun glasses! Lol I'm sure you all guessed that from the picture above. Anyways she sent me this pair of gorgeous glasses that I am kind of obsessing over at the moment. This is totally outside my comfort zone completely. I usually wear aviators and that's all that I stick with. I am sooooo loving these however. It's not everyday you find glasses like these. They are so different and so funky which is why I really love them. The round style is such a hot trend right now.

Retails:($20.00 not the exact glasses but the same style)

 

I love the gold accents on the front of these it adds a little pizzazz to the glasses which is important of course. As you can see from the sides of these glasses they are covered in different colors.  It isn't in your face however. It isn't noticeable right at first but once you look at them you will start to notice. There are hints of pinks, blue, reds, oranges, and white. These are going to be perfect for summer time because they are going to match with some many outfits. Another thing I really like is that these glasses are super sturdy. The plastic that these are made out of is super durable and really thick. I am notorious for breaking sunglasses, but I'm sure these will stand up to my roughness with glasses which is really exciting!

 

I am in love with everything that I received from this shop! Everything has amazing quality, and everything is super trendy and stylish. Her prices are amazing as well. I would highly suggest having a look for yourself :)

Acid Octopus! Review

 

Today I have a review for all of you on an Etsy shop by the name of Acid Octopus. This shop is filled with a ton of fun and unique jewelry pieces. I am really excited to share with you all what was sent to me to review so lets get into this review!

 

 

 

The item that was sent to me as you can tell is a necklace. The pendant on this necklace is a little different from other jewelry that I have. The image on this necklace is the moon and it's gorgeous I love the color scheme for this necklace. It's black/grey which makes the metal of this necklace go perfectly with the piece. I love how well they go together. The metal of this necklace is like a gun metal color which I do really like. I think she did an amazing job at creating this piece. It really is unique and I can promise you that your not going to see a lot of people who have this necklace which makes it that much for special. I love standing out from the crowd. With this piece I will be able to just do that.

Retails:($20.71)

 

The chain that comes with this necklace is 60 cm long which is about 24 inches. This is a really long chain, which is right around what I like for my necklaces. Not too long and not too short either it's pretty perfect for me!

 

I am super impressed with this piece that I got :)

I love it so much and it's going to go well with so many outfits that I own. This shop owner is extremely talented and makes one of a kind pieces. I highly recommend going to check out her shop for yourself!
