What happens when you combine the diverse talents of a young jewelry designer and a style savvy blogger with a shared love of vintage jewelry? The result is a collection of costume jewelry inspired by days of yore filled with whimsy and romance – Life.Love.Jewels. Designer Jennifer of Jennifer Elizabeth and blogtress Malorie of Life.Love.Couture. instantly bonded over the same glamorous aesthetic and quickly conceptualized this limited edition collection, available exclusively at: jenniferelizabeth.com.

It is hard to choose, but if we had to pick our favorite it would have to be the Khloe ring in antique rose gold – a textured, modern interpretation of a vintage bow sprawling across your fingers for $95.

With the fairy tale vision of the royal wedding still fairly fresh in our minds, we were delightfully surprised to find Roberta Chiarella’s “Kate’s” earrings on pre-sale the very same day. These earrings have the same regal air, quality craftsmanship and sparkle for a mere fraction of the price. Whether you’re a bride this summer or simply a guest with good taste – spoil yourself with these earrings for only $98.

Psst! Robertachiarella.com is also holding an epic spring sale until the end of the month – take an extra 50% their sale section until May 31!

As I noshed on cupcakes and cake pops from Sweet E’s Bakery (yum!) and sipped a Svedka vodka tonic, I got the lowdown on how to create my very own ULINX masterpiece out of LINX, aka tiny silver-plated neodymium magnetic spheres, and CLIX, modular magnetic pieces that look like printed rectangles and doughnut-shaped circles.

Sound like a science project? Yes, especially when you find yourself fighting with the positive and negative poles of the magnets. But really, it’s more like a space-age arts and crafts project.
