Balmy Night

Stone Bracelet * Jessalynne * Chiffon Dress * Calypso St. Barth *
I've found myself matching bulky chains with oversized stones and charms when creating my newest bracelets and necklaces. Maybe I'm overcompensating for the delicate earrings that have so far been my staple? Maybe I'm not as girly as I was trying to project?  Maybe that doesn't bother me at all? I love the look and feel of a bombastic (that's right!) bracelet or cuff. The chunky chain should enhance the large focal point.  You should sparkle and feel extremely confident as you walk through a crowd and everyone is staring at your wrists in awe.
Do you prefer chunky or dainty jewelry for every day wear?

Wire Wrapped Crystal Earrings



I'm still new to wire wrapping anything but I've been dying to make some stud earrings. The chandelier style is awesome but I need some change every once in a while.   These adorable earrings were a great start to wire wrapping, sort of like dipping your toe in the pool before jumping in.  Just creating the 90 degree angle for the stud was challenging enough - I kept holding it too tightly and bending it backwards and sideways and all over the place! The loops on this pair are a little wonky but the sapphire fire polished beads are so pretty that I wore them anyway.  I have 5 other colors with and without AB finishes. These sweet little gems will be debuting at the Ybor Saturday Market - Come out and see them sparkle!

Fall in Love - Titanium


Crystal Bracelet * Jessalynne * Grey Beaded Sweater * Lela Rose * Plum Chinos * Republic * Laced Wedges * Shoe Fashionista *


I know, more purple pants, but I can't help it! I love the color!  This time I paired the colorful bottoms with a comfy grey sweater. The sweater is amped up with sequins and a back zipper. These cuffed chinos will look ultra relaxed with these lace-up suede platforms and the arm candy in lavender crystals popping from under the grey sleeves. I've been told I wear grey way too much and get teased for thinking it counts as a color. Well, Pantone dubbed it a focal color of Fall so take that! You better believe I will be rocking Titanium grey all season long!

Do you consider grey chic or blah?

Stripes and Pearls


Bauble Earrings in Silver * Jessalynne *  Striped Sweaters * Bluelans * 

Anything with a dolman sleeve gets my vote, especially super comfy sweaters. The color grey is also something that has caught my eye in the past months. What was once thought of as a cheap, dreary color, now represents something more chic as well as confortable. I think I am relating the color to silver and in my head that makes it beautiful. Being decked out in grey, black and silver is my ultimate dream outfit. If I could wear it every day without looking like I have too many feelings, it would be a perfect world.  Of course not everyone is a big fan of subdued fashion, so there is a bright and bubbly alternative to my bauble earrings.
Are you most comfortable in deep, dark colors or bright and bubbly hues or (please say no) neons?

Fall in Love - Rose Smoke

Crystal Earrings * Jessalynne * Pink Cardigan * ROMWE * Green Tunic * Copious * Wine Leggings * Fadhila * Green Watch * The Royal Lifestyle * Brown Bow Boots * GOjane *


Pink and green compliment each other beautifully and if the hues are just right this isn't just a perfect Spring outfit. The deep wine leggings and riding boots carry this right into look right into Fall and the lightweight cardigan is perfect for the Florida climate.  I love the Ombre crystal earrings and the sparkle that they add to every outfit. I love super flowy tops and cardigans with leggings and boots for comfort and chicness.  The little bow detail on the boot really add to the girliness of this pink look. I don't normally wear pink but the wine color of the leggings is one of my favorites for my clothes and my hair dye. 

Do you wear pink or is that too girly for you?

Come Visit Jessalynne at Saturday Market





 I'm excited to announce that every Saturday morning in October (and probably through December) I'll be setting up shop at the Ybor City Saturday Market. Come out and say hello if you live in the area and check out the hundreds of new pieces that I'm too lazy to post online!

This is my first market and I can't even explain to you how busy I've been building and designing everything. Each display was hand built by yours truly and I am exhausted. I've built 2 giant earring displays and am in the process of creating 4 necklace holders from reclaimed picture frames based on some of my favorite pins. They're all painted black and pretty fancy. I can't wait to get everything set up!




Hope to see you out there! Details about the market can be found here.
