get that look: LAYERED NECKLACES


Layering necklaces is a fun and playful look!  But it is important to layer pieces that are different lengths so that each necklace can stand out and be seen.  Vanessa Hudgens looks adorable with her many layers of unique necklaces.  You can get this look right now on Badjoan.com with several complimentary necklaces from Avery Jasper...



For the best layering results we suggest going with a short, medium, long grouping.  Start with the Bow Not Arrow Necklace which features a bow like front piece with a smokey quartz pendant.  Then layer in the Frog Necklace which has an adorable frog charm on a 14k gold fill chain.  Finally go long with the Vintage Cameo Necklace featuring a yellow bird and single jade stone.

Butterfly sleeves add an element of whimsical femininity to any piece!  America Ferrera looks flirty and gorgeous in an aqua blue butterfly sleeve dress and contrasting dark red heels.  You can get this look right now on Badjoan.com with the Postella Rue Dress in Aqua.  This dress features a deep v-neck, loose butterfly sleeves and a sash that ties at the natural waist. 


Complete this look with a contrasting dark red pump!  For an open toe look try the Cala or for closed toe we love the Rosario both by Marcello Toshi.

get that look: SPORTY CUTE


Take me out to the ballgame... The Bachelorette looks sporty and adorable in loose and comfy workout gear.  You can get a similar look right now on Badjoan.com by putting together the same elements...


For a comfortable and stylish top try an oversize, heathered t-shirt.  We love the unisex t-shirts by KJ Clothing available right now in Grey or Blue.  The material is soft and loose and has a great drape which is flattering while at the same time giving you the ability to move around.


If you're going to go loose on top then you've got to balance the look out with a short short!  Show off your gorgeous gams with the Steffi Short by Elwood available in Ultra Violet or Golden Haze.  These shorts or so soft and comfortable with an elastic and drawstring waistline.  Plus they are made from bamboo and organic cotton which makes them eco-friendly!


Finally you'll need to protect your head and face with a baseball hat.  Keep it feminine with the Princess Hat by Unstoppable available in Navy, Pink and Purple.  This hat features a silk screen crown and the words "Life is Beautiful" across the brim.
