Cocktail, darling??


Ah... the ever adored 'Cocktail Ring' is an absolute favorite of mine. Bold, sparkly, chic... Let's just say I'm in love... Just added to my ever growing collection (thanks sister!) is this gorgeous 'House of Harlow" piece. It just takes me away to a white sand beach, with sparkling turquoise water. I can picture myself on the shore, wearing this little beauty and sipping a margarita... I can dream, RIGHT!?! Whether wearing your favorite jeans, or a gorgeous little black dress, throw on a bold, blinding cocktail ring, and the power of transformation is undeniable! This glittery friend of ours brings us even that much closer to FABULOUS! Waving it around at a party while you are mingling, or twirling it on your little finger is absolutely one of the best ways to amp up your 'style' and make a statement. Fun Fact: The term 'cocktail ring' emerged during Prohibition, when women would wear large, bold rings to illegal cocktail parties. A woman would flit her hand around, drawing attention to the bauble, to let you know that not only was she drinking illegally, she was doing it with style (Nina Garcia, 'The One Hundred"). That makes it even MORE fun to wear!! The great thing about the cocktail ring is that it does not have to be real- in most cases a great big piece of fake costume jewelry is preferred (hello Forever 21!). Therefore, you don't have to spend the 'ca-ching' to get the 'bling, bling!' Can it get better than this?! So be BOLD, ADVENTUROUS, FABULOUS! Get your bling on!
