Bringing Back Brooches: Using the Old to Make Things New

My black pea coat and my maroon slouchy beanie are two items that I’ve been wearing nonstop since it got cold. Eventually, I started noticing myself getting a little tired of them, so I decided I needed a way to update them. In this economy, “shopping your closet” is definitely a key skill. But how would I do this? I know zilch about sewing and altering things. My “light bulb” moment happened when I thought of the little box of my great-grandmother’s brooches that I’ve been keeping on my jewelry shelf.

I really don’t see many people my age wearing brooches these days, but I don’t think that necessarily means that they are outdated and obsolete. My take is that you have to wear them with sharp, young pieces that no one would expect to see a brooch on. I wouldn’t wear a brooch with a cardigan and button down shirt–now that’s a look that screams granny. Aiming for contrasting color combinations, I put a brooch made of silver and crystals on the maroon beret and a gold and pearl one on the pea coat.I love the result and can’t wait to see what other creations I can come up with using old jewelry.

Alexis Bittar Jewelry

Recently, I’ve been skipping large statement jewelry and wearing small pieces that are more classic. But every once in a while, I go through phases where I want to rebel and wear something that is big, bright and will definitely attract attention.

If you crave colorful, candy-like jewelry, look no further than Alexis Bittar’s Lucite pieces. In layman’s terms, Lucite is a smooth material that closely resembles both plastic and glass. Using the pieces in the most luscious colors and sprinkling them with crystals, Alexis Bittar makes these yummy little goodies look good enough to eat.

Must-have: Key Jewelry

I have been salivating over Tiffany’s exquisite Keys Collection since it was released earlier this year. With silver, gold, platinum and diamond key designs to choose from, I get the biggest adrenaline rush just by looking at them.

Yesterday, I landed upon the Sears’s website. Now, I have to admit, I am not a Sears shopper. I might find myself there if my dad needs a lawn mower..Imagine my surprise when I saw that Sears currently has some pretty nifty key jewelry. Made me reconsider my snotty attitude!

Have a peek at what I thought were the best of the bunch (and also some heart and key pieces that I couldn’t resist including):

Diamond Heart Key Pendant. 10k Yellow Gold ($127.49, Sears)

Stylish Two-Tone Clover Top Key Pendant ($169.99, Sears)

Diamond and 10K White Gold Key Pendant ($99.99, Sears)
