Right on Banana Republic

I LOVE Banana Republic. From their sleek, sophisticated yet a little trendy clothes to their huge sales, I've become a big fan. Plus, if you sign up for their credit card you get extra coupons for your birthday and 25 dollar gift certificates when you accumulate a certain amount of points. Plus i love how almost everything in the store always ends up on sale, bad for them because i never buy anything when it fist comes out, good for me because i get a deal. As I was browsing through their store the other day I took a look at the jewelery section and saw some great, surprisingly trendy stuff for reasonable prices. From what I could see they looked like they were pretty good quality too.

A big trend this season was cocktail rings. They're classic and can be the centerpiece of any outfit, however, it's difficult to get one that doesn't look cheap if you don't want to spend a lot of money. Banana Republic has some that are really pretty in person and although they aren't real stones, they don't look like you got them at Claire's. The splurge cocktail ring on the left is by David Yurman (who i absolutely adore) for $1,025.00. It's smokey quartz with diamond but they also have it in Blue Topaz, mother of pearl, amethyst and a few others. The ring on the right is from Banana Republic for $48.00. It also comes in this canary yellow color but I think that one looks a little cheap.

They obviously look different but I think that they are the same type of style and have the same feeling, if that makes sense.

These 2 rings look kind of David Yurman like as well. The one on the left is the Genuine White Jade and CZ Cocktail Ring and is only sold online at Banana Republic for $42.00. The ring on the left is the Large CZ Deco Ring for $48.00.


i LOVE LOVE this Crystal Flower Ring from Banana Republic for $42.00. So pretty! Looks kinda like a Chanel one i saw in a magazine a while back.


Charm Bracelets and necklaces were also another popular trend this year. Juicy Couture started a jewelery line and they have this Heart Charm Bracelet for $128.00 (+ $60.00 for each additional charm) from Shopbop.com


Banana Republic also has charm bracelets which I actually think are a little classier than the Juicy ones without the juicy sayings on the charms. There's the Multi Charm Bracelet for $48.00. Or the other Multi Charm Bracelet for $38.00.


I also love charm necklaces. Shopbop.com has a bunch of cute ones from this jewelry designer named Gara Danielle. The one on the left, Farm Charms with Leaf Necklace, is $150.00 and the one on the right,the Small Tusk Necklace with Charms and Stone is $161.00.


Banana Republic has also made a few charm necklaces that you can find here. They range from $26.00-$48.00. These 2 below even have similar charms (the dove and the elephant) as the Gara Danielle necklace on the left.


I really like these ones with the charms around the circle pendant thing. That makes them a little different than the charm necklaces I've seen around.


Charm necklaces and bracelets are arguably very last season but I don't really dictate what I wear by that. My philosophy is if you still like it and think it looks good, wear it!
