Hopelessly Heather

The ramblings and obsessions of a longtime Avon lady

I’m planning to follow my star today in Avon’s Pave Star Necklace!

This line of necklaces is stinkin’ adorbs!! The pendants are appropriately sized for any age and are traditionally designed. They can easily be layered with each other (you can even buy three stars, then layer each at a different level–super cute!) to get in on the trend or to provide more visual substance. The backer card in the box for this one appropriately eggs you on to “Follow Your Star”–you can’t lose!

Starting off the week still kicking the last bits of this cold to the curb, but still bringing the dazzle in the studs from Avon’s Sterling Silver Hoop and CZ Stud Earring Set!

While basics aren’t nearly as fun to look at or talk about, they are called basics for a reason–everyone should have a version of them…and this sterling silver set of earrings fits squarely in that category.  These CZ studs are conservative and traditional, rather than sexy and showy, but sometimes that’s exactly what an outfit needs.  Small glints of sparkle on each earlobe perfectly completed the day’s outfit.  ‘Nuff said.

Still fighting a cold, but really feeling Avon’s Sage Green Autumn Shimmer Necklace and Earring Set!

The close up of the earring is a better representation of the sage shade this set is–the necklace was reflecting back the yellow hue from the overhead light. I wore the necklace chain as long as it comes without adding in an extender chain–normally I’d choose to wear this type of necklace higher up on my neckline, but I wasn’t interested in continually fishing it out from under the collar of my dress all day. Surprisingly, I didn’t have issues with the pendant hanging askew–every time I checked on it, it was hanging where it was meant to. I like how these aren’t “perfect” shapes, so they seem more natural–it’s not easy to see that in the photos, but you definitely notice in person. All in all, an unusually-colored pretty set!

Just a few more hours in NYC before we fly back home—it’s been terrific! I’m wearing the hoops from Avon’s Pearly Earring Pack.

What I really like about these is the very modern way the mounted the hoop so it hangs statically like a stud earring, but is still very clearly a hoop.  The pearl placement also surprises–it’s mounted at the top center of the hoop, rather than swinging freely or being mounted at the bottom of the hoop to prove that gravity always wins.  Overall, it’s unique and creates visual interest–it’s purely unexpected.  It’s one of the best parts of fashion: showing off accessories that inspire interest, surprise, and delight.  This pair of earrings definitely hit their mark.
