I love costume jewelry. A lot. In fact, the girls at work have begun to mock my accessorizing. “WHAT!? Leigh is wearing a statement necklace!? (feigning shock, and trying to hide their bemusement). I love the brights the bolds the sparkly the shocking. The old the new the cheap and the expensive. I dare say, even the gaudy. My love knows no bounds.
GIVE ME RHINESTONES OR GIVE ME DEATH!
This is something of a timeless trend, like leopard, plaid, the ballet flat and the shift dress, they will always be in style if worn correctly. Fortunately for me, we are currently in a trend of 'bold, bohemian and bright' and that means that there are no rules! Here are some of my favorites (and a hint for Santa, if he is reading…) that I have found recently.

3.) Fuchsia Bubble Necklace ~ Marmalade
4.)Pop Stone Stud Earring ~ Banana Republic
5.)Crystal Color Earrings ~ J.Crew
6.)Flower Lattice Necklace ~ J.Crew (AHEM, Santa….)

Sexy Random Number Generator picked comment #32 from Lexi:
And I had not choice but to choose chose Alli Hanson as the creativity winner for being such a super fan (and obviously a valued member of a large clan) that she got nearly everyone she knows to comment, post on FB, or tweet on her behalf. I am almost surprised they didn't send a carrier pigeon. Alli, you are well-loved, and now you have $50 to spend on our website!
Congratulations to the winners! Thanks to ALL who shouted out! We will be in touch to get you your $50 Curly Girl Design Gift Certificates
