Our air conditioning completely broke down last night, so I would say my number one obsession right now would be a fan. But… I guess I will share some others that are a bit more fun.

These perfect sunglasses that I discovered through Kristin. They are so classic and easy.

I saw this recipe and all I could think of is how freaking pretty it is. I mean cheese+avacado+tomato+onion… it obviously tastes good, but I just love how it looks.

J.Crew can do no wrong lately. These earrings are the perfect color of green. Such a perfect summer statement. They make a necklace version too.

Loving this black, white and green outdoor/indoor area. We are really lucky to have amazing outdoor space in the city, but I really wish it looked like this!

This seems like the perfect bridal clutch for the special day. Love all of the little pearls.

Hi all, I am Alex from Things That Sparkle and I am so excited to be sharing my favorite statement making jewelry pieces here!

I love big statement necklaces. They take any simple outfit to the next level. These are my three favorite ones right now.

This is my grandmother’s engagement ring. I was the only granddaughter who it actually fit so I was lucky enough to inherit it. It is such a special piece. I love how big it is, such a fun thing to dress up any outfit, and even better, remind me of my grandma.

These bangles are a favorite of mine. The thick one was the present my fiance gave me to try and trick me on the day we got engaged (long story), the medium one belonged to my other grandmother, and the thin one was a present to myself when I got my first job out of college. I love they look together, or separately, the colors and patterns are so much fun.

I also love big statement making earrings. I have really dark hair so the brighter and more bold they are the better.

Thanks for having me over today Hillary! xo
