Style Report: Long-Strand Necklaces

Posted by Natalie Kaar / Tuesday, March 1st, 2011

Hello there, shoppers! The sunshine, though it’s still a bit chilly outside, and the fact that it’s March 1 has me thinking spring! Of course, that means I’ve got spring fashion and accessories on the brain — speaking of, just wait until you see our April issue!

So, we’ve already discussed divine bells, chain/cross-body bags and florals. Another trend I’m super happy to see on the radar: long-strand necklaces. There’s just something about bold jewelry that makes an outfit pop, adds a bit of whimsy, a bit of romance, and just makes a girl happy.

While I can’t wait to surprise one of my family members with one of these Gemma Redux necklaces — scored an insane deal via Today Show Steals and Deals back in November — the long necklace collection at Neiman Marcus and the seemingly endless excellent necklace options at Anthropologie are what has my wish list growing by leaps and bounds. Gorgeous!

Yet when I think jewelry, a certain local designer always pops into my head, too. Check out this one of many Meg Carter conversation-starters:

If looking to spend a bit less, you’ll find great options at J. Crew, South Moon Under and Lord & Taylor among others.

Happy shopping!
