Sincerely Silver's Coordinates Bracelets

Sponsored, StyleKristenComment

Fun fact! We have a week until Christmas. Yes, I’m just as surprised as you are. Yes, I am also scrambling to get last-minute gifts because even though I’ve been alive for twenty-two Christmases and should know better by now, I haven’t bought anything. But it’s not because I’m lazy! 

I’m quite the perfectionist, and I take great pride in getting the best gifts for my family and friends. This results in paralyzing fear that my gifts won’t be cool or unique enough for the people I love. Isn’t that silly? But I’ll never learn. 

I’m the type of person who likes to get meaningful gifts that are special to me and that person’s relationship. I mean, who doesn’t? I just take it a little overboard. I love homemade gifts that I can put my entire soul into (or at least most of my soul since I’m usually in a rush).

So, if you’re like me, you’re probably freaking out a bit right now. But never fear! I have an amazingly special gift idea for you that won’t drive you absolutely insane. Enter, Sincerely Silver’s Coordinates Jewelry

Every relationship has a special place, be it where you and your significant other met, where you and your best friend took a special trip, or just somewhere you and your siblings like to escape to. When Sincerely Silver asked what I wanted on the coordinates bracelet they were nice enough to send me, I asked for the place my dad and I like to venture to every Sunday to clear our heads. Every time I wear my bracelet, I’m reminded of the smell of motorcycle gas and the heart-to-hearts my dad and I share while staring at the most beautiful waterfront views.  

Sincerely Silver has so many different styles of bracelets, necklaces, and rings to choose from. They even have a necklace shaped like the state of California. You’re bound to find the perfect gift for that last person on your list, and you don’t even have to buy a machine and learn how to engrave jewelry the night before Christmas. Not that I’ve ever considered that in a pinch… 

And regardless of the memory attached to the piece, Sincerely Silver’s jewelry is absolutely stunning. My coordinates bracelet fits right in with my little stack of silver bracelets, and always puts a smile on my face. 

Plus, as a Christmas present from me, you can use the code SINCERELY15 for 15% off your order!

Let me know which coordinates you’re getting in the comments!

Outfit of the Day, StyleKristenComment

Still haven't figured out how to make faces when posing! Someday!

Top (similar). Jeans. Sneakers. I honestly have no clue where I got these sunglasses I'm sorry :(.

Happy Memorial Day, y'all! I'd like to start this post off by thanking our military personnel for fighting hard for us. Also, my heart goes out to anyone who has lost someone special in the military. This day's for you! 

Logically, I decided to flaunt my American pride by wearing red, white, and blue! Yes, I know that Memorial Day is technically tomorrow, but I have work and I wear a uniform. So I celebrated today instead! I started with some high-waisted dark blue skinny jeans. Then, I added the white crop top I posted about the other day. To be honest, I completely forgot it existed since I just bought it, so I'll be wearing it a lot more from now on. 

Now, I just needed some red, which I don't really own! Since red is such a harsh color, I usually use it just to accessorize. It really makes things pop, especially with neutral colors like black or white. I wore my red Converse (that are actually clean since I don't wear them often!) and red sunglasses. I gave my hair a little pouf and threw it into a ponytail, a look that I love but I don't wear often enough. I was originally planning on tying a bandana around my head, but I decided against it. Looking back, I totally should've. Oh well! Maybe tomorrow. 

I was also going back and forth on whether or not I should wear red lipstick. I didn't know if it would be too hot (because I'm totally the person who would wipe sweat off my face and spread it all over my chin), then I thought it would make my look too fancy, but my family and I were going to a Broadway show, and my outfit was just asking for it, let's be honest. For me, I'm not completely dressed and ready until I put on some sort of lipgloss or lipstick. I feel like it just pulls it all together, and honestly, lipstick makes me feel like a total badass, especially red lipstick. More on that here

I wore my usual jewelry (my dogtag-ish necklace as a shout-out to the military!) but added two Alex and Anis: an anchor and the Disney castle. Two all-American things, right?

This outfit was super comfortable and perfect in today's heat. My dad wasn't really happy about me wearing a crop top, but whatever (whose dad is?). I love love LOVE the pinup girl look, which I think I emulated in today's outfit. I guess there's a hiiiiiiint of Rosie the Riveter in there somewhere? Let's pretend there is. 

Once again, thanks to everyone we're celebrating on this Memorial Day.
