How would you describe your everyday style?

Simple, yet rich. I tend to wear my hair down and straight, with soft, natural makeup (except when doing photo shoots for blogs, of course). I love showing off my blonde hair and find that a simple beauty routine really lets my hair shine. As for dress I tend to focus on one thing at a time. Whether it be an over-the-top blouse with a simple pant or a killer pair of boots with a simple dress, I like to give all my pieces their time to shine! It’s all about balance.

How would you describe your personality?

Honest, funny, perfectionist. I have a hard time being anything less than brutally honest. People, even some of my dearest friends, are often surprised by the things that can come out of my mouth. I’m just not afraid to be myself. I love laughing and making others laugh, and am not afraid to be totally goofy if that’s what it takes. As for the perfectionist, well, you should see my planner, checkbook, bedroom, closet, car……

What do your jewelry style and personality traits have in common?

I’m very fashion forward and love to stay up to date on trends, but I can only wear things that I love. If a trend doesn’t feel right on me, I can’t do it. My honesty takes over and I have to accept that some things  just are not for me. So I move on and wear what feels best.

How does this influence the way you help customers?

I find that many of our customers really enjoy the advice we offer on what is fashionable and I love to give it. However, if a customer tries on a new trend and it just doesn’t seem to work, I’m not afraid to share with them that there might be something else more suitable.

What is something you have learned about your jewelry style since you started working at NEWTW!ST?

Yellow gold is beautiful and I love it on me! For years I’ve seen yellow gold edging its way back into the lime-light through fashion magazines, but not until I began working at NEWTW!ST did I see how pertinent it had become to the jewelry world. It only took one day and a couple test runs at NEWTW!ST to have me sold.

What is your favorite fall trend this year?

Scarves, hands down. I wear scarves ALL THE TIME. There are so many ways to wear them and so many fabrics to choose from that you can (and I do) wear them year round. Although they are more than just a trend to me, I appreciate the fact that they are in this season; there are so many available now to choose from!

What is a piece of jewelry/style advice you would like to share?

Don’t let yourself get stuck in a rut! Even if you love your style, you should always allow yourself to try on new hats (or in this case, jewels) and see if there is anything new that you can incorporate into your look. You might be surprised as to what looks really work for you!

Jane Hollinger: The necklace you never take off. Simple and stunning. Perfect.

Wasabi: For pair of timeless pearl studs, at a price that will make you grin.
