There are some things that just go better together. We’re talking peanut butter and jelly, rum and coke and Calvin and Hobbes. You could have one without the other, but who wants that? We certainly don’t, especially when we’re talking about accessorizing. Consider us Cupid, ’cause we’ve paired up our favorite accessories for matches that might as well have been made in heaven.
Pineapple Earrings
Pineapple Rings ($16): Pineapples in the middle of winter? Thank us later. You’ll exude warm, tropical vibes whenever you don these matching pineapple beauts.
Hand-Stamped Initial Ring
Gold Dots Carryall Tote ($52): Take your polka dot obsession to the next level by wearing a polka dot on your finger too. When combined, this pair will pull together any basic outfit.
Tassel Key Chain
3-in-1 Leather Drawstring Bag ($265): When you have a bag this gorgeous, a leather tassel might seem like serious overkill, but not in this case! Hook on a keychain in a contrasting color to give your bag some edge.
Colorful Leather Studs
Gold Earbuds ($29): That’s right, y’all! Earbuds definitely count as accessories. Bid your plain-Jane pair adieu and pair this golden set with some complementary earrings.
5. Initial Necklaces ($34): Unless you’ve been kissed by a rose and call yourself Seal, you probably have more than one initial. Layer each one for an unforgettable look.
Square Earrings
Cubes Necklace ($24): 2015’s fashion runways were awash with geometric styles, so adorn yourself with some simple forms to match. Edgy yet youthful, this pair strikes the perfect balance of serious + fun.
Wavy Cuff
Ring ($35): You don’t have to waver on style this winter. Team up these organic-shaped pieces for a stunning match.
Black Pom-Pom Beanie
Turquoise Earbuds ($29): There’s nothing like protecting your ears from nippy temps *and* feeding them a sick lineup of Adele and T. Swift. Load up your Spotify playlist and jam in style.
Envelope Clutch
Scalloped Ring ($16): Okay, okay, the tablet is the REAL accessory of choice, but you gotta tote it somehow! A simple gold ring will help put the gold accents of this simple tablet sleeve in the spotlight.
Mint Clutch
Colorful Bobbi Set ($15): Don’t be modest with your pops of color. If you’re going to go for it, go all out, girl. Pair bubblegum pink hair clips (totally fun, right?) with an equally bright clutch to eclipse winter gloom.
Back in January, we introduced you to a feel-good cause to inspire your New Year's resolution: a walking challenge to help raise funds for the amazing cancer fighters at The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. I took part in the challenge with the Brit + Co team and ended up walking 105+ miles in January — it was awesome.
This spring, there's a new challenge on the horizon, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Big Climb. The ask: On May 15, 2021, you can step up to take cancer down by committing to climb 1,311 steps, walking 3.2 miles, or doing 440 chair step-ups at home as part of the Big Climb. If you need some motivation to bring movement back into your daily routine — look no further!
As always, it's free to sign up, but climbers are encouraged to set a fundraising goal to help beat cancer. We'll be organizing another Brit + Co team to step up, and I hope you'll join us too! Keep scrolling for a peek at where I'll be completing the challenge in my Los Angeles neighborhood around the hidden Silver Lake Stairs. Happy climbing!
Never underestimate the power of an accountability buddy! I asked my in-laws, my partner, and a few friends to join me so we can keep each other motivated and accountable in completing the challenge — virtual high-fives all around! Also, my dog Fox is a great climber, too.
An aesthetically pleasing backdrop is a huge motivator for me! I'm fortunate to have all sorts of painted steps around my neighborhood to keep the challenge interesting, but you can also keep cool inside with at-home chair step-ups.
Don't forget to share your progress on social — #BigClimb!
Feel free to break the challenge up if you need to by tackling half the distance in the AM and half at sunset. Here's me 1,311 steps later and ready for a break — but, think I earned this one!
