These are not your Grandma’s pearls.
 
If you’ve seen anything fashion related in the last few months, you’ve seen the resurgence of pearls. Quite simply, they are everywhere, and they are taking on a new level of gorgeous that can’t be compared to the pearls we know from traditions past. The pearls of the moment are here to make a statement. They are big, bold, asymmetrical, and modern. It was plain to see from Chanel’s Spring 2014 Runway that we were going to be seeing this fresh take everywhere. No longer when we refer to pearl jewelry will you be thinking of Grandma’s old (but beautiful) pearl necklace, or the weekend adornment for the country club types. Pearls are back, and they are the new statement of the latest and greatest ultra-feminine jewelry and home decor. 

Hello lovelies! Big and bold...

If you need to ease into this trend. These are for you. Pearls on a small scale.

What’s fantastic is that we can expect this trend to carry into Interior Design trends starting here and now. Here are some of my recent pearl loves. Who wouldn’t love this Pearl armchair?? My only question is…how comfortable is it? I honestly almost don’t care. It would be an amazing chair for any fashion shoot, and having this level of glamour in my living room would make me feel like a model any day.

This Clothing Chain is utterly amazing. It is the perfect way to exhibit beautiful clothes whether you’re showcasing your closet as a window display, or just for your own viewing pleasure. You can’t tell me you wouldn’t love seeing your wardrobe beautifully displayed like this…
