🌴Wilde Bella meets Rock n Roll Caravan 🐪

No I won't back down...

Happy almost Friday, today I'm excited to be able to finally post photos of an outfit I have had planned out in my head since I posted the previous post back a month ago featuring this lovely Wilde Bella skirt in Earth. It's from her Ohana collection and she inspired me to style this skirt with one of my Chaser Brand Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers Rock n Roll caravan graphic tees. 

Back a couple of years ago I received some amazing tees from Chaser brand and one of them was a grey/black cut out shoulder Tom Petty tee. I was so in love with the tee I ended up purchasing the men's version of the tee in white on clearance from Nordstrom. I have worn it prior with jeans but once I saw her flat lay I had shared on my IG (deleted after pre sale) and here on my blog back in May I was excited for this skirt to arrive to see how they went together. Of course they are a match made in rock n roll heaven. I have found many graphic tees that look amazing styled with this color way. My Spell and the Gypsy green distressed Panther tee is another amazing combo.  This tee is hard to find since it is an older tee but have seen a couple people have found some since Wilde Bella and my own repost of the tee. After having many people ask me back in May then when I posted earlier on my IG I did a search and have found a couple online, including Chaser brand having the men's version like I am wearing in limited sizes, then used, or one or two new on Amazon. Try searching Chaser Tom Petty tee, I will also try to find a couple to include links below for where to shop.  You can also ask Wilde Bella since she has a v-neck version of the tee and did mention possibly selling them on her site.

I styled this look with a lovely handmade braided leather and gemstone necklace, bracelets with crystal and beaded stones from Whiskey + Bone as well as 31ements jewelry. Shoes are from Target by Mossimo and are my favorite pair of brown flats for summer. Going to wrap up this post with some of my favorite Tom Petty lyrics. Peace love and light. Remember always be yourself and don't back down. Xoxo 

 I won't back down, no I won't back down

You could stand me up at the gates of hell

But I won't back down

Gonna stand my ground, won't be turned around

And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down

Gonna stand my ground and I won't back down

Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out

Hey I will stand my ground

And I won't back down

Well I know what's right, I got just one life

In a world that keeps on pushin' me around

But I'll stand my ground and I won't back down

Hey baby there ain't no easy way out

Hey I will stand my ground

And I won't back down

No, I won't back down

31ements Jewelry

Happy Friday y'all , I know if you are like me the weekend is the highlight of your week. I spend from Sunday night to Friday morning counting down to the weekend when I can spend quality time with my family enjoying the beach or just relaxing together. Tonight I'm excited to share with you an amazing jewelry designer from Cope Cod, MA.  

31ements, (Elements) is owned and created by the talented Morgan Kendrew. The 31 in the name of her line comes from her love for basketball growing up, 31 being her jersey number. I love her creative spin on the name, I have always loved to use numbers in my business, blog and social media names. Morgan is very talented and artistic, she graduated from Brandeis University with a Bachelor's degree in Arts.

Her jewelry line is created with precious gem stones and good vibes in every piece.  As Morgan has posted on her website,  " Every gemstone is said to have its own metaphysical meaning and energy from the four elements: earth, air, water, and fire". There is a piece that is sure to appeal to everyone and have meaning to each person who wears any of the pieces from her collection.

I love to support small businesses, especially those who take the time to hand make all of their items, creating their own unique designs that show the love and passion the designer has for their pieces. You can see the time and heart that goes into every piece of jewelry Morgan has created.

Her line has a selection of necklaces, earrings and bracelets. Every item is handmade on Cape Cod (currently...) using mostly brass and 14k gold along with a variety of semi-precious gemstones.

Above are a few of the styles of earrings she has on her online site along a bracelet from her collection.  Again every item is hand made and designed by Morgan. Earrings retail for $20 and bracelets are $24.  I love the beachy, bohemian, good vibes each piece has.

These bracelets are made out of coconut shells and gemstones. They retail for $24. Traveling, creating, beaching, working out, and being around amazing people are her favorites and all of these are reflected in Morgan's designs.

31ements tassel necklaces are one of my personal favorites, I love how she has taken a trendy boho chic design adding the beach vibe with the addition of gemstone chips on each necklace matching the tassels color. These beauties retail for $34. You will find Rose Quartz, Lapis Lazuli, Coral, Fancy Jasper, Unakite, Amethyst, and Turquoise gemstones on all of her pieces.

This wire wrapped arrowhead shaped obsidian or crystal quartz with paisley leaf pendant comes on a 28" brass necklace for $34. As you can see in on of the photos above,  it looks fabulous layered with other pieces like the tassel necklaces and the Kyanite necklace I am wearing below.

Above I'm wearing the Kyanite gemstone piece with one brass crescent moon on each side. Hung vertically from a delicate brass or 14k gold plated chain measuring about 24". This piece retails for $32. The stone has a gorgeous sparkle and love the moon charms on each side, no matter which way the necklace sits it looks the same so you don't have to worry about your pendant twisting and not showing the crescent moon charm. Love this design and the stone is gorgeous. Blue is my favorite color, reminds me of the sky and ocean, Representing relaxation and tranquility.

All bracelets are made with 5 mm coconut shell beads and small gemstone chips in between two sterling silver disk beads.
