charm & chain chronicals: fall trend newsletters

Lately, much of my extra-curricular attention has been focused on my freelance work at Charm & Chain where I have been helping the lovely ladies there develop topics for newsletters, among many other fun tasks. I posted this Tropical Trend newsletter back in July and we have continued to develop more on-point trend newsletters since then. My favorite e-mail blast, which actually linked to a blog post I wrote for the site, is the Jewel-Spotting story above. In the post, I pulled some of my favorite street style images from this past NYFW that featured amazing, on-trend jewelry and paired the images with similar pieces available for purchase at Charm & Chain.

In other news, I recently began blogging for one of my favorite shopping sites, global e-commerce destination, L-atitude. My first post for them on different ways to tie a scarf ran this weekend, and I am am still so excited! Check it out here.

Stay tuned for some fresh TNTP content coming very soon!

Peace, Love and Neon,

want this now: dezso by sara beltrán clutches

I've been lusting after these Dezso by Sara Beltrán clutches for months and I'm so so tempted to pull the trigger. They're roomy enough to fit all your essentials and the perfect style to compliment any summer look. Plus, you already know how I feel about these tropical motifs.

Sara Beltrán's collection of bags and jewelry is beyond awesome. Influenced by her upbringing in Mexico and India, her designs evoke an effortless, beachy-gypset vibe featuring bright colors and nature-inspired details. (I included my favorite piece of her jewelry—a single silver shark tooth on a neon orange cord—in my post on shark teeth.)

In an interview with Refinery29, Beltrán said, "I want my jewelry to make people happy by wearing it—those are the people I hope wear my jewelry. That is the most I could ask for." I think that's motivation enough for me to click purchase.

Shop these clutches here, here and here.

Peace, Love and Neon,
Marisa
