Amazing ways to style your jewelry

If you love your jewelry, you’ll never want to take it off! But sometimes, you might find yourself with more jewelry than outfits that can handle it, and then you’ll need to get creative about how to style all your different pieces of jewelry like a moissanite solitaire rings. That’s where these five amazing ways to style your jewelry come into play—they’re gorgeous, feminine and fun! You won’t be bored with these styles anytime soon!

The art of layering

The art of layering is all about playing with different textures and patterns, and finding combinations that make you feel good. One way to do this is by layering necklaces. You can layer long necklaces with shorter ones, or layer necklaces made of different materials (i.e., wood and metal). The possibilities are endless! If you want an ultra-feminine look, stack delicate pearls on a gold chain for an elegant touch. A little more bohemian? Layer two gemstone beads on a leather cord for a boho vibe.

Statement pieces

Statement pieces are one of the best types of jewelry. They instantly make any outfit more interesting and they’re an easy way to wear something daring without having the full commitment. The key is finding a statement piece that suits your taste, like turtle bracelets, and then figuring out how you want to wear it. You can pair it with anything from a t-shirt and jeans to a formal dress.

Statement jewelry like chunky necklaces can be paired with a variety of outfits, from casual denim looks to elegant evening wear, making them versatile accessories that add a bold and fashionable touch to any occasion.

Dainty and delicate

Dainty and delicate necklaces can be worn with a simple top, or layered with other necklaces for a more dressy outfit. They are perfect for the fall season and give that extra touch of femininity. Another way to wear dainty pieces is by adding them as accessories. The options are endless when it comes to finding new ways to wear them! A bracelet on one arm and necklace on the other, or long strands of bracelets – no matter how you choose to style them they are sure to look fabulous.

Mixing metals

Mixing metals is a great way to give a more unique look to your jewelry. Two pieces of the same metal can be worn at once, or you can wear one piece of gold and one piece of silver. This technique is perfect for those who want an eclectic look without going too far outside the box. It also looks beautiful when layered with other accessories such as necklaces, bracelets, and earrings.

Personalized

Personalizing your earrings with a simple, elegant tattoo design is one of the best ways to keep them looking fresh and new. The good news is that you don’t have to be an artist with a steady hand and precise eye in order to create something beautiful. All you need is an image on your computer or phone, some earrings, and maybe a stencil if you want it done fast. You can always make adjustments or go back in later for touch-ups.

Empress Of and Bryce Dessner Join isomonstrosity on New Song ‘Take Me Back’

0

isomonstrosity – the new project helmed by producer Johan Lenox, composer Ellen Reid, and conductor Yuga Cohler – have shared a new single from their self-titled debut LP. Following lead single ‘Careful What You Wish For’, a collaboration with Danny Brown and 645AR, ‘Take Me Back’ features Empress Of and is built around a piano excerpt from The National’s Bryce Dessner. Listen to it below.

“This track had a long journey,” Reid explained in a statement. “At first we had Empress Of’s vocal line over a pop track, but I felt like it needed something less conspicuous to evoke the mood we were going for. After a few conversations, we threw the vocal line over Bryce Dessner’s hypnotic piano line, and we were immediately excited about this direction.”

“We made the song through text and email, typical of 2020,” Lorely Rodriguez, aka Empress Of, said. “I was starving to go out and be surrounded by people and I feel like you can hear that energy on this piece of music. It’s an unconventional song for an unconventional time in all our lives.”

“At the very start of the pandemic, I had my first sustained break in travel and touring in over 15 years,” Bryce Dessner added. “The request from my friends Johan and Ellen to write music, any music, which would be collaged into this larger isomonstrosity project gave me something to meditate on in that moment of quiet. I wrote several simple little pieces including this piano excerpt. Through processing they’ve transformed it into something surprising and beautiful to hear the amazing Empress Of on the track.”

isomonstrosity will be released on November 18 via Brassland.

Fleet Foxes Release New Song ‘A Sky Like I’ve Never Seen’ Featuring Tim Bernardes

Fleet Foxes have released ‘A Sky Like I’ve Never Seen’, an original song written for the Amazon Studios documentary Wildcat. The song was recorded in Amsterdam and New York City and features singing and guitar contributions from Brazilian musician Tim Bernardes. Listen to it below.

Directed by Melissa Lesh and Trevor Beck Frost, Wildcat “follows the emotional and inspiring story of a young veteran (Harry Turner) on a journey into the Amazon,” per a press release. “There, he meets a young woman (Samantha Zwicker) running a wildlife rescue and rehabilitation center, and his life finds new meaning as he is entrusted with the care of an orphaned baby ocelot.”

Commenting on ‘A Sky Like I’ve Never Seen’, Fleet Foxes’ Robin Pecknold said: “I was inspired by how the film employed unconventional means to arrive at something universally moving, and was struck by all the collisions inherent in the film’s conceit — between species, between hemispheres, between individuals, between the psychological and the natural. In hotel rooms and in borrowed studios, on time stolen from a world tour, I put this song together. It was an honor to be asked to make a song that could serve as an end-cap to this unique and affecting story and to collaborate with Tim again.”

Wildcat arrives in theaters on December 21 and globally on Prime Video on December 30.

Fleet Foxes’ most recent album was 2020’s Shore. On November 15, Fleet Foxes will release Wading in Waist-High Water: The Lyrics of Fleet Foxes via Tin House, a book containing Pecknold’s complete lyrics along with notes on his creative process and inspirations, with an introduction by novelist Brandon Taylor.

Hatchie Shares New Single ‘Nosedive’

Hatchie has dropped a new single, ‘Nosedive’, alongside an accompanying video. The track follows her latest album Giving the World Away, which came out in April. Give it a listen below.

“I wrote ‘Nosedive’ with Joe [Agius] and Jorge [Elbrecht] last year after we hit up an amazing goth megaclub in Denver on a weeknight,” Hatchie explained in a statement. “We were inspired to recreate the energy we felt there and experiment with a lyric-free chorus. There aren’t any other songs in our live show that are this punchy, so we wanted to write something angry and powerful. It’s about realizing you don’t have control over your life despite your best efforts; I wanted the lyrics to sound like the devil on your shoulder convincing you to self sabotage.”

Black Honey Announce New Album ‘A Fistful of Peaches’, Share Video for New Single ‘Heavy’

Black Honey  – the Brighton quartet comprising frontwoman Izzy Bee Phillips, guitarist Chris Ostler, bassist Tommy Taylor, and drummer Alex Woodward –  have announced their third album. A Fistful of Peaches is out March 17, 2023 via FoxFive Records, and lead single ‘Heavy’ is out today, alongside a music video directed by and starring Drag Race UK’s Dakota Schiffer. Watch and listen below.

“We wrote this song the day I found out the founder of our fan club passed away from Covid-19,” Phillips explained in a statement. “We were talking about the weight of grief and the way it holds you down, about the parallels between grief and depression. The weight of mental illness and how it brings you a deeper understanding of grief. There’s always a glimmer of light though and I love how Heavy has that kind glitter darkness. It’s in my nature to become co-dependant and I think in this song I’m reaching for someone to help me climb back out. I talk a bit about the never-ending story as it was my first dialog with death and depression as a child. Watching Artax the horse getting swallowed by the nothing whilst Atreyu screamed helplessly from the edges of a swamp really spoke to me.”

Commenting on the song’s visual, Dakota Shiffer said: “For my directorial debut it was crucial to me that Heavy centred around the themes of trans femininity. A self-portrait of a struggling trans person who’s exterior appears alluring and glamorous but is constructed out of a need for survival. That survival has led many trans people in history to endanger themselves in pursuit of euphoria. The showgirl aesthetic, the location, and the pastel colour pallet puts the creative firmly in a distinct era but everything is not as it appears. Writing the lipstick on the mirror as a reference to Butterfield 8, an infamously misogynistic movie starring Elizabeth Taylor, is the finale to a dreamscape of an evening in which the song narrates perfectly.”

A Fistful of Peaches will follow Black Honey’s 2021 album Written & Directed. “If the vibe of Written & Directed was creating this whole Tarantino world and this safe space of me almost refusing help and saying I was fine, then with this album it’s the opposite,” Phillips commented. “Lockdown had happened, I’d had two years of not writing anything and feeling like my entire purpose had gone down the drain, I’d been in intense therapy which was exhausting, and what came out was just me regurgitating things from my entire life and building my brain cells back to how they should be. I’ve had to be more honest and vulnerable with myself, but I feel like I’d be disservicing anyone who spends their time and passion and energy into this project to not fucking unveil it all.”

Dream Wife Release New Song ‘Leech’

0

Dream Wife have returned with a new single called ‘Leech’. It marks the London-based trio’s first new music since the 2020 LP So When You Gonna… Take a listen below.

“‘It’s an anthem for empathy,” the band said of ‘Leech’ in a statement. “For solidarity. Musically tense and withheld, erupting to angry cathartic crescendos. The push and pull of the song lyrically and musically expands and contracts, stating and calling out the double standards of power. Nobody really wins in a patriarchal society. We all lose. We could all use more empathy. As our first song to be released in a while, we wanted to write something that feels like letting an animal out of a cage. It’s out. And it’s out for blood…”

Ailbhe Reddy Announces New Album ‘Endless Affair’, Releases New Single

0

Ailbhe Reddy has announced her new album, Endless Affair. The follow-up to the Irish singer-songwriter’s 2020 debut Personal History will be out on March 17, 2023. Today, she’s shared a video for the lead single ‘Shitshow’, which you can check out below.

Speaking about the new track, Reddy said in a statement: “Sh*tshow came from a lyric I played with for a few months which was ‘my god, look at the state of me, this is so embarrassing, won’t you take me home?’ It’s kind of addressing another person and kind of addressing myself from the perspective of the morning after. I had those lyrics for a while and while working with Tommy McLaughlin on the record he jokingly said we should call the album Sh*tshow and I vowed to work that word into a lyric so it perfectly fit into this song. It’s about looking back on a night out with regret while also addressing and apologising to an ex-partner about my antics. The first verse is to myself and the second verse is to someone else. It’s kind of a tongue in cheek examination of a bad hangover.”
