Earlier this year I came across a new-to-me jewelry designer, Jennifer Rodgers of Slantt, on Instagram and I was instantly a fan. My husband gave me the Freya earrings from her last collection for my 30th birthday, and since then they have been my go-tos for everything from special occasions to everyday wear. Without a doubt, they are the most versatile and striking earrings I own. Jennifer recently released her Winter 2017 collection, Amalfi, and it’s more beautiful than I imagined.

“Guided by a modern and organic sensibility, her jewelry is designed to be distinct while speaking to the individuality of the wearer. Interaction, form, and process are the designer’s focus, and the line continues to evolve while remaining close to the core ideals of modernism and the careful practice of a small studio.” –Jennifer Rodgers, Slantt

Each piece is handmade by Jennifer in her Austin, TX studio with a focus on ethical and sustainable techniques and materials. The Amalfi collection features hand formed, cut, and hammered silver and brass with soft curves and waves–like earrings in contrasting shapes and textures that can move with you for a bit of drama, or bracelets and rings that feel grounded and bold with their organic ridges and folds. These elegant silhouettes offer dimension and personality–everything you could want in a statement piece. See the entire collection here and be sure to browse more of Jennifer’s gorgeous goods.

When I won a gift card from Goodwin several weeks ago, I knew exactly what I wanted to spend it on. There were several sneak peeks on Instagram of a dusty rose top that I couldn’t stop thinking about. When Goodwin’s Fall collection dropped (it’s so good), I snatched one up quickly, and I’m so glad I did! I tend to skew towards black, cream, and tan, but I didn’t realize quite how limited my wardrobe palette is until several people mentioned what a great new color this is on me. Often I admire certain hues on others but never feel like they fit into my wardrobe–I can’t see myself in them. I’m excited to know I was wrong. Not only is the color beautiful, but the top, made by Hackwith Design House exclusively for Goodwin, is one of those double duty pieces that my life and limited clothing budget requires. Made of a soft, comfortable textured cotton, the Aysha top is reversible and the flattering wrap silhouette and balloon sleeves mean it easily makes a statement. I’ve reached for it several times since it arrived. It’s a stunning piece with thoughtful details, both playful and sophisticated, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with it. This top is sold out, but another limited batch is coming soon in a different color. I definitely see more wrap tops in my future, and more from the always stunning collections at Goodwin!
