blushing basics: Summertime Style With Ben Bridge Jewelry

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Ben Bridge Jeweler for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.

There's just something about an accessory, am I right?! It can complete an outfit, it can tie an outfit together, it can glam something up or dress something down. A piece of jewelry has the power to create an impact and define a style. As a mother our time is limited and often that means we leave the least amount of time for ourselves. I am a firm believer in the idea of taking just a moment before leaving the house and selecting a necklace, earrings or maybe just some bracelets to help me not only complete my outfit but also to make me feel my best.

Let's be real, when you look good, you feel good. That has always been true for me. Of course there are days where I don't have the energy to get 'dressed' and I end up spending the day in my scrubbies, but when I take the time to pick out an outfit and accessorize I feel great. Something as simple as a tassel necklace (one of my go-to favorites) and a subtle pair of earrings, or skip the subtle and go for statement. Whichever I choose I feel confident when I take those few minutes to take care of myself.

I put together this post in partnership with Ben Bridge jewelry. Ben Bridge curates collections of quality jewelry made to withstand the trials of everyday life. By purchasing only exceptional metals and gemstones, Ben Bridge ethically sources these items from their countries of origin. They work with accomplished artisans to create their exclusive collections and they only carry pieces from select brands who have been similarly recognized for their level of craftsmanship.

I love that the jewelry featured in this photos are great for any life moment. Whether I am playing outside with my kiddos or dressing up for a date with my husband, these gorgeous pieces of jewelry can amp up an outfit but have the quality to withstand life with kids. When it comes to shopping for jewelry I want to know that I can wear it without stressing that it may get damaged by my little sweethearts. I may be projecting a bit of blame on them when in reality I can be a bit harsh on jewelry myself. I have a tendency to tackle projects and realize a little too late that it may have been wiser to remove my jewelry first. I rest easy with this Ben Bridge jewelry knowing it can withstand 'life'.

In addition to the durability of the jewelry let's take a moment to recognize just how gorgeous it is. With a wide variety of styles available there is something to suit everyone regardless of your personal taste. Ben Bridge creates beautiful, quality jewelry worthy of your everyday life.
