RETAIL RECOMMENDATION: SWELL CAROLINE

What up, suckers? TGIF, amiright? Of course I am. And since it is, in fact, Friday, it's time for another Retail Recommendation, where I tell you where to spend all the money that I'm not allowed to spend responsibly saving like an adult.

Swell Caroline is an AWESOME online establishment that sells all kinds of stuff jewelry and bags, basically. But their jewelry and bags are so amazing that that's all they need to sell, OK? The store is probably best known for its monogram items such as this beautiful tortoiseshell necklace:

Or these earrings that I must must must own.


Or this charm bracelet which I find, well, very charming (sorry, I couldn't resist):



Of course, you know me. If it doesn't have a face, I'll put a monogram on it. So needless to say, I adore all of the monogram stuff from Swell Caroline, but they offer so much more. For example, horsey-type items like this horsebit necklace:

And this bracelet, which I shamelessly covet (and which comes in a bunch of different colors):


They also have incredible earrings:

Turquoise, gold and diamonds? What more, really, can you ask from a piece of jewelry? Nothing, I say. Nothing.

Can you tell I'm a little into tortoiseshell right now?

These are adorable and will obviously confer good luck on the wearer. If you already have enough earrings (or luck), don't worry:

Look at that fish! So cute!

Navy and gold? I think we've covered that! There are also plenty of bangles, but I have freakishly small  wrists so bangles don't really work for me, but you should totally check them out.

They have necklaces, too, which aren't really my thing, but I can see how these are great if necklaces happen to do it for you:




Let's not forget rings:


Sparkly starfish ring? Yes, please!


Stretchy turtle ring? Don't mind if I do!

And bags! Look at this:




Sure, it looks like just an awesome bag, but it's also a cooler. Get it? A COOLER. As in, it can keep your drinks cool. Get it? GENIUS.


This one doesn't have the added perk of keeping your beverages frosty, but it's a pretty handy zip-top weekend tote, don't you think?

So that's it. And the best part? None of this stuff is more than $50 (except the necklaces and I've already told you how I feel about necklaces). They also have beautiful pins, and scarves, and... well, go look for your lazy-ass self. Do I have to do EVERYTHING for you chumps? Just kidding, love you all!
