eye candy
i love a good cocktail. what goes better with cocktails than bling?! i love cocktail rings. i think it stems from my allergy to nickel so i avoided wearing necklaces and earrings for a long time. now there are a lot more companies that make nickel free options so i can go back to buying accessories again. ironically i adore large (and i'm talking large) rings when i'm not wearing them on an everyday basis but, as far as something like a wedding ring (not like i'm getting that one anytime soon btw) i don't want anything big and flashy. i'm sure i'll change my mind when the times comes though.

here are some of my favorite finds along with a delicious drink to go with. if you've got a cocktail in had you have to have a good ring to go with it! (i don't like all of the drinks but i'd accept any of the rings!)


simple, classic

mimosa
3/4 cup champagne, chilled
1/4 cup orange juice

or heck with the juice just pop open the wine bottle






cute and summery
