Mint-Spiration: The Serpentine Infinity Knot + Serpentine Drop Knot!

You may remember my original Serpentine Bracelet photos (in this post here) from awhile back. I've been loving this necklace as a bracelet ever since!

Today, I decided to try a few other ways of switching it up...

In the first photo, you can see how I've knotted this necklace bracelet into an overstated knot! I like to call this the Serpentine Infinity Knot.

The second photo kind of just happened when I was playing around with it a little more...this is pretty much just like the first knot except instead of feeding the other side through, I let the knot hang down instead. I'm also tempted to attached my second serpentine to the two links of the first necklace to create a Serpentine Knot Necklace - I think that would look AMAZING! What do you think this version of the Serpentine bracelet should be called? Maybe the Serpentine Drop Knot?

I love this because...
There are so many ways you can mix this necklace up. If you already own this necklace, you should try it out!

Hey everyone! I just want to give a quick thanks to Dee for sending me a message on Facebook about some of JewelMint's latest releases. Also, a super huge thanks to her for sharing my JewelMint Jabber link with others over on JM's Facebook Page. :)

Here are the newest pieces to be restocked:

Bella Flora Earrings
Gehry Cuff
Humanity Bracelet
New Heights Bracelet
Piet Earrings
Petit Coeur Necklace
Serpentine Necklace
Soulmate Bangle
Zoe Bangle

I also want to let everyone that I'm going to be taking some time this upcoming weekend to really focus on updating all of my blogs including archives, updates, and references! These updates will include easier navigation, and a few other things I have planned that I think will really make the whole "Mints" experience that much better!

In the meantime, I'll be focusing mainly on Mint Mail, Restock Notifications, and the Trade Posts until the updates are complete.

Hope you have a wonderful and safe weekend!

xoxo, Lily

JewelMint Mail: Enviable Arm Candy + $7 OFF 2 of Our Favorite Bracelets! | Trend Report

Photo: Jewelmint

Here's a rundown of this morning's Trend Report we received from JewelMint!

• Join in on the "arm parties" craze with JewelMint's New Heights Bracelet. "Mingling friendship bracelets, bungee cord bracelets, and a few mixed metal pieces make for a modern silhouette."
• JewelMint suggests giving a "memorable keepsake" such as the Love That Binds Bracelet of the For Keeps Bracelet as a fabulous gift for that fabulous friend. 
• For the next 24 hours get $7 off both bracelets using Promo Code: CNDY7 (Code is also confirmed working for other pieces as well).
• JewelMint encourages us to check them out on Twitter and on Facebook and includes a few quotes from...Hey! Wait a minute...Kavita, is that you??? Kavita is quoted as saying "I've been exposed to a lot of different styles (and ways to style jewelry) that I didn't know about before." Kavita is a friend of this blog, and I'm assuming that is the Kavita being that her name isn't all that common. K, if you're reading this...let me know if that is indeed you! ;)
• JewelMint's latest Guest Editor is none other than Refinery29's Editor-in-Chief, Christene Barberich! Her favorite JewelMint pieces include the New Heights Bracelet, World's End Earrings, and the Serpentine Necklace! You'll notice she's sporting the Serpentine with the clasp in front. See more on JewelMint's Style Diary Blog here.
• JewelMint features a few snapshots uploaded to their Facebook page of their fans showing off their own "arm party" creations! Upload your own photo because "2 lucky winners will get 5 pieces of Free JewelMint."

In addition, I checked out JewlMint's blog featuring Christene Barberich - it's a fun Q&A article and you'll find a very similar photo of Christine as seen in the email. However, I did some digging and found an extra (hidden) photo that for some reason isn't featured in the post, at least not as of this morning. I was absolutely dying to see a close-up of the bracelets she paired with New Heights.

Here it is....

I'm loving that middle bracelet! Apparently they are "vintage bracelets from her grandmother", according to the article. Love.

Back Home from a Fabulous Father's Day Weekend Getaway!!!

Boy, do I have so much to talk about this week!!! This past weekend was a fun-filled one with a beautiful trip upstate. I took a couple days off from blogging (with the exception of the Sunday Exchange post) and had a relaxing barbecue with friends and family. We even enjoyed yesterday evening out on the lake to celebrate Father's Day!

I wore my white bandeau bikini (as planned) with my beautiful Astoria Necklace and received so many nice compliments! Over the bikini I wore khaki bungalow pants, a super-soft white tissue tank, and brown Vachetta leather sandals. On my wrist, my Serpentine Necklace (as seen here).

I hope everyone had a great weekend, and while this weekend was a great one...I'm happy to be home!

Upon my return, I was greeted with JewelMint packages including a lot of this past week's re-releases! I'm so thrilled with my orders and let me tell you, the Poseidon Disc Necklace and Romantic Pine Pendant are both gorgeous! I'll be posting photos soon after I finish unpacking (you know, the worst part of taking vacations is always the loads of laundry that must be done when you return home). ;)

xoxo, Lily

JewelMint's Serpentine Necklace - Photos (Psst...you can wear it as bracelet too!!)

Who would have thought JewelMint's Serpentine Necklace would have been so versatile??? I seriously love it, hope this helps inspire you on how to wear it!

(Update: If it doesn't fit when it is completely wrapped, try the twisting or "braiding" method as seen in the last two photos. You can work with it and try out different possibilities!)

P.S. I love doing my styling reviews still, but they do take a lot of time and effort. So I just wanted to let everyone know that I will still be doing my styling review videos and/or video tutorials 1-2 times a week, and I now plan on posting photos (similar to this and the Astoria Necklace photos I posted the other day) every 2-3 days!!! These photos will include JewelMint's latest pieces mixed in with some older ones!! :D
