When it comes to accessorizing, less is more for me. Don’t get me wrong – I love bulky bling especially for big events, but for most looks, I feel that a gaudy necklace or a pair of loud earrings can sometimes overpower my outfit or makeup. Lucky for me, the trend from statement to subtle has been going strong for several seasons now and today I want to share with you my favorite dainty pieces that I got from Sequin*.

Known for unique pieces that embody contemporary chic with a romantic edge, Sequin is a design studio based in NYC (did I tell you already that I have a sweet spot in my heart for companies founded in NYC? 😉 ). When browsing through their website, I immediately got drawn to their Star Maps Collection. The collection features the twelve astrological signs with beautifully detailed interpretations of constellations and zodiac symbols. While I have never been a person who reads or believes (as a matter of fact) in horoscopes, I must say that I somehow identify with my zodiac, which is Scorpio. Well, I know what you’re thinking now. “What’s the first rule of trying to understand a Scorpio? Don’t.” Haha! I agree, it’s not the easiest sign… and it’s sometimes actually referred to as the darkest sign.. but to be honest, I find a lot of features that are often attributed to scorpios in me: I’m determined, intense (at times), passionate about achieving goals and I always feel the need to be in control (my hubby can attest to that 😉 ).

Nevertheless, I immediately fell in love with this beautiful Scorpio necklace that features the Scorpio Constellation charm. It’s made of 22K gold-plated brass with antique finish and crystal details. I paired it with a matching Scorpio cuff bracelet. Talking about power couple!

Since I think your accessories should be just as unique as you are, I also got a necklace with my initial on it. I absolutely adore its studded crystal accents.
