Knuckle Up!

Knuckle Rings are the latest jewelry trend and this up and coming brand is literally all the rage right now...

21 Boho Street creator, Krystin Marie was getting blown up on Instagram for her super trendy, super cute copper coil knuckle rings...and for good reason














After meeting with this new designer, I fell in love. Her pieces are affordable, versatile, and completely addictive. She told me she was sick and tired of spending a fortune on knuckle rings that would only fall off and get lost off her finger, so she set out to design her own. Layering up is the ideal look with all different coils, lengths, and metals...as you can see i simply could not help myself after seeing all of her designs
All rings are made with copper wire with permanent color, they are tarnish resistant and are nickel free- this means it wont turn your finger green! Also Krystin uses 16 gauge wiring which is thicker than normal knuckle rings which give them better shape and are less prone to breakage. 

Heres a sneak peek at some gemstone prototypes, that will be making a debut soon, they are absolutely so perfect!
You can contact Krystin Marie at 21bohostreet@gmail.com or her instagram.. @21BohoStreet
Keep your eye out for 21 Boho Street, because i am completely obsessed

The Skinny Latte...Not So Skinny


The Starbucks Skinny Latte, a huge trend since its 2010 debut but is it really that skinny?

Being a loyal Starbucks patron and Skinny Latte addict, finding out how healthy it really turned out to be was a mission.

as they say on their website "the proof is in the pudding" it is true it is a skinnier version of a latte, but it has no nutritional value and quite frankly leaves you quite unfulfilled. By substituting skim milk instead of whole milk you are cutting calories but its the whole milk that actually fills you up, thus decreasing your hunger in between breakfast in lunch. Consuming these skinny lattes you find yourself more inclined to snack or eat thus practically canceling out the cutting of calories. When in doubt at Starbucks, always go for Iced Green Tea, its a sure thing.

In Love Right Now..

Pre Summer Pastels

If you haven't noticed pastel nails are trending hard right now, they can add a pop of color while maintaing a subtle tone. Two of my current favorites are Essie's "Bond with Whomever" (left) & "A Crewed Interest" (right)

And one nail trend i find myself using multi-season is the always crisp, always clean white gel manicure. Versatile for casual and dressy occasions, you can never go wrong and can always find a perfect outfit to set off its stark white hue
