{reviewed} Towne & Reese

I have a not-so-secret life goal of owning an enviable collection of costume jewelry (real gems also accepted, but financially unrealistic), so when a new company springs up with lust-worthy designs, you know I'm on board. Last year Christi Pack and Jessica Stanfield launched Towne & Reese, a jewelry line featuring on-trend designs, each under $50. When the ladies over at Towne & Reese offered to send over a couple of items for review, I couldn't resist - especially when the baubles remind me of two summer loves.

As if you're not already cooing, let me add to the cuteness. The company was named after Christi's daughter, Towne, and Jessica's daughter, Reese. Even the jewelry selections share the sentiment with monikers honoring a daughter of a friend. Adorable, right?

Okay, back to the task at hand: fantastically well-made and trendy. I'll be the first to admit that the size of the coral Elise Necklace intimidated me at first, but it has all of the spring essentials: orange and boldly color blocked. It's growing on me quite a bit. As for the Ella earrings, I think there's the promise of an elegant patio dress in their future - especially when they're light enough to wear all evening without aching earlobes.

Stay tuned for a giveaway announcement in a couple of days!
