According to TSA guidelines if you are bringing jewelry you can add it to your carry on so its close to you or place it in your checked luggage. If you're travelling with a lot of high end jewelry it is advised to place it in your carry on instead of checking it.
We have a few travel cases to suit your jewelry needs that fits easily without taking up much space in your carry on or checked luggage.

I recently travelled a few times this summer through TSA and Canada using the Black Jewelry case and it fit both in my carry on and in my checked luggage without taking up much space, without any damage to my pieces or adding weight to my luggage. The case was sturdy and I was able to bring a lot of jewelry pieces for all the looks I was serving.

There are so many great jewelry trends for 2022 and in this series I will be introducing you to each of them showcased in one post at a time. Todays showcase will be on Chain Link Necklaces.
Large linked necklaces are on trend this year because it gives you that bold statement look at affordable prices. Chain link necklaces cane be in the form of a "rope chain" consisting of a two chains intertwined together to form a rope. They can be small or large - an ode to the 80s and that fashion era.
Our Cuban Link Necklace is the perfect mix of bold statement piece and everyday luxury that can be worn with a blazer or with a blouse, jeans and heels. You can layer it with a name plate necklaces or a pendant necklace or on it's own.

We have a number of layered and pendant necklaces that go beautifully with this statement necklace.
How would you wear this piece? On its own or with another necklace?
]]>Let me show you how!
We all know when you look good you feel good so its now wonder many experts tell us WFH (work from home) people to dress for your day despite having a commute that spans from your bedroom to your dining room table. BUT...the comfort of sleepwear, workout pants and sweats is a temptation all too rich to pass up. Well, why not have the best of both worlds. Its called, Zoom Dressing; work at the top, leisure wear comfort at the bottom.
How does one do this? Glad you asked. Just pair your favorite work blouse or shirt, earrings, necklace and hair clip (good for days where you dont want to comb your hair but still look like you did!) and your favorite comfy pants or shorts and voila! You have now dressed to impress for your morning Zoom or Teams meeting!
This gives you a semblance of "normalcy" in an abnormal time which boosts work productivity, self esteem and confidence.
--Now I can't speak for that Corporate poker face we all used to have pre-pandemic but at least it helps you look put together while you struggle not to make a face during the team meeting LOL
How can you do this? Well below are some helpful tips on how to dress for your day...to work from home!
1. layering necklaces - a soft feminine necklace such as the Shawna Necklace or the or the Chloe Necklace is perfect pairing with your work top. Its professional and gives you that put together look without the fuss.
2. Small earrings - adding a small hoop earring or huggie is another feminine way to look and feel put together and ready to tackle your day. You can keep them on all day and run errands on your lunch or after work and look and feel put together while doing both. Check out our Kerry Earrings, Carrie Hoops and Chelsea Earrings for style options that work with this look.
3. Rings - I like to wear one or two rings per hand (not all at the same time) to give me a nice corporate look without coming off gaudy. Perfect examples are The Gold Leaf Ring, Joanna Ring or Porsha. Soft feminine yet impactful.
I hope you enjoyed these tips and ideas on how to Zoom Dress! Let me know how you like to dress for your work meetings while you WFH!
Talk to you soon!
]]>Well, I have a few tips to help you achieve the same effortless elegance and style.
Posture
I know our moms and grandmas always used to tell us to sit up straight but turns out they were onto something. Posture is not only is good for your body but it conveys a clear message of sophistication, class and elegance. It sends a signal that you are well groomed no only physically but socially as well. And lets face it, Prada never looks good on a bent mannequin when your shopping for it in store so why would you want to dress up in your best only to crease your clothing unnecessarily by slouching?
Good posture is standing or sitting up straight, shoulders relaxed and head held straight forward. Practice makes perfect so even though it might feel uncomfortable at first, repetition will have it feeling as natural as it did when you didn't practice good posture.
Grooming
The more well put together you look the more people will take notice of you. That means making sure your hair is well combed and groomed. You don't need to get a $150 wash and dry at the salon but it does mean it should show that you put effort in how your hair is styled.
Chipped nail polish and broken manicure sets will ruin any look whether its a $25,000 look or a outfit you put together from H&M. So ladies, make sure your nails are well manicured, even length (short or medium length is ideal - extra long nails does not convey elegance). Sticking to neutral colors like beige, pink or ivory looks best. Darker colors are very nice just make sure if your nail polish starts to chip or fade make sure you re-apply or get a fresh manicure.
Invest in good products for skincare. Skin is actually an initial indicator of class and elegance. If you suffer from acne, rosacea book an appointment with a good dermatologist and begin a regimen to put you on the road to clear and even skin. Make up is a quick fix however it won't hide bumpy skin. Investing in good skincare products will pay its return in dividends.
Makeup
An elegant makeup look lends more towards a more "natural" make up look then a evening night type of makeup routine. 2021 make up trends lends more to the dewy soft look with red or neutral lips, blush, slight bronzer and a natural feathered eyebrow. Soft brown liner has replaced black eyeliner and black mascara.
Instead of a heavy contour utilizing blush and light bronzer is the the way to create a nice "natural" dewy glow for the season.
Jewelry & Wardrobe
This years jewelry trends lends more towards dainty feminine then last years statement pieces. Now don't get me wrong, I LOVE a statement earring but now that we've all been locked inside has taught us that if you have a favorite pair of earrings, necklace and ring you don't need a special occasion to wear them. Just wear it because it makes you feel good and let's face it we all deserve to feel good at any given time after being locked up for so long.
Once you've settled on wearing your favorite jewelry pieces pair them with clothing that is tailored to your specific body and shape. Tailoring can be expensive so now might be a great time to go through your existing wardrobe and start pairing down pieces that no longer look and feel as good as when you first bought them. Once you've done that its always a great idea to get your pants, jeans, tops and dresses tailored so they fit your body in a more flattering way. A well tailored outfit no matter how expensive or inexpensive it might have been will always add to a look of elegance because it fits you perfectly.
Last Thoughts:
Look, creating an aura of elegance by tailoring your clothing, cleaning up your grooming practices and getting clear skin so your dewy natural makeup looks effortless is great but if you don't do the inner work to make sure the outside matches the inside then your efforts will be a waste of time.
Truly elegant people know how to read the room, communicate, they understand social cues and they don't make missteps that seem innocent to most but could mean social ostracization in the circles you are trying to move in. I've seen it time and time again. A wrong word, a misplaced "compliment" or even trying too hard to fit in by saying things that show you are not truly elegant has resulted in many people missing the mark and finding themselves on the outside wondering why they are suddenly not in anymore.
Elegance is more than a look, it's a mindset and its a carefully cultivated lifestyle. If you truly want to be a memorable and elegant woman be sure to do the inner work that will not only get you into the desired circles you crave but keep you there. True elegance creates an experience that people crave long after you've left the room.
Until next time dolls.

Big hair, natural hair, hoops, chunky bracelets, resin rings, anklets and bold colored shades!
]]>Has anyone else seen how the 70's Vibe of being Free, Unapologetic and Bold is coming back? Am I the only one loving it?
Big hair, natural hair, hoops, chunky bracelets, resin rings, anklets and bold colored shades!
Well if you love the wild and free look then you will love what the 70's represented and their contribution to the World of Fashion! One of the most iconic things was the introduction of Hoop Earrings. Earrings so big they could double as bracelets!
I'm talking about unapologetic expressions of style of femininity that was unmistakingly woman. Here at the Diana Tracy Collection we LOVE Hoop Earrings. Whether you like them large and in charge with big curly hair or with a low ponytail or small and petite while you sip on lattes with friends at brunch we've definitely got you covered on all things hoops!

The key is in the connector chain!
]]>The key is in the connector chain!
Yes, that's right? You know that 2 inch chain at the end that allows you to make your necklace as tight or as loose as you want? Yes that! The key to layering is keeping this ratio in mind
14" - 16" - 20"
That means your shortest necklace should be a maximum of 14" including utilizing the extender) this can be your choker chain (add a cute pendant or detail on it to make it interesting), then add a 16" statement chain as the second layer. I typically choose a chain that has maybe a flower or an initial or even a pendant. Then to round it out your 3rd chain should be 20" so your leaving enough room for all chains to lay together without tangling.
Voila! Now not only did you create a unique look but your chains won't tangle and will flow freely and look amazing!

]]>Its all about the Earring!
Yep, statement earrings never really went out of style but considering that half our faces are covered in a mask one of the only ways we can show off our individual style is with a statement earring. So don't be afraid to wear those big hoops, and big statement earrings such as the Maria Earrings. Big Red Rhinestone encrusted earrings that are throw backs to 1992 are what we are talking about for this Spring Bling season.

Heavy Metal Life
Chains, chains and lots of chains is really on trend for Spring 2021. Chunky statement pieces like the Double Chain Farrah Necklace, the Queens Coin Choker and the Nephtali Necklace featuring double and triple layer chains is both beautiful and screams, "Confident Queen"

That 90's Vibe
Low rise jeans and wide bottom jeans are back (I literally bought like 3 pairs as soon as I found out) and what goes better with low rise jeans then charmed bracelets. No, not the ones your mom and grandma wear from Pandora NO! These are a ode to Cesar and the Roman empire because they feature coins which are totally on trend for 2021. In a time where we are trying hard to create the best out of a lockdown and pandemic these coin bracelets are said to symbolize creating your own luck.

1. Keep it dry.
Jewelry that comes in contact with moisture and liquids will cause your jewelry to tarnish quickly including coming in contact with lotions, perfumes, or even prolonged exposure to sweating. If they do get wet by accident simply wipe them off with a dry cloth and store them away in the box they came in or in your jewelry box.
2. Proper Storage.
Ideally your jewelry should be stored in the box it came in or in your jewelry box (we have some great ones on the site!). This is the best way to keep it dry, dust free and away from moisture and spritz and sprays (perfumes, humidifiers, room spritz's etc) that will lead to tarnishing.
3. Switch up the pieces you wear so you give them a break
I know we all have that one piece that is our favorite but its good to switch up the pieces you wear so you get the longest wear out of all of them.
If you treat your jewelry with love and care it will last for a long time.
Till next time Dolls!

Today I wanted to talk about Gold Plating, what it is and what does it mean to purchase a piece that is 18k Gold Plated. Plating is a method of depositing a thin layer of gold onto a base metal such as copper, silver, aluminum, or stainless steel by a method called electroplating.
18K Gold indicates how much pure gold is added onto a base metal. 18K Gold plated rings, necklaces or bracelets have a thin layer of 75% pure gold deposited on them. Customers should remember that gold plated accessories are made of very durable materials, like copper and silver mentioned before, which means that such pieces of jewelry are also quite Tarnish and Fade resistant.
So, if you love golden jewelry, like earrings or bracelets, purchasing 18K Gold Plated jewelry will be the perfect choice. What’s more it can also be a nice gift for a dear friend or family member who also like to complete their outfit with great looking jewelry.
Talk to you soon!

Nowadays lounge wear has become our everyday wardrobe. Many of us work from home (WFH) and it can get easy to get stuck in a rut of sweaters, t-shirts and joggers (or leggings). It can really make an impact on your mental health especially if your used to dressing up and going into the office cause well...your a hot girl being dressed down with your hair in a messy ponytail in front of a computer Monday to Friday is something your not used to. Well I have some tips on how to jazz up your joggers and t-shirts to help you look good, feel good and actively participate in self care!
When we run errands its easy to slip into the habit of throwing on a jacket, runners and rushing out the door (Don't forget the mask!) but taking a moment to let your hair down, add in a pair of small hoop earrings and throw on a p coat is a great way to take your loungewear from "I hope no one sees me" to "I'm super cute under this mask but for now you can see this preview in my outfit" right away. Try it!
Believe it or not adding leather boots to a knit skirt or joggers is really sexy. For example
Add a leather bag along with your jacket and you will look super cute.
Color blocking is another way to look really cute in your lounge wear at home. Throw your hair up in a pony tail, add a headband, or some stud earrings and your cute and ready for your Zoom/Teams meeting.
While we quarantine and stay safe so we can all come together in the future I would be remise if I didn't admonish you all to take care of your mental health as much as you are safe guarding your physical health by social distancing, staying at home and staying healthy.
We are all in this together.
Next post will be on what earrings look good with earrings. Bet you didn't know there are earrings that go better with certain face shapes! Stay tuned!
]]>
Now that we are all in Quarantine with no where to go lounge wear has become the fashion statement for 2021. Here are some creative ways to dress up your loungewear and feel your best when your at home taking a Zoom call for work or running errands.
1. Leather Boots
Leather Boots are a great way to dress up sweat pants or a knit two piece outfit. Throw on a choker, small hoop earrings and a bracelet and your look is complete!
2. Uniform Color Blocking
Keeping your colors the same on the top and bottom gives you a cohesive look elevated look. If your wearing a zippered hoodie opt to leave it open showing off a white or neutral top. Add a single layer or pendant necklace, hoops and a baguette ring and your golden!
3. Dress it up with a Blazer
Adding a Blazer to a jogger set or a knit skirt is a great way to dress up your loungewear. Add a layered necklace, drop or hoops earrings and a bracelet stack and your look is set!

]]>One of the many things that the 1980's blessed us with including bad rocker hair and electric tights is the puff sleeve and designers are bringing it back for 2018! You will begin to notice a lot more shirts and dresses with puff sleeves on them whether it is an off the shoulder puff sleeve dress or shirt just know the puff is taking over! I know what your thinking and I get it; I cringed too when I heard the news because my mind instantly went to padded shoulders hair band screaming obscenities into a mic (if that's your thing) but its not like that. Think Lady Diana and all her regalness and you will see that the puff in 2018 is not a bad thing at all.
I actually really like the new designs that I've been seeing in stores lately that in my opinion can be rocked with a cute pair of shorts or mini skirt and heels. Check out some looks below and go into your local mall and try on a few pieces. You will be pleasantly surprised at how cute it looks.
So, what goes nicely with a puff sleeve? Well earrings and bangles from our new SS 2020 Collection of course (duh!) LOL! Check out some simple pieces that can easily transition from day to night while complimenting your outfit.
And there you have it. Have you begun to see The Puff Sleeve trend in your local stores? What do you think of it? Do you think you can rock a Puff Sleeve? Let me know in the comments below and I will talk to you in our next edition of The Style Collective!

3 Key Mistakes to Avoid When Picking Jewelry for your Wardrobe
1. Over accessorizing your wrist wear
No matter what your style is be it flashy or simple too many bracelets on one wrist is never a good look. The general rule of thumb should be that your bracelet selection should compliment your look and not compete for attention with your wardrobe. Pieces with a hint of sparkle should be worn either alone on your wrist or be complimented with your choice in solid color or metal watch. The flashier the piece the more solid in color and metal type your watch should be. For example if your watch has a lot of big flashy diamonds in it, your bracelet should not contain an equal amount of bling. It might seem like it goes together in theory but it will come off gawdy and overwhelming instead of classy and dapper. Stick to a maximum of 3 (and depending on the style, color and size of the bracelet that may be pushing it) bracelets at most on your wrist.
If your style is more simple you should stick to no more than 1 simple piece on your wrist with color selection that again compliments your outfit. A Macrame piece like the one from our upcoming Macrame Collection or a beaded bracelet are great choices to add that touch of compliment to your outfit.
2. Choosing pieces that aren't Masculine.
In todays society where blurring the lines in fashion is on trend there is something to be said about distinguishing yourself from the crowd and standing out.
You cannot go wrong with choosing beaded bracelets, leather bracelets or solid metal bracelet be it gold, silver or rose gold. Make sure whatever Metal you choose not only compliments the color your wearing but is uniquely masculine such as leather piece featuring a single focal piece such as an arrow, fish hooks or spiritual markings. All of these choices are great masculine pieces to compliment an outfit.
When you choose a great piece you can wear it alone or stack it but most of the time a well placed piece with the right outfit is all the style statement you need for the perfect look.
3. Improper Care & Storage
Jewelry is an investment and storing and caring for it properly will ensure the longevity of the piece. That being said avoid washing your hands exposing your pieces to prolonged periods of being submersed in water. This includes not taking a shower in your piece - especially the gold plated pieces. This will ensure maximum longevity.

SO why not think positively and plan ahead for what we will be wearing while we order another Porn Star while we bask on the luxury beach chairs by the beach? Right?? Well, nows a good time so here we go! Since no two body types are the same not every look will flatter every figure. Check out these 8 styles that will surely flatter your body type
Figure Type: Long Torso
One piece bathing suits look awesome on a woman with a long torso. In fact, the one-piece bathing suit has come a long way in the past year from the frumpy days of old. They are not sexy and very stylish and can give you that figure flattering bombshell look that you crave for that poolside or beach outing. The rule of thumb is to try and avoid chunky patterns that run length wise up and down your torso. Here are a few ideas
Figure Type: Curvy
Underwire tops and high waisted bottoms are your best bet with this figure type. This summer there are a lot of sexy high waisted bathing suits that look amazing on women with curves in all the right places. Don't be afraid to flaunt those curves in a sexy 2-piece high waisted number. Check out these looks for style inspiration
Figure type: Petitie or small busted
The triangle bikini is perfect for the petite figure type. It offsets your petite torso and elongates your legs. Check out these style examples.
With all these swimsuit types, accessories are a must to add so your looking your best while you live your best life in that sexy bathing suit! So you know I got some perfect pieces to help you do that right? Check out these style suggestions from our collection

It's nerve racking. Adding onto that mental strain is the constant news updates on the latest death rates, press conferences where the government updates us on what they don't know is a possible job loss or the strain of working from home, homeschooling your children or taking care of elderly parents who don't live at home. It sucks. It's hard and it can drain the life out of you. But there is hope. I'm going to share with you some Self-Care Tips to help you cope during these uncertain times to help you get through this Global Pandemic.
Don't be hard on yourself
Alot of memes are floating around telling people if they are not taking advantage of this downtime to come out better then they wasted their time. That's very untrue. Everyone is different and no one can predict how they will react during a time like this. It's ok to not feel well about it. It's ok to feel uncertain and to wonder. It's ok to not be having a good day or even acknowledge that you aren't dealing with it very well. You are human. Give yourself permission to feel what you feel...just don't allow yourself to wallow in it for too long.
Keep a Routine
Try writing out a daily routine of tasks for yourself to give you some semblance of normalcy. I know. What if your normal routine was work and now you've been laid off? I was once given great advice and that was to wake up at your normal time as if you were going to work, shower, eat breakfast and when your work day would've normally started begin your job search. Now is also a good time to learn a new skill set to build up your resume and Lynda.com through Linkedin has some great courses you can take to add to your resume. Take advantage of it at your own pace. Don't forget to take a lunch then finish at your normal time and go do something else. Watch TV. Go for a walk something. The routine will help you to not fall into a black hole of going to bed late and waking up late leaving you feeling unproductive and making the days blur one into another.
Get sleep
It seems like a small thing but sleep can make the difference between taking this well and feeling like you are going to lose your mind. If you normally get 7 hours of sleep try to maintain that sleep pattern. Go to bed at a descent time and aim to wake up at the same time everyday.
Other people might not be taking this well either
I know we all feen for the "good ol days" when all we worried about was keeping our new years resolutions, hanging with friends and planning birthdays and weddings but not everyone is still feeling normal. Some people, even those we thought were strong might not be handling this well privately. Try to be patient and supportive. Try not to take it personally if someone isn't up for a quick telephone chat or replying to your text.
Positive Self Talk
You believe 99% of what you say to yourself. Speak kindly to yourself. Speak life over yourself. Use positive words even when you make mistakes. Be kind to yourself because it will help to elevate your mood. If you're having a bad day that is ok. If you make a mistake or you're not handling the kids being a little cranky that's ok too. You're human you're not failure because you're not reacting or handling something as gracefully or as well as you would expect.
Limit the News
I know we all want to stay informed but there is only so much of CNN, Global News, CP24 and World Today News you can take before it starts to take a toll. A good tip would be to take in what you need to know and turn the channel for the rest. It takes some time to figure it out and its easy to get sucked into one news story after another. Maybe small bites of the news is all you can handle and that is ok. The news is there to inform but sometimes you have to limit your consumption. The same holds true for social media sites like Instagram, Facebook, Reddit and the like.
Get Social while Staying Apart.
Reconnect with old friends via Netflix Party or apps called House Party. Arrange group chats on Facetime or Whatsapp. Watch an old movie, re-watch a tv series or start a new one. Now is a great time to arrange show/movie reviews and reconnect with others to critique and discuss.
Clean your Space
Getting rid of old clutter is so freeing not only for your physical space but for your mental health as well. There is something about tackling that closet, rearranging a bedroom, finally getting around to that paint job you've been meaning to tackle that really helps you feel better.
Get out for Fresh Air!
While maintaining a safe distance of 6 ft between you and anyone you don't live with go outside and take in the fresh air. Go for a walk, a jog or a run. Walk the dog. Do something to keep yourself active. Fresh air does wonders.
These are just a few things you can do to help cope during these times. Just remember you are not alone. We are all in this together. Stay safe everyone!

How Stylish are you? Is it the same as being fashionable? How can you tell the difference? Well if you've ever struggled with knowing the difference or not sure which is which, this two minute post is for you.
First things first. Fashion is what you buy and style is how you wear it. Now does that mean buying expensive things automatically means your stylish? No. Style is how you wear your fashion. When you understand the rules of how things fit together you can buy any kind of fashion (suit, dress, tie etc) and put it together in a way that is very stylish. But don't fret if you don't know the difference just yet. Evolving into a stylish man or woman takes time and practice. It takes time to learn the rules and then how to adapt them to your body, your tastes and your interests. Some basic tips for knowing the rules are to dress for the occasion. That's it. Don't wear a suit to a casual occasion such as a BBQ but do wear dress pants and a nice shirt to an event that requires you to dress up a bit more like a baby shower. Things like that. Knowing the rules will help you to develop your style as you figure out what works for you.
Rule of thumb to keep in mind is Fashion is what you pay for but Style is how you wear it. Don't be afraid to experiment with different pieces to figure out what works best for you while you evolve your personal Style. Then once you find it, wear it with confidence. That's what will add that extra IT Factor and give you "swag" with your look.
Until next time!
