Check Us Out in the Spring Sundance Catalog!

We are so excited to announce our Modern Quartet necklace will be featured in the spring sundance catalog.

The spring 2015 runways were animated with a variety of rich, brassy hues and boldly brash pieces, making brass the metal of the moment and the Modern Quartet necklace right on trend.

The Modern Quartet necklace is a 4-in-1 necklace featuring brass elements and gorgeous gold and black chains creating a dynamic, layered look. Unique, oblong pendants hang at every length, perfectly accenting collarbones.

Style Tip: Wear the Modern Quartet necklace with an arm stacked high with bracelets, a messy bun and a red lip for an effortlessly put-together look.

We love that when you purchase something from the sundance catalog, not only are you receiving a beautiful piece to enjoy for yourself, but you are also supporting American craftspeople and efforts to enhance and preserve the environment.

Have you gotten on board the brass trend this spring?  We’d love to hear what kind of metals you’re wearing, let us know below.

Trends We Love: Triangular Earrings!

It may still be warm out, but we’re so ready for Fall! The crisp air, turning leaves, the scent of fresh pumpkin pie… we really love the season. According to Vogue (French Vogue, no less) one of the biggest trends for Fall accessories will be triangular earrings. We couldn’t agree more! Check out some of our fave triangular earrings- click each image to shop the collection!

For edgy ensembles, pair a ripped pair of jeans, architectural heels and a vintage band t-shirt with the Flare Earrings.

For everyday shine, pair your favorite comfy pieces (or your classic work attire) with the Monica Earrings, which are super lightweight.

Teen Choice Awards 2014: Looks We Actually Loved

Shay Mitchell vamps up her surprisingly demure lace set with a dark lip. Noted.

Last night the 2014 Teen Choice Awards aired on Fox and millions of teens and tweens tuned in, excited to see their favorite stars walk the blue carpet. Surfboard shaped awards were doled out between performances but we were only paying attention to the fashion. Because crop tops and metallics are actually much more interesting to us than the Vampire Diaries, Pretty Little Liars, et al. But, again, the fashion was fun.

Below we’ve chosen the looks we actually loved and have stored in our mental banks for near-future style inspiration:

Aisha Dee’s white dress looks so comfy- perfect for Celine slip ons and brunch.

Another comfy look, Italia Ricci rocks a one piece we’d love to own.

Janel Parrish brought in Fall appropriate jewel tones- we love the dark palette (ignore the shoes).

We love Jordin Sparks’ high waisted set- perfect for the days we skip the crunches.

For the Teen Choice Awards, Selena Gomez was a snooze but IRL? We’d wear that in a heart beat.

 

Trends We Love: Mismatched Earrings

Sometimes symmetry can a bit mundane. We absolutely love the trend of asymmetrical earrings (as seen basically everywhere from Zosia Mamet to Dior’s Fall runway and everywhere in between.)

Feeling fashion forward? Head over to ceciliagonzales.com and then call or email to order your very own custom set of Heritage or Eclipse collection earrings!

Custom mismatched earrings, as shown above, available via email: info@ceciliagonzales.com // (305) 945-7770

5 Ways to Wear A White Tee

Pair a loose fitting, worn tee with baggy denim cuffed at the ankle and chic heels for a rough yet refined look!

The white T-Shirt is quite arguably one of the very best ways to show off layers of necklaces (aside from a seductive bare neck/chest combo!) However, the white T-Shirt can also get a little, for lack of a better word, boring. Enter: this post! We’ve scoured the web (and thought back to our own past outings) to show you how to wear your crisp whites, worn in favorites, and everything in between in fresh new ways!

So, scroll down and don’t forget to load up on necklaces to layer over your newfound fashion sense!

Pair a basic yet luxe feeling top with sleek leather shorts and pile on the gold chains for the perfect balance of streamlined glamour. Gold accessories up the ante.

Go bold- Wear a bandeau top OVER your tee!

OK so that last look is a little out there, but hey! It’s summer yet we still have places to go that aren’t the pool or beach, so take that bikini with you. We think this looks calls for an extravagant choker. The jewelry must match your apparent bravado.

Want something dressier? Throw that basic shirt on with a high waisted, floor length skirt and your highest heels, put hands on hips and feel the drama like never before.

Need a summer suit for work that can easily transition to happy hour? Put an untucked gauzy tee under a cream-colored, wide leg suit with cool asymmetrical details and look fashion forward on the outside yet feel supremely comfortable on the inside. Pair with a sleek layered necklace and a decidedly messy updo.

All in all, with the right amount of confidence, your favorite white tee can become a fashionable staple in a whole new way. The clean lines and neutral color make it the easiest way to dress anything up or down, with the right accessories.

The Lariat Necklace Shines On Candice Swanepoel for Free People

We’re Getting World Cup Ready!

With the 2014 Fifa World Cup kicking off this Thursday, June 12th, we have been gearing up for the games all week long! From blasting Brazilian Samba music to getting our jerseys ready to cheer on our favorite teams, we’ve really gotten into the spirit. We might even sip a couple caipirinhas after hours!

With teams from every continent and over 30 teams, get ready to see some of the world’s best athletes compete for the prestigious tournament.

Who’s your favorite player? With so many teams, there are many, many celebrity players! Will your favorite win the coveted Adidas Golden Ball?

Not quite sure who to root for? Not quite a hard-core soccer, er Futbol fan? Check out Elle’s list of the hottest players at the World Cup– it just might help you make a decision!

The first game will have Brazil and Croatia in a head to head match up. The stadium will be jam packed with über fans and lucky locals, all hoping to watch history be made. Oh, how we wish we could be in Brazil for the games! For those of you lucky enough to attend the games this year, where will you go first? With just over a month of tournaments, there’s so much time to discover the gorgeous Brazilian landscape in between games!

As if we needed another reason to want to go to Brazil (the beaches alone have us wishing)!

Met Gala 2014: Standout Looks!

The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s annual charity gala came and went like a whirlwind, and the stars really brought their A-game! Designers showed comradery by supporting their peers (i.e. Marc Jacobs wearing Saint Laurent.) Actors and musicians wowed in custom creations, some walking the carpet with the designers. However, the Victoria’s Secret models seemed to prove who does it best, wearing surprisingly stunning Top Shop and classic silhouettes (like Karlie Kloss in De La Renta, opera gloves and all.)

Being that this is THE fashion event of the year for Manhattan and, really, the fashion world, we appreciate over-the-top glamour. We loved seeing new silhouettes and color pairings, separates, and lots of volume. The Olsen Twins donned vintage Chanel, which was an unexpected twist that still offered lots of drama. Speaking of drama, we couldn’t keep our eyes off of Zac Posen’s room-filling gowns. Are favorites are Dita Von Teese’s neoprene nude and red fishtail gown and Liu Wen’s ocean waves.

New Leather Necklaces + Festival Style Inspiration!

Ah March is upon us. This means that Spring is right around the corner. And what does Spring bring besides April showers and May flowers? Music Festivals! SXSW in Austin, Coachella in California, Winter Music Conference and Ultra in Miami- there’s so much to see and hear, and so many fashion choices to be made!

Festival fashion is always such a fun project to plan out. Fringe, tie dye, cut off denim shorts, Native American and South American styles mixing with vintage designer and so much more- it’s a time where people are free to be as stylish as they want (take celebrities wearing high end fashion to their VIP tents) and as laid back as you feel (like plush cartoon inspired onesies.) Either way, jewelry plays a HUGE factor. It’s fun, it’s personal and it, well it’s jewelry! That’s always a good thing.

Just in time for the budding Festival Season, we’ve introduced our newest addition- Leather Necklaces! The comfortable necklaces are made of super soft deer leather lace in various earth tones, and accented with golden and antique brass tubes. The necklaces are adjustable for longer or shorter length, and can be layered for amazing day to night time style.

Browse our selection of Leather  Necklaces here and find your favorite!
