What to Shop from the Etsy Spring 2018 Jewelry Trend Guide

While you may know Etsy as an online marketplace for customizable gifts and engagement rings, it also just so happens to be a treasure trove for the latest fashion inspo (yes, really!). If you’re intent on uncovering unique, one-of-a-kind pieces hand-crafted by talented artisans, then you’ve come to the right place. Etsy’s resident trend expert Dayna Isom Johnson predicts these next four jewelry categories — based upon top searches and what’s currently hot among buyers and sellers — are on the cusp of blowing up.

Mountain Jewelry

The hills are alive! Embrace the great outdoors with Little Paper Crane’s best-selling Copper Mountain Peak Ring ($35).

Gear up for your next adventure with this elegant Everli Gold Mountain Necklace ($85), a subtle ode to the undulating ridges and valleys that you call home.

You can count on rocking this hand-stamped Peach Tree Lane Brass Mountain Sunrise ($21) from sunup to sundown.

Tutti Frutti

These hand-painted Boo and Boo Factory Gold Tassel Earrings ($32) — think of it as wearable art for your ears — are the ish. Go bananas by styling ’em with a white jumpsuit and a retro jelly basket bag.

Picnic-approved, summer-ready, these fresh ‘n’ fruity Watermelon Perler Bead Earrings ($10) by Adults Are Kids Too were made for the ‘Gram.

Get ready to add a punch to your lewk with a set of Dzy Dzy Designs’ kitschy Cherry Earrings ($25). These bad boys would look berry cute styled alongside a flouncy summer blouse or LWD.

Lucite

Long live lucite is right. We’re loving the minimalist look of this Jill Makes Clear Acrylic and Brass Statement Necklace ($36), especially when teamed with a silky cami and pantsuit for the boardroom.

“Look, ma, no hands!” Day or night, work or play, these Liz Lau Studio Clear Handy Studs ($20) will be a match for your offbeat style sensibilities. Add a tuxedo blazer, maybe?

Ah, we can see clearly now. Swap out your ubiquitous hoops for a pair of Kertis Translucent Lucite Earrings ($35). Expect the milky quartz beads to make a grand entrance with a Grecian-inspired maxi in tow for upcoming summer nuptials.

Brooches

Spring 2018 marks the return of brooches, but here’s the kicker: Modern interpretations (and vintage-inspired heirlooms) rule the land. Channel the tropics with an exotic Green Palm Leaf Brooch ($27) by LAK LAK Paris that would look hella cute fastened to the lapel of a sleeveless blazer or canvas tote.

Use this Sketch Inc Geometric Neon Origami Brooch ($14) to customize a denim jacket (or vest) for a mood-enhancing accoutrement.

Fasten this extra AF Sailor et Irma Metallic Evil Eye Brooch ($56) to the collar of a crisp button-down for a snazzy update. Wink.

Everyone has their go-to groceries when it comes to shopping at Trader Joe’s, but there are plenty of items at the famed grocer that go completely unappreciated. From beauty buys to unexpected household goodies, these Trader Joe’s finds are downright wacky – and they’re all defying our expectations of what good old TJ’s has to offer.

Scroll on for 8 totally wacky things you didn’t know you could get at Trader Joe’s.

Meredith Holser

1. Skincare

You could buy your entire skincare routine at Trader Joe's if you really wanted to! The grocer carries everything from retinol serum to under eye cream to moisturizer, and the best part is plenty of the picks are undeniably affordable!

Reddit

2. Pet treats

That's right! TJ's carries a number of dog and cat treats so you can let the furry one in your life know just how much you love 'em.

Trader Joe's

3. Laundry detergent

TJ's laundry detergent is just $6 a pop, which is a pretty good deal! TJ's claims it's "eco-friendly," thanks to the formulation of essential oils and coconut-derived surfactants. Free of synthetic dyes and fragrances, this hypoallergenic detergent is friendly on all skin types.

Trader Joe's

4. Paper towels

The next item is not so much a "wacky" find, but it can be fairly unexpected if all you go to Trader Joe's for is groceries. In addition to these 100% recycled paper towels, you can also shop toilet paper at TJ's – now you know!

Trader Joe's

5. Toothpaste

OMG, TJ's sells toothpaste?! There are two formulas listed on their site right now, including one fluoride-free and one fluoride-filled tube.

Trader Joe's

6. Collagen powder

Collagen helps support your joint health, skin health, and hair health – though our bodies naturally produce less and less of it as we age. This formula from TJ's isn't something we'd usually expect from the grocer, but seeing as it easily dissolves into everything from coffee to smoothies to tea and even orange juice, we've gotta try it out.

Reddit

7. So many bags

So. many. bags. is right! Trader Joe's famed tote bag collection features everything from the Canvas Mini Tote Bags (pictured above) to printed totes like the recently-dropped Cheese Adventures bag. TJ's also just started stocking theirMini Cooler Tote Bags on shelves in the most adorable pink and lavender colorways!

Reddit

8. In-house alcohol

Trader Joe's surprisingly produces their own spirits! We've had a taste (or two) of their Small Batch Vodka, but have also seen TJ's tequila and bourbon on shelves before. Beyond their brand-name alcohols, you can find plenty of outsourced wines, beers, IPAs, ciders, and more at select locations.

One of my favorite new ways to upgrade a simple and basic outfit is by throwing on a pair of gold statement earrings. They always really elevate the entire look, making me feel AND look way more put together and chic than before. I've gone through the latest trends and picked out the hottest statement earrings at the moment, so keep reading for all of our favorites worn by the likes of Hailey Bieber and more!

Heaven Mayhem Tabi Earrings

IMO, Heaven Mayhem is the queen of gold statement earrings! They have so many different styles and options for the classic and chic, cool-girl look! Even THE It-Girl herself, Hailey Bieber, has been seen rocking these beauties lately.

Heaven Mayhem Hoop Earrings

I see these earrings everywhere, and for good reason! They're a great starter pack to gold statement earrings, and they go with every outfit; casual or dressy! After these, you'll be hooked for sure!

Sézane Flora Hoops

I have these in the white, and I wear them to almost any major event, dinner, or wedding that I have because they mix and match with so many different outfits! I get soooo many compliments on them multiple times anytime I go out, so be prepared — they're well-loved!

Open Edit Teardrop Earrings

These are almost identical to the Bottega earrings that went viral last year, worn by Hailey Bieber and so many others. Except these adorable earrings are about $800 less than their designer counterpart, so I would definitely opt for this cheaper, but still chic alternative!

Madewell Chunky Heart Earrings

Madewell does such a great job with their accessories — I've bought multiple items from them with them never really tarnishing. These chunky earrings are perfectly on trend, and at such an affordable price too!

Mango Chunky Stone Earrings

I love these gold statement earrings! The hardware is definitely gold, but the pops of color in the stones bring such a fun element to any outfit. I'd pair these with an otherwise simple dress for date night, matching my bag to one of the four colors in the stones. I can totally see these with a dainty pink purse, or a classic chocolate leather bag.

Jenny Bird Florence Earrings

These were gifted to me, but I'm telling you right now, I've worn them SO much that I would buy them in a heartbeat. In fact, I've already planned to re-purchase them once they show signs of wear, but that's yet to happen after having worn them for nearly a year! They are extremely high quality, durable, and perfect for everyday use!

Coach Carriage Studs

These are giving me all the vintage-vibes with the sweet horse-drawn carriage engraved into them! I love the detailing, and I especially love how affordable they are, given these earrings are Coach. They're simple but are sure to become an everyday pair!

Madewell Pearl Earrings

Pearl and gold together just look phenomenal and so classy! I love these because they aren't as weighty, so they won't feel super heavy on your ears when you wear them, all the while still giving the illusion of more hearty earrings. Definitely perfect for a comfy, cute statement earring!

Heaven Mayhem Wine Earrings

I personally have these and wear them ALL the time! They are the perfect accessory to an all black look. My favorite way to style them is with a chic blazer and jeans with a slicked back bun, and voila! The earrings pack a punch and add some fun to an otherwise simple outfit!

Bauble Bar Flower Earrings

Flower earrings are a great way to make a statement, and I absolutely love Bauble Bar for all of their statement jewelry! They have some other great gold options that are sure to stand out and help add some flair to your outfit!

Sézane Heart Earrings

These gold statement earrings definitely made a statement (see what I did there?) when they went viral on Tiktok! They sold out for a brief moment, but they're available now, so run to grab them while they're still in stock!

Anthropologie Gold Starfish Earrings

Want to be an IRL Princess Ariel?! Then these are the earrings for you! I would definitely grab them if you have any upcoming tropical vacations planned because these would be to-die for during a beach-front dinner!

Petit Moments Dangling Earrings

Dangling earrings are such a moment because they just feel so elegant and extravagant at the same time! Every time I wear earrings like this, it feels like I'm headed off to fancy ball in a gown. And these stunning earrings are made with 18k gold plating, so they're extremely nice quality without all the fully-gold cost.

Sterling Forever Pearl Earrings

The vintage '80s brooch-looking earrings will never be out of style, I'm truly obsessed with them! If you can't thrift them, then I would highly suggest these stunning pearl earrings from Sterling Forever, because they really do look straight out of the '80s! These are the perfect statement piece to any outfit!

Which rom-com TV show will you be watching this weekend? Let us know on Facebook — I am long overdue for an Emily in Paris rewatch!

If you're like me, nine times out of ten, you pick your movie based on who's in it. You can jump around genres or between movies and TV, but as long as your favorite actor or actress is starring, you're set. Ahead of the A Simple Favor 2 release on May 1, we'll need to revisit some old titles to get even more Blake Lively. Good thing she has such a great filmography! Here are some movies (and one very important TV show) to watch.

Here are 11 of the best Blake Lively movies you can stream now.

1. The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (2005) — Rent on Amazon Prime

Warner Bros. Entertainment

This is one of those non-negotiable summer movies that I have to watch as soon as the weather starts warming up. It's got everything: early 2000s nostalgia, solid female friendships, and a stellar cast. Blake plays Bridget, alongside America Ferrera's Carmen, Alexis Bledel's Lena, and Amber Tamblyn Tibby. They're four best friends who decide to share a magical pair of jeans during their first summer apart. And while you rewatch, read up on Everything We Know About Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants 3.

2. Gossip Girl (2007) — Stream on Max & Netflix

Warner Bros. Television/The CW

Gossip Girl completely changed television, and the first season is still one of the best in all of TV if I do say so myself. None of Blake Lively's characters have quite the same style and drama that Serena van der Woodsen does, even as she tries to navigate life as a socialite. My favorite episode? The pilot.

3. The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 (2008) — Rent on Amazon Prime

Warner Bros. Entertainment

Bri and the rest of the girls are back, this time after their freshman year of college. They're having a harder time staying in touch, and as they enter adulthood, they must reconcile their dreams, family secrets, and betrayals of all kinds.

4. Green Lantern (2011) — Stream on Netflix & Max

François Duhamel/DC Comics/Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc.

Is this the most well-received superhero movie? Definitely not. Is it the worst one I've seen? Also no. Blake stars opposite her future husband Ryan Reynolds as Carol Ferris, vice president of Ferris Aircraft. After Parallax becomes a threat to the powers that be, Ryan's Hal Jordan must help the Green Lantern Corps protect the galaxy.

The amount of time we spend in space with the Corps is the most alienating aspect of this movie (that pun was not intended, but I'll go with it). Even though more time with less characters would have grounded the movie, it's very fun to see Blake and Ryan act together. Rent on Amazon.

5. The Age of Adaline (2015) — Stream on Netflix

Lionsgate

This movie was my entire personality in high school, and if you are a history nerd or a costume lover, you need to add this to your watchlist STAT. This Blake Lively movie is all about Adaline, who becomes ageless when she's struck by lightning, thanks to a (fictional) scientific law that hasn't been discovered yet. We see Adaline move through the decades with two rules: move around every ten years once she no longer looks her age, and never fall in love. Easier said than done.

6. Café Society (2016) — Stream on Prime Video

Lionsgate

Blake stars opposite Jesse Eisenberg, Kristen Stewart, and Steve Carell in this old school Hollywood story. When Bobby (Jesse) has his heart broken by Vonnie (Kristen), he returns to the Bronx. His new job in a nightclub leads him to begin a romance with a socialite — until Vonnie returns.

7. The Shallows (2016) — Stream on Starz

Columbia Pictures

If you're more of a thriller fan than a rom-com lover, this flick will have you on the edge of your seat. Nancy (Blake) takes some time away after the loss of her mother, and decides to go surfing alone. When a great white shark attacks and leaves her stranded, Nancy has to figure out how to survive.

8. All I See Is You (2016) — Rent on Amazon Prime

Open Road

In this psychological thriller, Blake's Gina is haunted by an accident that left her blind, but a brand new operation in Bangkok restores the sight in her right eye. Instead of excitement or relief, she finds that her husband James has nothing but jealousy and insecurity.

9. A Simple Favor (2018) — Stream on Netflix

Lionsgate

Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively star as Stephanie and Emily, respectively. Stephanie is a mommy blogger who is in awe of Emily's glamorous life — until Emily goes missing and leaves a trail of secrets in her wake. Speaking from experience, this is the perfect girls' night watch — especially if none of you have seen it.

10. The Rhythm Section (2020) — Stream on Pluto TV

Paramount Pictures

Stephanie Patrick (Blake) doesn't know how to heal after a plane crash kills her family. When she learns it wasn't actually an accident, she enlists the help of a former CIA operative to help her find — and punish — everyone involved.

11. It Ends With Us (2024) — Stream on Netflix

Sony Pictures Releasing

In It Ends With Us, Lily Bloom's life is finally looking up. She's falling in love and opening her long-awaited flower shop. But when her new boyfriend starts repeating old patterns, and her first love reenters the picture, things get more complicated than she ever expected.
