This Celestial Engagement Ring Trend Is Huge Right Now & It's Gorgeous

While I am not a blushing bride-to-be at the moment, I will admit that I’ve spent many leisurely hours combing through jewelry Instagrams and various celebrity wedding announcements in order to ogle a carat or five. A few friends of mine have even dedicated a group chat to our pursuit of sparkly baubles (engagement or otherwise), which is why the new moonstone ring trend has my interest especially piqued — it’s affordable enough to add a piece to my every day collection.

And while I’m on the kick of buying pretty things that I don’t need (but undoubtedly deserve) my online shopping cart is currently stacked with beach essentials —think French-inspired coverups, bikinis, and sunglasses — as well as plenty of going-out attire. A slinky slip dress has never failed me, and pairs perfectly with anything from a chunky dad sandal to minimalist sneakers. Although my fashion muscles are a little rusty after a year and a half of sedentary entertainment, I am beyond ready to throw on a new outfit, walk down a busy street in Manhattan, and potentially snap some necks. It’s hot girl summer, after all, and don’t you forget it.
