Q:

I’ve been on a mission for an Anchor necklace for a while now and I’m finding that pieces are either too expensive or, if they’re affordable, not quite what I’m looking for like these ones from Forever 21. Where can I get cute ones for less? Any suggestions?

A:

Today’s Ask tristinstyling Q&A was submitted by one of our interns who is in for a little surprise when she reads this blog entry because the pendant (pictured left) is going to be hers! Mission complete.

Where did we find this piece you ask? Well, we took a piece off of an anchor ashtray that we got at goodwill for only 99 cents! Really! Look!:

Tada! No luck finding an anchor ashtray yourself? We took all the web work out for you and looked through over 550 different necklaces online. Here’s our top 5 most affordable anchor necklaces:

1. Miniature Boat Anchor Pendant on Silver Ball Chain, $9.99
2. Anchor Blues Necklace, $10.00
3. Anchored…Necklace, $14.00
4. Anchors Away, $15.00
5. Verdigris Anchor Necklace, $15.99

Being a personal stylist is dangerous because it’s easy to find yourself doing double takes and head turners while driving to check out… boutiques. Yeah…

It’s so bad we know!

But how can a shopaholic resist when stores pop up on your driving route just asking to get checked out? Embellish has been a head turner for us on Lincoln for a few months now but we didn’t get a chance to step in until just the other day!

The service and product information given by the store owner, Barb, was stellar. It was tough to just pick 5 but we did it so there it is, our top 5 picks from embellish below:

1. Hagar Satat – designs jewelry using a mix of leather & metal
2. Jillery by Jill Faglin – recycled aluminum jewelry
3. Jon Wye – graphic leather belts
4. Geo Art by Cynthia Gale – oversized ring and one of a kind bangles
5. Adorable and affordable fold over clutches
