I was thrilled when Anjolee sent over this bracelet for me to review, but when it came to styling it, I got stuck. I've always, always wanted a diamond tennis bracelet (mine is actually high-quality cz for review purposes)as they are such a classic piece of jewelry. Timeless really, and they go with most anything. My dilemma wasn't actually my gorgeous bracelet, it was reconciling the two different sides of me. The first side, classic, preppy, loves diamonds and cardigans and topsiders and sunny blond sleek hair, shops at the mall and Target, loves Coach bags. The other side, my inner bohemian, that loves knit/crocheted vests, distressed denim, vintage leather, and lace dresses, buys handmade items form unknowns on Etsy. I first wore my bracelet out on my birthday with a LBD, heels, and red lips. However, when it came to posting it for the blog, I wanted to be able to show that I could wear my classic diamond Tennis Bracelet and satisfy both of my sides, the prep and the bohemian. I threw together this outfit and tried to bring together elements from both of my favorite fashions.
I wore a classic leopard cashmere cardigan, a cream colored ruffled blouse, distressed/cuffed boyfriend jeans, my thrifted camel booties, a vegan fringed bag, my Anjolee bracelet, my usual rings, and my hand made necklace (I made it.) The top is all classic, while the bottom is boho and the accessories mix the two and tie it all together I think.
My favorite thing about my bracelet besides that it is stunning? I can put it on with one hand because it has one of those clasps that you push in and flip down. I hate wanting to wear a bracelet and having to take it in my pocket to work so someone can help me put it on!
I think I was able to pull together my two sides and create an outfit that is very Ashleigh. If you love my classic tennis bracelet as much as I do, be sure to visit Anjolee and browse their selection of customizable diamond and gem stone jewelry. Don't forget there's free shipping!

Thanks Becky! I wear the bracelet a lot to work since I have to wear "demure" jewelry there. It passes their inspection lol.
The only problem with the bag is it is SOOOO big I stuff my life into it!
Thank you Rachel. I tried. My only issue is when I reviewed the photos. I dislike my red lippy and the sun was SO bright I kept squinting which looks bad lol.
I loved everything except my hair and wish i had done a smokier eye with a more neutral lip.
