Darleen Meier Jewelry Office Tour | Feminine and Chic Office Reveal

I am excited to finally share my girl boss space and give you a full Darleen Meier Jewelry office tour for my business, and where I make and design jewelry and where I blog. I’m not sure why I haven’t shared my office before, but I think it’s about time! This office space is right off the front door entry, so it’s one of the first rooms you see when you enter the house. I wanted to create a feminine and chic office that has the design elements of my brand, but is also inviting and cozy. We love this space and hang out here every day!

One of the things I had to deal with when designing this room was storage. As a jeweler, I have a lot of raw materials, chain, stones, tools and packaging goods that I need to store and hide. So a cabinet was a definite need, but I wanted to make it appealing for the space. The mirrored white cabinet was perfect because the top is also a great way to lay out orders and current products. I already had the blue glass curio cabinet from our previous house that stored china and glassware. I bought it at a local wholesale furniture shop, and I love the shape and unique color, so I knew I wanted to display my jewelry styles. It’s been so great because I have customers who come over and shop the case. The picture gallery was a recent design element mixing old art with new art and prints. My grandma’s painting of the red barn is a priceless favorite, and I love that I get to see it everyday and have it close to me. All the unique picture frames and sizes goes so well together. It draws in a lot of different art styles but all complement each other. My desk is large, and I keep going back and forth whether to refinish it, but the black finish goes well with the white shag rug and hides alot of my jewelry tool marks! I also love the large desk space, and I usually have many projects laid out on it! Here is my design list breakdown:

White velvet modern sofa (similar)

mirrored white cabinet

blue glass cabinet (similar)

off white shag rug

black desk

small side drawer

gold frame coffee table (DIY)

Abstract art pillow

pink greek key pillow

Drum chandelier light

clear glass table light

white shelves with gold shelf bracket (spray painted)

gold task lamp

three glass ball table lamp

pink watercolor print

watercolor ink blot print (DIY)

If I have missed anything please let me know! I hope you find inspiration for my Darleen Meier Jewelry office tour.

Casual Blazer Outfit

Casual Blazer Outfit

The perfect transitional outfit from winter to spring is a casual blazer outfit. Our springtimes come early in the south, so we have had a few days of cool mornings to warm afternoons. Throwing a blazer on is a great choice for those days when it’s too warm for a coat, but too cold for just a blouse. A blazer is not what it once was and has adapted so much since the days of men’s sport jackets. Often worn by women for business attire, the blazer has been redefined through the years, and is a staple in most wardrobes. Once a traditional piece of clothing, the blazer now has be styled in a variety of ways, and now comes in a variety of fabric and texture. You may see it styled more often as a casual blazer outfit with holed jeans than a traditional business suit with trouser pants. Here are a few ways to get that casual blazer outfit while mixing it up a bit.

Casual Blazer Outfit: Schoolboy blazer with elbow patches and blanket scarf

DMJ earring

There is still a bite of cold in the mornings, so when you throw on a blazer add a scarf to finish off your outfit while still accessorizing it. This is my typical “mom” outfit. I want to look put together during the day for a lunch date and still be able to play soccer mom in the afternoon. A schoolboy blazer with distinct leather elbow patches and a posh, slightly shrunken fit is an all time favorite.

Casual Blazer Outfit: Velvet blazer and Sweater

SHOP THE POST:

DMJ Necklace | CECELIA NEW YORK heels (similar) | DAYLIN SKY Bag

Velvet was big this winter season and same with velvet blazers. A velvet blazer is not for everyday but that’s what makes it so distinctive, and it is a nice alternative to a black blazer. I love the look of a velvet blazer over a soft thick sweater. Wear heels to keep it classy and jeans to pair it down.

Casual Blazer Outfit: Keeping it safe with Black

SHOP THE POST:

If you don’t have a basic black blazer or any blazer, start with a traditional, black blazer. There are so many ways to style a black blazer. I can’t live without my black blazer. I wear it with skirts, dresses, jeans. My ultimate favorite! Denim on denim is a style trend this winter/spring so to bring in variety finish it off with a blazer and a colorful belt.

Casual Blazer: Corduroy and Herringbone Blazer

SHOP the Post:

Leopard Clutch | Earrings | Personalized Dog Tag Necklace | Cecelia New York Laser Cut Heels (similar)

Corduroy and herringbone fabrics you see more during the Fall months, but pull out your corduroy blazer, tweed or herringbone blazer and enjoy it this winter/spring but wear it with a striped shirt or fun word-scripted t-shirt for a lighter look.

New Arrivals: Fall Winter Collection

New Arrivals: Fall Winter Collection

The holiday season is basically upon us! Once Halloween comes, you know it’s a blink and Christmas is here. So I’ve added to my jewelry website new arrivals fall winter collection. Most of the styles are up under “Just Added”, but I still have quite a few more styles to add. So stay tune for additional styles on the new arrivals: fall winter collection.

Also I’m excited to add a charm bar for the fall winter collection. I’m testing it out this weekend at the Pinners Conference in Salt Lake City! Yes I will be there.

Business Casual Fall Outfit

Business Casual Fall Outfit

The last few weeks I’ve been switching my mom sweats for business casual fall outfit to wear to some conferences that I’ve been attending. It’s been fun to have a reason to fully get dressed for the day. Slimming jeans and black slim pants are usually my go to keep it casual. Heels, blouse and a nice blazer then gives those pair of jeans a professional and businesslike impression. I am loving these open-toed, suede tassel heels . I found similar ones for only $35 and Amazon is selling them for only $75! The are perfect for fall and look great with a pencil skirt or jeans. And I must they are pretty comfortable. Many offices now allow a more business casual outfits for their employees or have casual Fridays. Blazers are also not a requirement for business casual fall outfit, but if you like wearing them it’s a nice touch. The blazer I am wearing is old, but I linked a similar one. Long cardigans or tailored sweaters are definitely good to wear in the fall months with short sleeve shirts underneath, just to keep you comfortable in the cool mornings and then once the heat hits you can remove layers. As always to dress up any business casual fall outfit, don’t forget the accessories! I am excited to now be carrying this leopard faux fur print clutch in my shop that comes with a leather tassel. Prints are an easy way to take a classic colors and bring to life the outfit. This clutch does just that and can be wore with so many other outfits. In the shop post scroll listed above, I linked another leopard clutch, but if you buy in my shop it is only $48 and is less than half of what I linked above. Score!

I am also excited to be adding a whole new line of charms and personalized pieces to DMJewelry. This chunky charm bracelet will be added to my shop in the next couple weeks. But if you happen to be at Pinners Conference in Salt Lake City this weekend, I will be exhibiting my new line of charms pieces so you must come and see and say hello if you happen to be SLC local. Also, I am giving a 15% discount to all my followers who come and buy!

Boho Fur Sweater Outfit

Circle Ring

Winter is almost done in my neck of the woods! That was fast. But there is still a chill in the air, so chunky sweaters and fur vests are perfect to wear. This boho fur sweater outfit is a right on check. Fur vests and faux fur coats have been my favorite item to finish off an outfit this winter. Wear with jeans and a long sleeve t-shirt, sweaters or skirts. I wore a similar boho fur outfit with a black dress.

The skirt I am wearing is from Zara. It’s part of their Trafaluc collection, which I love because that collection is affordable and casual wear. I know I am going to wear this stretch skirt into the spring.
My leather boots are also from Zara and are on sale to $20! Looks like they are going fast!
The TopShop slouchy bag has been a favorite. My everyday. Goes with so much, but unfortunately it’s sold out. I listed some other options below.

Finish an boho fur sweater outfit always with a Muze hat. Of course! The hat I am wearing is similar to the creme beret hat on my site. The Mutze xx DMJ collaboration has been so much fun this winter season. I love working with Mutze hat creator Ashley. This is the last month to order Mutze hats !

Over the Knee Boots Under $150

Over the Knee boots Under $150: I’ve been on the search of reasonably priced over the knee boots that weren’t a fortune, and ones I can wear around town as a one of my winter basics. I finally found these ones from Steve Madden with a low heel and on sale, and are a perfect knock-off of these over the knee boots I am obsessed over. The Steve Madden boots are comfortable and one of the things I like is that they aren’t so high on my thigh. Many of the over the knee boots I found were just a little too extreme and hit too high that it was uncomfortable sitting down and only went with a few outfits. I paired these boots with skinny black pants and basic shirt. Perfect mom style for my lifestyle on the go. Take advantage of many of the boot sales going on. I have a feeling that over the knee boots are sticking around for a bit. These are perfect to add to your winter wardrobe and wear for next winter season!

I searched some of my favorite over the knee boots under $150. Many are on sale, so get them while they last!
