BEACH CHIC Gold Spike Necklace Giveaway

Plus save 25% on jewelry from Gold & Gray this month!

I’m back from Hawaii, but not before I was able to squeeze in a beach photo shoot for a gold spike necklace giveaway from Gold & Gray! Jewelry designer and blogger friend Lily’s über stylish blog was one of my first reads and still a fave to this day. So I had to take advantage of such an ideal location for her to showcase the beauty of this simple statement piece…with a chance to win one of your very own! I paired it with an easy breezy beach look — how would you style yours?

Gold & Gray gold spike necklace, $99 / Ray-Ban aviators, $150  / Joie “Pinot” blouse, $168  / Laundry by Shelli Segal bikini, $130 / denim cutoff shorts (similar), $78 

I wasn’t kidding about my Hawaii packing list! ;0)
