After being served an ad or two on Instagram by the brand, Aureum Collective, I was officially intrigued and eventually influenced to make a purchase. I’m really having a moment with accessories. I have been ordering new belts, earrings, scarves, etc to try over the last year. Also, I actually filmed this reel highlighting a few of the items I ordered. However, what I ended up keeping were these earrings and this belt. The earrings are practically weightless – so light and you forget you’re wearing them! The belt is a sleek option that’s a little more understated than the Khaite belt lookalike I have.

While I loved the look of this belt that I showcased in the Reel, the embellishments made getting the fit quite right a little difficult – the holes are more spread out, so it was either too small or too large on me. I ended up returning that along with these sunglasses, that had a bit of a wonky fit on me as well. I was really impressed with the quality of the pieces I ordered though, so I would absolutely recommend giving their accessories a try! They recently launched their summer collection, featuring a bunch of new belts in gorgeous light neutrals for the season. All of my belts are black, so I’m definitely thinking I need to try a few of the new styles to diversify my belt situation!

PS: These jeans have become some of my faves, but boy, are they controversial! Barrel leg/pieced jeans are definitely not for everyone. People either love them or hate them! I’m clearly in the camp of loving them, but it definitely comes down to styling and how you wear them. You can read what my Instagram followers thought in the comments of this post… so funny!
