"Vintage Wallpaper Earrings

Launched in 2003 by Kiona van Rhee-Wilson, Lucky Accessories is a boutique that sells jewelry, hair accessories and a variety of fabric and paper accessories online, at trunk shows, artist’s markets and through select retailers nationwide. Right now I am loving these vintage wallpaper earrings! Not only are they made of vintage materials but each pair of earrings are also reversible. So that like two great pairs of earrings for the price of one!"

"Meet the Mom Behind Lucky Accessories

(...)How do you juggle family and work at home?
That’s one of my biggest challenges. If my inspiration and love for my business got its way I would be working on that around the clock. But over the years I have learned to fine-tune a somewhat set schedule that allows me to work on my business for only a certain amount of time every day, and then use the rest of the time being a mom and a wife without getting distracted by doing things for the business. That makes me sound like I prefer to do my work over being a mom and a wife, which is not true at all- but I think I enjoy the outlet the ever changing landscape of my business offers in addition to the often taxing and monotonous tasks of a mom. But I always have to be very conscious of keeping the two separate as the business can easily take over, which in turn will (make) me feel lousy as a mom and wife. It’s a delicate balance, but in those days I have them all perfectly figured out, I feel on top of the world." (read the entire interview)

"Better than a string around your finger...

...are these "little reminder" necklaces by Lucky Accessories! The two sided pendants feature vintage wallpaper with a different image on each side so you can reverse them depending on your mood (or many outfits.) One side has a little "reminder" for you such as "listen," "love," "laugh"- good things to remember during the hectic days of a typically busy life- and the other side features a pretty little vintage clipping.

Check out these pendants along with all the other lovely jewelry and goodies at Lucky Accessories!"

"Lucky Accessories' Little Reminder Pendants

These cute pendant necklaces are called 'Little Reminders' as they each contain a word reminding us what to do each day, something that we often forget. You can choose from 'Inspire', 'Live', 'Listen', 'Laugh', 'Trust', 'Read', and 'Love', otherwise create a custom word for an extra $5. On the reverse side of each pendant is a pretty little image made from vintage wallpaper. These pendants can be bought from Lucky Accessories for $30, where each is slightly different, ensuring you an unique bauble for your neck."

"Store Review: Lucky Accessories

You’ll feel lucky when you start shopping at Lucky Accessories. The only tricky part will be deciding which items to buy. If you loved Jennifer Aniston in The Break Up, you’ll love this Shell Leaf Pendant Necklace similar to the leaf pendant adorning Aniston’s neck through most of the movie. Or if you prefer a more ‘charming’ look with a stylish flair, then you won’t be able to resist the Locket Charm Necklace in vintage lace or chain.

Of course, there are earrings, bracelets, watches and more, all designed and made by the Dutch-born owner Kiona van Rhee-Wilson. And what are the prices like, you might ask, for creative fun pieces that combine trendy looks with classic themes? Generally, items range from $35-$70, and each piece will be well worth the price. So find something to make you feel lucky!

"Get Lucky!

Lucky Accessories, that is. Created by the very talented Kiona Wilson, Lucky Accessories is a great line chock full of lovelies that will brighten your day.

One Chic Mama spoke to Kiona about what trends are hot this season. Some things she mentioned are lockets and lace, especially vintage or vintage inspired. And we moms love lockets! They're perfect to keep pics of our little ones close by, and these are some of the most stylish lockets I've seen in a while.

Natural fibers and string used as part of the jewelry also seem to be emerging as polular trends, as well as lots of natural & sea related components such as shell.

These necklaces will definitely help to spice up your summer wardrobe.

Kiona mentions that her best sellers this season are any multi-color styles, because they seem to go with everything, as well as her "little reminders" group. This is a great way to keep yourself focused during a frazzled day. Just glance in your reflection and see the words "listen" or "laugh" and you remember that yes, these are important. Kiona says that when she designs jewelry she concentrates on creating things she herself (a mom, too) would wear, as well as keeping what's in style in mind. A lot of her designs appear timeless since they're not dictated by trends.

We think she's got a good thing going. Keep it up, Kiona!"

"Feeling Lucky?

Lucky Accessories

There are women all over the planet searching for the same thing--ironically enough, that thing is to be unique. Ah, how refreshing it is to be the first, the only, a trendsetter... That's not always easy though, is it? Well, it depends on how you look at it. If you look at it through Kiona van Rhee-Wilson's eyes, you might think it's pretty darn simple!

Be the source of all envy with one of these inimitable gemstone cluster rings by Kiona, designer of Lucky Accessories. This sterling silver, handwrapped ring features a large cluster of fresh water pearls, dyed jade, and Bali silver accents. It is sold for a mere $35."
