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!" |

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

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!" |

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." |

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!

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!" |

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." |
