GOLDEN GLOBES 2015 | AFFORDABLE JEWELRY ALTERNATIVES

Awards season is over; so we will all have to wait another year before we can ogle more glam designer clothing and designer jewelry grace the red carpet.  I had a few designer jewelry favorites this year from the three major awards shows.

For this edition of Splendor Sidebar I thought I would share three of my favorite pieces from each awards show (in separate posts); but also let you all in on affordable alternatives available at ShopStyle (picked them out myself).  Happy shopping!
