For all my preaching about quality over quantity, sometimes a girl just needs to take that last $40 in her checking account and treat herself to a little immediate gratification. Am I right? But of course, cheap thrills aren’t always all they’re cracked up to be (pleather shoes, anyone?). accessory concierge review

Luckily, I’ve met some friends that can relate. The lovely ladies behind Accessory Concierge, the newest (and quite possibly the best) “cheap chic” jewelry atelier on the block, are here to save you from those piles of jangly plastic junk by offering up a well-edited selection (read: no scrolling through endless pages of awful to get to the one or two goodies on the site) of the best bargain baubles around. And I, for one, can’t get enough.

Really, if that adorable little frog doesn’t make you smile this morning, I just don’t know what else to say.

I’ve been playing around with a few of their pieces for weeks now, and here’s what I know: for the price, these pieces are at least as well-made as some I’ve paid double for at J.Crew. And, added bonus: you get to support two amazing women and their brand new business. I can’t think of a better reason to bounce your rent check.
