What's In Her Bag with Blogger and Personal Stylist, Candace Read June 4, 2018 09:00
We are thrilled to feature one of our favorite fashion bloggers, Candace Read. She's always on point, has great taste (refined, practical and pulls off a finished look), gorgeous (inside and out), and fun. Her style is relatable, completely in touch with living life, wearing comfortable clothes and looking good while doing it.
I met Candace over a smoothie bowl at Zest at Easton Town Center. We chatted about her role at Wardrobe Therapy. She helps clients with personal shopping, wardrobe consulting, and closet restyling services. She brings her regular working girl style to her clients, and to readers of her blog. When not working or blogging, she's exploring Columbus with her husband.
Her bag reflects her life as a personal stylist, always on the go. Her items are functional and fun.
Candace typically carries a backpack or a satchel bag with a crossbody strap. Her soft leather backpack shown is from GiGi New York.
She's a huge fan of Neutrogena's lip color stick. She also carries Pacifica underarm wipes.
Her personalized field notes were a gift from A&F Challenge, a party hosted by Abercrombie and Fitch, benefitting a different non-profit each year.
A fabric tape measurer, Tide to-go stick, iPhone and changer, cash (for meters), pins and business cards are essential to her work as a personal stylist.
She wears her Honey Rose & K vintage Italian compass pendant. Its symbolic to her since she just did a rebranding of her blog from "Live Love & Read" to "Candace Read". She's changing her direction to reflect a "more mature, refined and a million times more confident in who I am {perks of getting older}".

We are excited that Candace is taking her Honey Rose & K with her on this exciting journey of rebranding and a new direction.

Accessorizing for National Wine Day! May 25, 2018 00:00
We LOVE wine. Why not celebrate our love? We are still wondering why its limited to National Wine DAY. Why not a month? Or all year?
Like fashion, wine is expressive. It's balancing. Science. Blending. Color. It's love. It's vintage.
Wine, like fashion, is a billion plus dollar market. Why? Because it makes us feel good.
In honor of National Wine Day, we would love to show you our favorite red, rose and white pieces online right now.
Meredith, owner of HRK, has a winery in her family. Ladies, road trip to Vino di Piccin soon!!
Enjoy celebrating National Wine Day!

Memorial Day Style May 24, 2018 08:00
We are finally embarking on summer! Pools are opening this weekend and the cookout season begins!
If you're heading to a Memorial Day party, you're more than likely heading to a cookout. Casual and fun, its a great way to break out the white eyelet dress or jean shorts. We have a great selection of red, white, and blue make your outfit more festive.
We love this Shopbop eyelet dress (only $49!!!) with our navy or red tassel earrings. A strappy sandal and denim jacket, this easy look is fashionable and comfortable!
For a fun look, we love this Target tank paired with red tassels.
For any patriot look you're going for, we have you covered.
Thank you to our men and women who have and are currently serving in our military.

Pool Bling: How to Accessorize Pool Side May 22, 2018 09:10
All winter long, I'm thinking of summer. While I don't enjoy being in the sun, I love laying under an umbrella, while the sun is shining.
Cover ups, new slide sandals, a new suit (or 3), and I'm shopping mid-February for pool days in June. Why? They're outfits! Why not accessorize them!!!
For the easy, sporty, suit and coverup, our simple pieces will work well. We love our vintage studs with a cotton coverup.
For a romantic, scalloped suit, something fun and whimsy is a nice contrast! We love our tassel earrings to add a pop of color against black.
For the newest trend in swim coverups, the kimono, we love pairing it with a simple drop earring, like our mod earring.
However you rock your swim wear, never forget to accessorize it!

What's In Her Bag: Bray's Way Blogger, Reagan Mamer May 16, 2018 09:45
If you follow Columbus bloggers, you are more than likely following Reagan Mamer's blog, Bray's Way. We love her lifestyle blog, full of home decor inspirations (and they're affordable!), wedding planning (the lace dress she chose!), and her favorite eateries. She's one of the nicest people I've met, and truly embodies the mid-western woman: down to earth and charming.
Reagan's home is as cozy as her personality. Just wrapping up a home renovation, the kitchen is amazing and her floral bathroom is swoon-worthy. Her bichon poodle mix, Leo, captured our hearts. Look at this sweet face!!!
Reagan's bag is full of great products, both practical and fun!
Her bag is a bamboo clutch from Amazon. It's light and so fun, perfect for summer!
She carries her favorite Kate Spade wallet (it's actually the best wallet, I am on my 3rd one. You can slide your cards in without having to open it!).
Her mirror sunglasses are from Vernacular.
Her favorite hand lotion is a gift from her friend. She gifted Reagan a bride box before her wedding, full of bridal essentials. She also keeps a travel Benefit mascara with her, for those important lash touchups.
She never leaves home without her travel toothbrush and toothpaste! After each cup of coffee, she's freshening up.
She loves a delicate necklace with bold earrings, like these from Honey Rose and K. She wears black, white and gray on rotation, so these black earrings go with much of her closet.
She always keeps a treat for Leo, because he's always in tow (and how can you resist not spoiling a puppy!)
Thank you Reagan for allowing us to peek into your cute bamboo clutch! We love your style, both home and fashion!
To see more of Reagan's great taste, what's she's up to, visit her blog at braysway.com.

How To Accessorize Your Preppy Clothes with Honey Rose & K May 11, 2018 08:30
The ladies who wear HRK want a modern and unique accessory. Since most of the line is one of a kind, the pieces tend to feel the vintage and boho vibe. We've heard women say "I'm not boho." "I can't pull that off." Guess what? You can!
Not everyone dresses alike, but our accessories cross all styles. We are going to show you how to pull our pieces into a preppy look.
Lilly Pulitzer. A classic that was adored by Jackie O. Enough said. There's never a question when someone wears Lilly. It's iconic. While most is bold, we love using a simple drop earring to pull a color out of the print. The pearl burst earrings will make a statement without taking away from the bold print.
Vineyard Vines. Who doesn't want to move to Martha's Vineyard and sail after walking into their store? They've paved a way for a new preppy look, especially with menswear.
We love our white tassels with seersucker, making for a simple, classic look. 
When wearing gingham, go for an unexpected statement, using a contract neutral to pull together. These peachy earrings are a great choice, especially with a popped collar
Your look doesn't belong in a box: preppy, boho, romantic, so why should accessories? Our gems can transition to many different looks.

Our Mother's Day Wish List May 8, 2018 12:33
Mother's Day is around the corner and we are excited to spend the day with our families. We've been helping our customers shop for gifts for their moms, sisters, daughters, and the women who are like moms to them. Today, you can shop with 20% off online or messaging us to help give the perfect gift, even if its for yourself! Use code MOM at checkout.
Here's what we've been eyeing, buying, and gifting!
1. A staycation at a local hotel. Just because its Mother's Day, who says you can't have an evening away from your family! Uninterrupted sleep! TV to yourself! Time to read the book you've been trying to get through for 6 months! Room service! Head home after checkout, just in time for your family to take you to brunch.
2. A bookstore giftcard. Nothing better than time by yourself to browse the new fiction with a cup of coffee, shop beautiful notepads, and pickup mini chocolates at the checkout counter. We love The Book Loft and Barnes and Noble.
3. A floral statement piece. Flowers are beautiful, but they only last for a week (if you're lucky). We love the idea of receiving a floral statement piece that will last for years. Our gorgeous daisy necklace, chasing daisies necklace, pink petal earrings, and the flower power earrings are great options!
4. Yoga class pass. An hour carved out of the day for your physical and mental health is a gift for the entire family. Whether gifting or receiving, it shows that health is worth giving.
5. Nothing better than giving and receiving a homemade gift from the kids. Our kids make their grandparents art, songs, videos, and books. We also love receiving their homemade gifts and of course, hugs and kisses.
Happy Mother's Day from all of us at Honey Rose & K

Inspiration for Into The Woods September 18, 2015 14:00
This season I'm taking you Into The Woods for some magical forest fun!
My inspiration comes from a modern view of a child's mystical adventures through the deep, dark woods. You'll meet creatures with porcupine quills, antlers and maybe even a few skulls.
Magic is everywhere and crystal balls lead you on your journey. It's a fairy tale adventure come to life through vintage.
More one-of-a-kind pieces exist in this story because I believe that you should be as unique as your jewelry.
I hope you enjoy the collection as much as I've enjoyed creating it. Watch as Winter rolls in, you'll feel a chill in the woods!
Thanks for coming along on my journey and check out the Golden Torch earrings in OK! Magazine and the antler wrap bracelet in Capital Style!
Xx,
Meredith
