Last holiday, y’all sold out Natasha’s first-ever charm necklace with us. So when she said she wanted to dream up a new one for summer, we knew it was going to be good. Think bold colors, meaningful details, and signature Natasha energy — all wrapped into three new charms that bring the fun, the flair, and the feel-good vibes.
We caught up with Natasha to chat about what makes this collab so special, where she finds her inspo, and how she’s styling her newest summer stack.
What inspired your collection with Allie + Bess?
Natasha:
YOU!!! Everyone went crazy for the Charmed in Cheer Necklace we debuted last holiday and we’ve been hard at work designing fabulously fun and NEW charms to add to my favorite necklace ever! When people stop me on the street to ask about my jewelry, it’s the ultimate compliment and this go-around was all about a beautiful cross charm that’s super colorful, a classic white enamel quatrefoil charm that wishes you good luck and harmony, and of course the happy charm — its name speaks for itself, so you can wear a little slice of happy each and every day!
What made you want to collaborate with Allie + Bess?
I’ve worked with Allie + Bess for 4+ years now and it’s been such an amazing experience to see how far they’ve come in this amazing girl-founded and built business. Working alongside them to design custom jewelry that I can bring to all my friends and followers is one of my favorite things, because I get to use my creativity and create pieces you can wear over and over again that are amazing quality and totally unique.
Working with Allie + Bess feels like crafting new pieces with your best friends—creative, supportive, and all about celebration. We’ve clicked season after season because we all share a love for bright, versatile accessories that light up a look. And full disclosure… they totally get my very “extra” idea of color and pattern—so it just keeps being magic!
What is your ultimate style inspo?
I’m old school and still peruse fashion magazines for inspiration… from the runway to everyday! A lot of home décor and design inspires my love of mixing patterns and prints and bringing tons of color into my wardrobe as well. Pinterest is also a great source of inspo that you can replicate easily.
Where do you usually get your style inspo from?
All over… but when it comes to summer, it’s destinations I either love to visit OR ones I hope to visit at some point. Think colorful pops from Gaudi in Barcelona, classic black, white and red from Chanel in Paris, and then of course the concrete jungle of New York City for street chic looks.
What’s your favorite way to wear your Allie + Bess pieces?
I will always have on some arm candy… that’s just who I am! A stacked wrist is my love language. I’ll layer up my favorite bracelets and then top things off with one of the new collection charms — the Pink Cross is a personal fave — hanging from a gold chain for a little pop of personality. And let’s not forget the Hammered Rectangle Earrings… they're that easy, go-with-everything, casual-but-put-together kind of staple that are SUPER lightweight, too. I wear them on the daily with everything from denim shorts to flowy sundresses.
Any styling tips you swear by?
Always mix your metals and colors—don’t be afraid to layer! A playful charm tucked into a dainty necklace, paired with bold earrings and a casual tee—or a flowy dress—gives me that happy juxtaposition of sweet and elevated. And always leave just a little breathing room so each piece can shine on its own.
What’s your current favorite jewelry accessory?
Right now you will always catch me in a Bangle Bracelet from my athleisure launch — I throw it into every stack without even thinking, it just works with everything. And the Zo Bracelet is a total must, too! I swap out the colors depending on my ensemble and it adds just the right amount of bold to the mix. It's the kind of combo that pulls a whole look together in the easiest, happiest way.
PRO TIP: Mix different size bracelets crafted from various materials for the ultimate chic stack!
What’s your all time favorite color?
Ha! Do I have to choose just ONE?! I’d say it has to be a tomato, summertime red. My nails in the warm weather months are OPI Coca Cola Red and for some reason I always gravitate towards that hue no matter what. It’s classic—and then I love to add in pops of pink, green and blue, too.
Our theme this year is “living in color.” How do you live in color?
By finding the happy in the everyday. Whether it’s in home décor [our contractor once told me my house reminded him of Baskin Robbins which was the ultimate compliment for me], a bold bracelet stack, or a fun bright lipstick—I believe color has power, and I choose it daily to lift me (and everyone around me as well!!).
Are you more of a color lover or a neutrals + metals gal?
100% color lover! I live for bold, bright, punchy shades that make you smile. I’ll sometimes embrace a neutral ensemble when the moment calls for it, but even then… you better believe I’m adding a pop of color to a stack to make it mine. Color just brings the fun — and I’m always here for it!
Who do you imagine wearing your Allie + Bess collection?
My besties—mamas, girlfriends, coworkers, your beach brunch crew… anyone who loves happy vibes, meaningful details, and pieces that feel like them. This collection is for the gal who reaches for what makes her smile—and wants that reflected in the little extras she wears.
