Ciao! It's Charlie Hamilton, and Taylor Crew. This is our blog on fashion, and inspiration. Our blog is going to focus on fashion, tips, and recommendations. Taylor and I might have different styles, but we both share the love of dressing good, and feeling good in what we are in. You have to be yourself in fashion, and have your own idea on things and styles.
Be You, Be Bold, Be Beautiful.

Love Yourself in All Ways,
Charlie and Taylor

J Crew

J Crew is my life. A majority of my wardrobe is J Crew, and I am completely fine with that! I love every outfit/piece they sell, and especially their ads! Their ads are so creative, and they pair things that look like they wouldn't go together, but they actually look awesome together! I would recommend to get one of their magazines, and then you can see and enjoy for yourself. From their magazines you can view items paired with other items, that you could possibly pair together also...or get an inspiration to create your own creative outfit! Another thing about J Crew that I love is that they have everybody's style most of the time. They have so many different looks in their store that you can always make your own style, and be unique. For example: I am into the more vintage/edgy look {darker colors also}, while Taylor on the other hand is a classy/preppy look {light colors, or a vibrant 'pop' of color}. Taylor's look isn't me at all, but does she look adorable in it? OF COURSE! I think everyday Taylor could not be wearing anything cuter. She works her style, and I feel like I work mine also. Each item from J Crew is very versatile, which makes it all the more reason to purchase it. J Crew can be very pricey, but I think it's worth it. Their clothing is made very well, and you get what you paid for. I have never stopped loving J Crew, and I probably always will! Check it out, you'll most likely enjoy it.


xoxo Charlie

Tip #2

To dress cute you don't always have to dress in designer


Smart shoppers can find good sales and bargains. If you find something cute, and it's not Tory Burch or Ralph Lauren, you can still by it! Don't feel bad if you cannot afford an expensive brand/item, or if your parents won't even get it for you. In most stores, you can always find something cute or something that you could pair with something else. For my wardrobe, and Taylor's, we don't wear everything from only one store! Wear different brands, and work em! All that's important is that you feel good, and that you can be a confident individual. Have fun being you!

Tip #1

Ciao! This is our first tip EVER on Turquoise Jewel. So here it goes:


Do NOT be afraid to express your own style!
Many girls (sometimes boys) are afraid to be themselves in the fashion world. Over time, you have to learn how to not be nervous about what others think. That is mostly what holds people back from expressing themselves. So for a New Year's resolution, try and wear something that you usually wouldn't. Have fun and be creative!
