Some of my favorite pieces of jewelry are made by designers that don’t specialize in jewelry and create pieces with far from fine components. Now that you know and understand a little more about fine jewelry, (if you don’t know what I’m talking about check out these posts, here and here) I’m going to talk about designer jewelry. Fortunately or unfortunately, designer and fine are not interchangeable terms. What do I mean? Lets take a better look.. Hermes bangle One of my VERY favorites is the hermes bangle. First off, if these were solid, genuine 24k gold, you could bet…
People have always said “don’t get mad get even,” which is some of the worst advice I’ve ever heard. You degrade your character when you hurt someone else. No matter what someone has done to you, when you seek revenge they only person that matters that you hurt, is you. The best thing you can do, is detach and let it go. You can even help others by volunteering to get your mind off of someone that has betrayed or hurt you in any way. The world is such a big place, why would you want to be another person…
It’s that time again! It’s amazing to me how out of my mind I am. I swear every Monday it feels like Friday will NEVER come, and now all of a sudden here I am, again, and I just can’t believe it’s Friday, again. So that’s enough of me losing it. I love this outfit.

I mean, of course the world is your oyster (duh). But that’s not exactly what this post is about. This Wednesday, I’m going to give you some insight on Pearls. Natural, Cultured and my favorite, Mother of Pearl.. Natural pearls are formed in an oyster’s stomach, when an external irritant, (usually a grain of sand) finds its way inside the shell. Cultured pearls are produced the same way as natural pearls however a pearl farmer would open the shell of the oyster, to insert an irritant such as a grain of sand.

It’s a fact of life that not every one is nice, not everyone has empathy and not everyone thinks before they speak. Sometimes good kind people even say something they don’t mean or out of anger. When we feel judged, picked on, targeted and just in the crossroads of someone having else a bad day, we get upset and our feelings get hurt. Don’t let these experiences make you think any less of yourself. I personally found this to be extremely true when applying for jobs. There’s nothing worse than someone telling you exactly WHY they’re deciding not to hire you.…
Hello and Happy Friday! After what was a very long week for me, we’re all finally here! I’m 100% relaxing this weekend, sometimes you just need to know when you need a break. Today I’m going to show you a look that I believe is very versatile, it reminds me of something I would wear to a baby shower or an indoor graduation party. Take a look.. Top: Forever 21, similar | Pants: H&M | Shoes: Dolce Vita | Bag: Chanel I love the lace up shoes. You can always stay on trend, not spend a lot, and still look…
