Fashion Friday Blues

Fashion Friday Blues

Don’t worry it’s not a miserable post, ‘blues’ is just referring to my shoes, duh. I love having a pop of color. Cobalt blue is something we’re going to see a lot of in Fall fashion, and I can’t say I hate it.

Take a look..   Top: Theory | Belt: Gucci | Denim: Hudson | Shoes: Stewart Weitzman, similar I LOVE cobalt blue, or any bright blue for that matter, worn with all black. I also love how the leather…

The World is your Oyster

The World is your Oyster

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.  Rolex Day-Date | Inside an Oyster shell Mother of Pearl it’s…

It’s definitely a benefit to know what you’re talking about when you’re looking for your next outstanding piece! So then comes: Carrots, Karats and Carats. Organic Carrots from a farm.. –Carrots are a vegetable and they have NOTHING to do with jewelry. Please kindly cease and desist from typing it this…

Simply by Simone does Watches

Hello everyone! Good morning! So excitingly enough today I took pictures three times before I could actually get them on my computer. Infuriated? Yes, yes I was. Even better, was that my camera deleted the pictures from the actual camera memory every time I plugged it into the computer. Finally, I just took the pictures with my old reliable iPhone. My camera is SO lucky that I’m a grown adult now and no longer smash inanimate objects into little pieces when they don’t cooperate. HA (just kidding about that last smashing part) ANYWAYS… Today with a lot of LOVE I…

How to: Statement Ring

How to: Statement Ring

Hello everyone and welcome to my ring party! Today I’m going to talk about statement rings. I think when most people think of statement rings they think of very, very large rings. Personally, for a ring to make a statement, I don’t think it has to be huge, but it does need to catch the eye and be a great design. I’m going to share with you today some pictures of my personal favorites! Here we go: Costume: Melinda Maria YSL Ring finger: Sterling Silver, similar | Pointer: Philippe Audibert I think it’s important to get quality costume rings so they…
