{rose gold set w/ black and white diamonds}
Its without a doubt that I adore a big statement piece, but sometimes all it takes is the barest wisp of gold and thread to set my heart aflutter. This his & hers birthstone ring is a perfect little delicate piece of jewelry just perfect for marking such special occasions. But it can be anything really, like the birthstones of your best friends, maybe you parents or children. The small subtle stones make this ring pretty versatile thus wearable with any outfit. If you’re anything like me, its tough for me to take off my sentimental jewelry and with this tiny delight you need not worry!

We’re All Brace-Faced Now!
October 10, 2011
At first I was apprehensive to embrace this trend… I struggled through braces, having them for the last years I spent in high school and even in my senior portraits, which at the time seemed like such a big deal! So as you can imagine, when I first saw these straight-teeth stretchies i wasn’t too hip to the idea. The designers, 2 sisters, Jennifer & Lisa Salzer 1 orthodontist 1 innovative fashionista have combined the stretchy power chains typically wound around the brackets of braces with individual metal brackets and colored little bands to make various funky color combinations with pops of neon. Braced-lets are what they are and they have been said to be stepping into the spotlight as the "new" silly bandz. BRACEDLETS are crafted entirely out of brand new, authentic orthodontic materials. These stretchy power chains come in a rage on bright and colorful mixes and are accented with metal brackets & contrasting elastic rubber bands. You can collect them, trade them or share them, but either way, BRACE YOURSELF! Ha! I’m not so hip to the neon colors, but I definitely stopped by Fred Segal this past week and picked myself up a few of braced-lets in some of the more subtle colors. In my opinion they fit right into my arm party!
Way to turn something typically torturous materials into something fun!

October 5, 2011
This mornings Max and Chloe’s new arrival email featured the Abhaas Jewelry Collection. And although these accessories aren’t really reminiscent of Fall, the Abhaas collection is undoubtedly my October Obsession! Diamonds, Rubies and Sapphires are a long shot when it comes to my “budget” on accessories, but my love for this type of glitz is undying… and like I always say, a girl can dream right. Abhaas’ gleaming gems deliver an unexpectedly edgy look to already posh pieces. This exquisite Indian Jewelry has the ability to make a bold statement without being ostentatious so if you are down for the splurge, dive in!
