Don't be afraid of being different..... April 3, 2019 13:34

Many people are afraid of what others may think of them, so they opt for trying to be the same as everyone else. It takes confidence and courage to go by the beat of your own drum. We don't want to be singled out and looked at differently. But my question is....WHY? 

If every person on the planet was the same, the world would be a very boring place. If everyone had the same hair, wore the same clothes and had the same style, it would look like something out of a sci-fi movie. 

We were all born with something unique and special, so why not show it?! Let go of the fear of being different and show the world YOUR style and who you truly are. Push yourself to stand out and shine!

With Spring just around the corner and warmer days we are excited to start updating our Spring wardrobe.  Here are five great tops to help you transition into the new season. They are versatile and affordable.

A soft pink blouse is a great staple piece because you can wear to work with a blazer during the week and add a pretty cami underneath on the weekends for date night or girls day out.

5 Ways to wear a Wrap Dress March 6, 2019 15:35

Many decades ago, the designer Diane Von Furstenberg said "Feel like a woman, wear a dress" and introduced her classic wrap dress. The wrap dress is still a favorite among woman of all ages. It can be worn many different ways, for many occasions and is flattering to all sizes.

Here are 5 ways to wear a Wrap Dress:

1) Wear a cute print with wedgy shoes and light jewelry for a casual afternoon walking through a craft fair, going to brunch or on vacation.

Most wrap dresses are made in a silky material more suitable for warmer months. But you can stretch the months by adding jackets and shawls as shown. Get creative and put a new twist on a classic.

Let's Talk Bracelets! Bracelet Trends March 4, 2019 10:26

With Spring and Summer on the way, we'll be wearing shorter sleeves and wearing more bracelets. Beaded stone bracelets, bangles and cuffs are really a hot trend. Layering them and stacking them can create endless looks.

But let's be honest, they are really not that comfortable. If you are working at a desk or counter or need to write, your wrist is basically sitting on these hard stones or hard metal bangle. It's pretty much the same with cuffs having to pry open the metal and squeeze your wrist through a small opening that leaves you with a scratched wrist. 

Which is why I created a bangle cuff style with a clasp. I have created two styles, one that is mainly Sterling Silver and one that has the look of a beaded style.You get the trendy look and can stack them but you have the comfort and ease of a clasp. So now your wrist is not sitting on top of some hard round stones while your trying to write.

These are not costume stretch style bracelets. Each genuine gemstone bead is hand wire wrapped with sterling silver or gold filled wire. And they are each one of a kind crafted from unique natural gemstones. Find your favorite style here BRACELET STYLES and create your own runway look this Spring.
